Based on an existing logo we designed and developed a website layout and set of templates that brings together content, image and video media. The project also involved incorporating social media such as Twitter, online video viewing, tag clouds as well as links to other functionality.

Businesses (small or large) can use Twitter in many ways:

• As a marketing tool to tell customers about your product/service e.g. by making regular pictures of your B&B / surrounding views available for holidaymakers to see
• To provide an additional way for potential customers to get in touch e.g. putting a link on your website
• To link up with possible clients who talk about your business area e.g. searching for holidaymakers who talk about visiting a specific area of Skye or enjoying a specific activity such as walking or kayaking
• To create a community of like-minded businesses / business owners e.g. a horticultural society

Keeping your twitter stream updated and fresh is important but due to the 140 character limit of messages it is very easy and not at all a burden on anyones busy schedule.

From a personal point of view it can be used to:

• keep in regular contact with friends and family (a bit like sending a text message to all)
• make new friends in your area, who are also on twitter
• keep in touch with news about your hobbies and interests
• get up-to-date news from credible sources

Go look for yourself – registration is easy and doesn’t require you to input lots of personal information.

Our ‘green hosting’ is powered 100% by solar energy – so it is true green hosting rather than carbon offsetting (where CO2 has already been emitted).

We’ve put together a set of website design and hosting packages that we feel offer quality and value for a wide range of budgets and requirements.

Let us know what you think of the new website and our packages:

Following the successful launch of another website we were asked to create a brand new look and feel for a new website. Using WordPress we created a customised look, established basic SEO rules, added a Paypal shopping cart and animated frontpage gallery.

Working with a design and branding agency we advised on the initial design and then created a series of bespoke templates so that the website could be run using a CMS (WordPress). This enabled the client (VI360 – a brand audit company) to update the website themselves with new pages and articles.
