Interesting Things
One of our core values (if you like) is that we like doing “Interesting Things on the Internet”.
So, what on earth do we mean by that? Well the Internet and the World Wide Web are ever changing. The last couple of years (and it really is that short a timeframe) have seen the rise of social media. The prime movers being Facebook and Twitter. Because of these sites, we think that what people are looking for from the Internet has changed. No-one wants to read a boring old corporate brochure any more. The things people are interested in these days are People and Stories.
So what we encourage our customers to do is to make sure they have a nice little biography with a photo for everyone working for them. (Yes we need one here too) . We also encourage them to post up regular case studies. Case studies tell the world what you do in a neat little story. Normally when you tell someone what you do, their eyes glaze over and you end up repeating some boilerplate bull excrement. If you tell them a story, you capture their attention more and it also explains what you do and how you do it in terms your reader or listener can actually understand.
So we are excited and interested in Social Media. We have packages for Twitter, Facebook and very shortly for blogging. We are also very technical. The technical aspect of websites doesn’t put us off at all. Our normal reaction is that “if you can say it out loud, it can be done”. We’ve put together complex database driven website using off the shelf packages like ZenCart, WordPress, Joomla and OpenRealty. We’ve done shops, directory listings, classified adverts, estate agents, blogs, news driven sites and more. If you want us to, we can design and build enterprise class applications or give you enough project management and consultancy to tell you if a thing can be done and how.
