The Orbit research website came about because of one of John’s past lives as a Project Manager for a medical imaging company. Orbit were part of the team that were responsible for getting medical images from the mobile MRI and CT trucks around Birmingham via satellite to Budapest and then back to Birmingham and Cardiff. Orbit provided the mobile satellite equipment and the satellite infrastructure. John did stuff like crawl around on the back of unfinished MRI trucks with network cables and set up 12 servers in a week as well train Radiologists in Budapest and Birmingham.
Anyway. Orbit wanted a new website and were referred to Godjira from John’s old employer Pukka-j. Gavin at Orbit wanted more than just a website that sat there and was interested in the marketing methodology that goes with a news driven site.
We have provided Orbit with a WordPress driven site that lets them edit and add as much content as they want. We also split their main product offerings down to three target areas presented on the front splash screen with a bit of funky JavaScript driven image swapping.
Being WordPress, the site is Google focussed and does clever stuff like feed an RSS feed out to populate a Facebook fanpage. We also included the LiveZilla live support software, so now if you want to know anything about Satellite Internet solutions, you can chat live with a genuine bona fide expert in Gavin Foster. We also set up a mailing list based on the RSS feed using FeedBurner.
We really liked working with Orbit. Gavin has some great expressions for common computer issues. Such as user error being “Finger Trouble” and VOIP phones being “scramblers”. We hope to continue the relationship and look forward to helping Orbit with their online marketing for years to come.
