Traffic Generation – Buying Adspace
Posted by David Wiltshire on May, 21st 2008Purchasing adspace can be a great way to get immediate exposure and traffic for your web design, though similar to PPC, I would strongly suggest making sure your site is optimized for sales before laying out a chunk of money. Adspace can be expensive and you want to make sure you get the most bang for your buck!
To find adspace, I would suggest spending time brainstorming where your potential customers hang out on the net, and then contact those sites to see if adspace is an affordable possibility for you.

Rolled acquired by Juno Media
Posted by David Wiltshire on May, 20th 2008I’m pleased to announce that as of the 1st of May, Rolled has been acquired by another local Nottingham web design and development company Juno Media. This acquisition means that we will be able to offer much more financial flexibility for social entrepreneurs that we work with, and help more start-up companies as they seek a web presence that they can be proud of when launching their company online.
Juno will also be implementing a lot of the way Rolled works in its day-to-day routine and management of projects. We will be bringing things like social web app integration, RSS feeds, blogs and open source to Juno as the company looks to expand its client offerings for the future.
All of Rolled’s clients, projects, sites and hosting will be moving over to Juno as part of the move
Client Launch: SHINE unConference
Posted by David Wiltshire on May, 17th 2008Following our success with Eudemonic, Andres Roberts approached us to take on his newest venture in producing the web design for SHINE unConference. Shine unConference is a unConference for social entrepreneurs which took place between the 9th and 11th of May. With six hundred social entrepreneurs attending and a fantastically packed schedule it was an honour to do the site for this event.
The idea of the SHINE unConerence was to help social entrepreneurs with a variety of topics that they face ranging from getting grants to blogging. These sessions were held by partners and anyone who came forward with a good idea for holding one, user’s would then register on-line and then attend sessions on the day. Being completely unrestricted to one session and allowed to drop in and out of anything they wanted to.

New Commenting Policy
Posted by David Wiltshire on May, 2nd 2008This is just a short post to let you all know that as of today March 2nd 2009 i am changing the commenting policy of this news blog.
