Coul House Hotel is a country house hotel with a vey high emphasis on customer satisfaction, which they wanted to reflect on their web site. We produced a rustic-coloured design and used professional photography to grab the feel of the hotel throughout the site.We specified a content management console so the hotel could regularly change content on their site.
Six years at the top
Argathnie is a small bed and breakfast in the heart of Nairn. They came to us after poor results from their previous web site. We redesigned a new product which reflected the comfort of their estalishment and improved their enquiries-to-bookings ratio. We have maintained their position on the front page of all major search engines for the last six years.
More business from a simple site
Richard Hyman is a leading specialist in edible wild mushrooms. Most of his contacts comes through the internet. We devised a simple, generic online business name for his company which led clients to contact him by email or phone. The search engine ranking his site generated has led to increased business from new clients.
Firefox 3 is still in beta, but I’m very impressed with it. It’s very fast and I can see it having a huge uptake in the firefox using community and convertng even more disgruntled IE users.
So twhat does that mean to Canary Dwarf. Firefox in beta, IE8 in the pipeline, and mobile browsers coming on in leaps and bounds. We will take a very strong interest in Firefox 3 and we have officially added it to our list. We now develop for Internet Explorer 6 and 7, Firefox 2 and 3, Opera 9, and Safari 3 on Windows and Internet Explorer 5, Safari 2 and 3, Firefox 2 and 3 on Mac OS X. All other browsers are catered for by negotiation.
That doesn’t mean we’ve left the others out though.
Once again, we have had a client come to us because they can’t get their web site updated. Their web designer has gone AWOL. Not only that, they registered the clients domain name as their own.
This is bad practice. Web site owners need to know that when theings go wrong, they stil hve control over their domain name. Web designers do this to maintain some kind of freaky control over their clients, but invariably, the firms that do this are those which end up disappearing overnight and leaving the poor clients in the lurch. If you let your web designer register a domain name, make sure you make it clear that you want it registered in your name and address.
At least then, when things go wrong, you are in a position to be able to go to nominet and get it moved.
