Today I came across another business that had their website developed using a bespoke platform (CMS) with .NET programming, created by developers based in Amsterdam. The fact that the developers are in Amsterdam isn’t helpful, however, that isn’t the biggest issue here, their building of a bespoke CMS using .NET is certainly more of an issue, as very few developers use it.

Recently we created a blog about how to increase the click through rate on your organic search engine listings. It highlighted the important role of your page title and meta description. It explained the need to make both title and descriptions enticing and not just stuffed with keywords.

Clearly this report focuses on young people but Social Media has been around for some time now, Facebook was founded in 2004, therefore it shows the trend is amongst all age groups. I come across many people suggesting that their business isn't social and therefore not suitable for social media. I would of course disagree, even if you are a firm of accountants, I'm confident that the vast majority of their clients will be on Facebook, therefore why not build the relationship further on Facebook?

It would seem like fairly obvious advice to get a few specific quotes when investing significant funds. Most people do when looking for a new provider. However, this isn't always the case when businesses place an order through an existing provider. This was highlighted when I was told by a client that they   £10k to make their eCommerce website mobile responsive. If they had just double checked with other web developers in the area they would have found that this quote was much more than what they should have paid.
