Back to the Future

Posted on June 13, 2014 by admin

Back_to_the_FutureThink back to the times when there was no computer, no television, no tablets and definitely no mobile phones. Yes there was a time that none of these existed, but what did we all do when this was our world? The truth is that we are not quite sure, but put your head in a creative and imaginative mode and perhaps think of the ‘Waltons’.

The biggest problem with today’s world is that when we talk to our friends we don’t knock their door or give them a call; we either message them on a mobile phone or through a social network. Surely though this is a problem being that the interaction between friends is not actually natural, or at least between human-to-human. There is some belief that the human field of interaction is stronger and actually binds people together far easier when speaking in person.

Back to the Future

We all think of ‘Michael J Fox’ playing Marty Mcfly with his crazy scientist and that time forgiving car, but looking back whoever thought this all up actually got it pretty right. Think about it, flying skateboard, cars and trains passing through time, and those wacky Nike shoes, which are pretty close to what, are available right now. As we think of it, time just slowly moves along with whatever is in our minds at the time and what we want to believe that will happen. But back to the future, the past or present is an exciting prospect.

Top tips for wordpress plugins we love­­

Posted on May 30, 2014 by admin

For most businesses building there own website or for young vibrant web design companies knowing the very best plugins for wordpress is crucuial to success, or at least helping with making things easier online. Our top tips are these:

Yoast SEO for wordpress
The truth is that if you want to thoroughly succeed online, no one plugin will the number factor, but having the very best plugins will most definitely help. With yoast SEO it simply makes life easier, from the technical side of adding sitemaps and URL tidying to being able to implement your meta titles and tags.

But always remember that balancing your search engine optimization is better done nataurally and ethically, rather than attempting to cheat your way through online marketing. Being number one in the search engine rankings is possible with hard-work and building a strong brand and website online.

Akismet
As they say it is a plugin “Used by millions”, but it is very likely it is the very best around for protecting your blog or website from comment and/or trackback spam, of which every web owner will get loads of annoying emails from time to time. Especially when your site gets more and more popular!

Contact Form 7
Another great plugin that you can place anywhere on your website, this could be a contact page, about page or even get a quote page. The great thing about adding this plugin is that you can have identical contact forms on multiple pages, but unique to that page. The other bonus is that for tracking purposes you can actually see what each potential customer looks at and what page they fill out the form.

But amongst all else, adding this simply and easy plugin on your website it keeps copies of all ‘saved form submissions’, which also email your chosen email address inserted. Which is also great for SEO’s that want to see what there hard work has done, but also great for the business owner to see what there website has created and the last biggie, is that of never loosing a potential lead as it is on the back end of your WordPress website.

Some of the other handy plugins tools are redirection tools that can redirect one webpage to another, great for older websites changing to newer ones, with the 301 redirect and great starter. Plus also looking at customer review plugins, simple and easy to get your customers to review you and your service.
