Design HQ
Posted by Dave Wiltshire on February, 3rd 2012Another busy, nail-biting and exciting week at Juno Web Design, after hundreds of hours of work, this week saw the launch deadline for 3 of the biggest clients we have worked with. Some of us will admit to not having much sleep this week, but that is the dedication our team shows when changing over new websites onto new servers.
Much of the work has been back-end development, but as always design is key to the look and feel of the sites. Once the sites are up and running we can tell you more about the work we completed for these big London brands.
Today we’ve had the pleasure of a client traveling to Nottingham for a design day. We enjoy these type of days, we can really get under the skin of the clients and see what they want. They can also learn about the processes we use and [...]
Quality Management Software – Union Square
Posted by Dave Wiltshire on October, 4th 2011
Throughout every stage in a construction process there has to be an element of quality control and management. If you work in the construction industry, you will know there are so many rules and regulations that go alongside the preparation and physical construction of a building.
By preparing, planning and adhering to documents, quality can be managed throughout the whole process, and documents can be called upon to discuss plans, make any changes, and to back up agreements on the building process.
The amount of documents, which are an integral part of the construction process, are ever increasing. Those documents need to be stored easily and called up at a moment’s notice.
There are a range of Quality Management Software programmes available on the market, which can be installed into construction businesses to allow the safe storage of documents.

Has the Internet helped or harmed journalism?
Posted by Dave Wiltshire on September, 2nd 2011
As technology continues to develop, more and more people are consuming their news online every day, meaning that the internet has become an invaluable tool for journalists. Both broadcasting and print companies are now focussing much more on their online content in order to stay a float, and keep up with the likes of bloggers and social networking sites, which have become very relevant in the world of news. Like with most changes there are both positive and negative implications, and the internet has certainly helped journalism, but it could also be argued that to some extent it has harmed it.
There are a number of positive implications that the internet has had on journalism, for one it provides mass distribution of content, meaning news companies can reach a much larger and diverse audience. Another key benefit of the internet is [...]

[...]University of Whatever Re Design
Posted by Dave Wiltshire on August, 3rd 2010University of whatever is a newly formed clothing Label with great potential. The original website design is incredibly strong visually, but not considered for making sales. We have amended the site design to include simpler navigation for the user, demonstrating some of the product range on the homepage.
We are re – organising the user interface design for the navigation to make browsing and purchase simpler for site visitors. This is tied with a large push by our SEO Company to gain more traffic. The goal being greater traffic though SEO implementation and a higher percentage of conversion to sale per visitor.

Google Banned in Turkey
Posted by Dave Wiltshire on June, 10th 2010
Turkish officials have accidentally banned Google’s ip addresses from their country after their on-going row with the video sharing site YouTube.
According to ‘The Register‘ YouTube hosted videos insulting the republic founder of Turkey and the courts have power to remove any site doing so.
Google owns YouTube and has been heavily critisised for letting these actions happen; YouTube allows anyone to upload a video so many incidences of offensive videos have happened over it’s lifetime. Thousands of videos are uploaded per day on YouTube so it has become impossible to monitor every single one when the factor of costs is considered.
Locals in Turkey cannot access many of Google’s services including Google Translate and Google Docs that are used by many business people to do online jobs. This ‘accident’ could have a knock on effect on Google’s presence in Turkey and will [...]
