Quo Vadis Restaurant Soho – Web Design

Posted by Dave Wiltshire on November, 21st 2009

We have undertaken a four website project to overhaul the web design brand image for three of the best restaurants in London. Quo Vadis Restaurant and members club soho, the acclaimed Tapas restaurant Fino, and Barrafina the throbbing Tapas restaurant. Within this project we are also redesigning Hambleton Hall, one of the finest Hotels in the UK. It is a really exiting project for us and we are looking not only to improve the visuals for the site but also build in high performance features to improve the search engine capability of the sites. Of course the design will include strong call to action to convert high levels of traffic to business.

We designed the websites for the group some years back, but with the relentless evolution of the web it is now time to revisit the sites and bring them up to date. All the websites will [...]

Cloud Computing, Part III

Posted by Beth Still on November, 9th 2009

As discussed in my previous articles, cloud computing is a system in which software programs and storage space can be accessed via the Internet. It can be used for hosting, thus eliminating the need for personal hosting services which can bog down. If you put your web design on a cloud server, you have instant access to computing power. As your needs grow, you can ramp up; as it ebbs, you release the servers back to the cloud.

There are several advantages to cloud computing:

• Scalability – easy to grow or shrink with demand
• Instantly available
• Save money – pay only for what you use
• No hardware to deal with

How it works:

Cloud computing involves surrendering control, which some people find liberating while it makes others very nervous. For instance, users of a site like Salesforce.com don’t know or care how the site is executed, how [...]

Cloud Computing – Concerns and Issues

Posted by Beth Still on November, 3rd 2009

As I discussed in my last article on cloud computing, it is being called the Next Big Thing in web design, and it is steadily gaining ground in the business world. There is a lot of enthusiasm for this new frontier, but naturally there are many concerns among the “experts”.

The main concerns about cloud computing are security and privacy. The thought of handing your important data over to something called a “cloud” can be daunting. Nervous corporate executives might hesitate to take advantage of a cloud computing system because they feel like they’re surrendering control of their company’s information. Data inside the ‘cloud’ is outside a company’s firewall and that brings with it an intrinsic threat of risk, because services that companies outsource evade the physical, logical and personnel controls that I.T. shops wield over data maintained in-house. Other fears include:

• Risk of [...]

Cloud Computing – Usage and Advantages

Posted by Beth Still on November, 3rd 2009

Cloud Computing has been called the Next Big Thing in web design, but just what is cloud computing? Very simply, it is a system whereby software programs and storage space can be accessed via the Internet. This allows companies to outsource the ownership and management of certain areas of its IT functionality (storage, mail room, fleet services, etc.) to a “black box” within the cloud. They probably don’t know what software or hardware is being used or what operating system it is running on, nor do they need to. This article discusses the usage and advantages of cloud computing.

Cloud computing evolved from the knowledge and experience of managed services, Internet services, application service providers, etc. Its technology is the result of a paradigm shift and is improving business computing because: (1) it is modular, compartmentalizing software applications and associated hardware and infrastructure; [...]
