Duffle Coats UK – New Web Design Graphics
Posted by Dave Wiltshire on July, 30th 2010Believe it or not the start of the duffle coat season has just begun this year in mid July!
Our clients DuffleCoatsUK.co.uk are now in position for every “Duffle” related keyword on Google thanks to the continued hard work of our SEO team. The Duffle Coat manufactures are set for a massive influx of customers this Autumn and Winter so Juno have updated the web design to improve conversion rates.
Below is the old design graphics:
There were many dark themes surrounding the old design and the main image was park of a 300kb+ Flash file that would take several seconds to load on some internet connections.
The first image that showed was one of a woman and we believe that this hampered sales of men’s duffle coats as they may have thought the site was just [...]
Clothing photography for ecommerce, on a budget
Posted by Dave Wiltshire on July, 28th 2010Quality photography for your ecommerce shop is vital as it is where the sale is made. Your product must look quality and it is an important factor for conversion to sale. Juno Web Design use a great photography studio for most o our product shoots, but for a client we are working with at the moment the budget isnt there. True to form we have sourced a possible solution to gain the same photography at a lower cost.
An ingenious local photographer called Jack has carried out thorough research and devised a frankensteins monster of a platform with which we may gain a similar standard for a quarter of the price. If it works fantastic, we will use it…. there is no harm in trying.
Here is a preview of the rough outline.
Positive Results From Juno’s New Design
Posted by Dave Wiltshire on July, 20th 2010We recently updated our website to reflect Juno’s maturity as Nottingham’s #1 web design team.
The old site design had many elements ‘bolted’ on over time making it dis-jointed and unclear what our focus was. When we delved into the world of conversion optimisation we were alerted to the fact that the old design had a negative colour scheme and key areas of our site were hard to reach such as our impressive portfolio page.
Here is an image of the old design:
The new design focuses on our key client base showcasing websites we have built in the past, Magento ecommerce platforms we can produce and the incredible results achieved by the SEO team.
Another prominent feature of the new design is the contact information, naturally we want to make it as easy as possible [...]

[...]Peter Shalson Biography
Posted by Dave Wiltshire on July, 6th 2010
Peter Shalson left Hendon County School at just 16, like many other successful UK business men he started out within the sales industry and his business sense escalated from there.
At 52 Shalson is one of the UK’s most experienced entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and business investors. He first sold encyclopaedias, door to door, to save enough money for his first car.

WordPress SEO Advantages
Posted by Dave Wiltshire on July, 2nd 2010
Juno have recently made it their policy that any site they build or manage from July 2010 onwards must contain a WordPress or Joomla blog.
WordPress is our favourite blogging software as it’s so easy to use, flexible in it’s design, has lots of great plugins and is perfect for SEO.
Anyone can add content (by posting) or edit pages of their website once WordPress has been set up correctly; Juno gives their clients the opportunity to run their own website themselves. Some web design companies charge extortionate rates for small changes to a site such as updating a menu or a adding in a special offer.
When you create a new post on WordPress Juno ensure that these things occur:
A new page is created which Google can index
The search engines are ‘pinged’ about the new post so [...]
