  • SUNGLASSES SAVE JOINS MAUI JIM to promote UV eye protection worldwide

    Posted by Dave Wiltshire in web design on the 12th of March 2010

    It’s about that time of year again, where all of the snow and ice will be melting, the trees will begin to produce fresh green leaves and temperatures will start to rise. Birds will chirp, flowers will bloom and as we all head outside to enjoy this time, our friend the sun will reappear. That’s right, SUMMERTIME!

    As beautiful as it may be, summertime does come with some dangers. With the ever increasing threat of global warming, the world has been experiencing higher than average temperatures and people are being exposed to more Ultra Violet rays than ever! The growing population and increase in mass consumption is destroying our ozone layer which is the only natural protection people have from these harmful, cancer causing rays. The increase in Ultra Violet ray strength also interferes with the way we as humans are able to see and perceive our surroundings and our world. Glare and distortion are on the rise. Not only are the suns rays stronger and more dangerous than ever, but the average time spent outdoors has increased dramatically over the years as well, further increasing the inherent danger of Ultra Violet exposure.

    Maui Jim is THE leading sunglass company that specializes in combating the dangers of Ultra Violet radiation. Maui Jim sunglasses are the fastest growing, polarized sunglass company in the entire world! Maui Jim sunglasses are different than most in that they have a double attack against the harmful affects of the suns poisonous Ultra Violet rays.

    Persol Sunglasses is a tough search term and one that we have just achieved page one position for our client Sunglasses Save. We are targeting several 30 or so search phrases for Sunglasses save including several of the brands they stock.

    We are currently adapting the web design to convert to sale better (conversion) and altogether run faster and provide an improved customer experience.

As well as achieving top spots for several search phrases we are also optimising for the big one ‘sunglasses‘ and are making steady progress, the site as a whole is becoming stronger across the board.

    Here is the original concept provided by another designer

  • Adding PDF Links to WordPress Posts and Pages

    Posted by Aaron Keenan in wordpress web design on the 8th of February 2010

    Linking to a pdf can, in many cases, be a very convenient way to add content to your site. We often find that clients will want to add menus, brochures, instructions etc. that may be most effectively viewed, shared or printed in pdf format. Uploading a pdf and adding a link in your site’s content so that visitors can download this document is all possible through the standard WordPress admin options.

    upload insert Adding PDF Links to WordPress Posts and Pages

    When you are editing a page or post in the WordPress admin, there are a group of four options above the main edit window labelled ‘Upload/Insert’. The first is for uploading and managing images, the second for video, the third for audio and the fourth for other media (text files, pdfs etc.). If you select the fourth option (named ‘Add Media’) you will then open a pop up window where you can upload the pdf. Once the file has finished uploading, you will have a choice of options. Selecting ‘Insert into Post’ (as you would with an image) will not work here – it only inserts the document’s title into the body content of the page or post. To insert a link to the pdf, rather, you can first select the ‘File URL’ option. Doing so will cause the file’s link location to be displayed in the ‘Link URL’ field. You can then copy this url to your clipboard and exit the pop up box.

    Next enter the text that you will use as the selectable link text in the content of the page or post. Click and drag over this text to select it. Once you have selected the text, the link button will become accessible. You can click this to bring up another pop up box where you are able to paste the url for the pdf that you had previously copied. You will finally need to click ‘Insert’ to add the link.

  • Cloud Computing, Part III

    Posted by Beth Still in web industry news on the 9th of November 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 it deals with failures, where it is located, or any of the other little details one has to deal with when running business operations. So what DO they want? They want their service to work when they need it.

    The potential uses of cloud computing are infinite. If you utilize the correct middleware, you can hand off all of your programming needs to a cloud computing system. Literally, everything from basic word processing software to customized computer programs designed for a specific company can work on a cloud computing system.

    Cloud computing is a metered service similar to a public utility like cable, cell phone networks, electricity, water, and natural gas. It allows a computing system to attain and release computing resources on demand. Cloud computing also allows the deployment of software applications into an environment running the necessary technology stack for development, staging, or production of a software application. It manages this while minimizing the necessary interaction with the underlying layers of the technology stack.

    There are three distinct sub-areas of cloud computing. They are IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, which are discussed here.

    Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS):

    With IaaS clouds, it becomes simple and affordable to distribute resources such as servers, connections, storage, and any other tools necessary to build an application environment from scratch. In other words, rather than purchasing servers, software, data center space or network equipment, clients instead buy those resources as a fully outsourced service. IaaS clouds are the core infrastructure of PaaS and SaaS clouds.

    Platform as a Service (PaaS):

    PaaS clouds are designed to deliver a cost-effective cloud-based workspace environment (hardware architecture or software framework). They allow a company to deploy applications without the costs and complexities of buying and managing the essential hardware and software.

    Software as a Service (SaaS):

    Software as a Service has been around for a while and even precedes the term “Cloud Computing”. It is basically a cost effective way for businesses to acquire rights to use software as needed without having to buy licenses for all users and applications. With SaaS, a provider licenses an application to customers for use as a service on demand.

    Recently Cisco Systems, EMC, and VMware announced that they are teaming up to sell hardware and software for cloud computing. The three companies are creating something they call the Virtual Computing Environment Coalition “to accelerate customers’ ability to increase business agility through greater IT infrastructure flexibility, and lower IT, energy and real-estate costs through pervasive data center virtualization and a transition to private cloud infrastructures.” With advocates like these, it looks like cloud computing is here to stay.

  • Cloud Computing – Concerns and Issues

    Posted by Beth Still in web industry news on the 3rd of November 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 data breaching
    • Appeal to cyber crooks
    • Lack of specific standards for security and data privacy
    • Questions about jurisdiction. European concern about U.S. privacy laws led to creation of the U.S. Safe Harbor Privacy Principles, which are intended to provide European companies with a degree of insulation from U.S. laws
    • Data location. Cloud users probably do not know exactly where their data is hosted—not even the specific country

    • Best practice issues:
    o Exception monitoring systems
    o Vigilance, or lack thereof, over updates and ensuring that staff does not receive unauthorized access privileges
    o Third-party companies who may be able to access data
    o Password creation and protection
    o Availability guarantees and penalties
    o Accommodation of personal security policies by the cloud computing company

    Other issues with cloud computing are more philosophical. Who owns the data: the company who places their data with the cloud computing service or the cloud computing service itself? Can a cloud computing company ever legally deny a client access to their own data? Companies, law firms, and universities are currently debating these issues and others.

    There is also growing concern about how cloud computing could impact the business of computer maintenance and repair. If companies make the leap to centralized computer systems, they will have less need for internal I.T. support. By removing infrastructure ownership from I.T., suddenly I.T. no longer has control over key business resources, which makes it feasible for someone concerned with a cost/benefit approach, like a CFO, to start limiting I.T.’s control. It is doubtful that this will have much of an impact on the cloud computing industry; the same concerns were no doubt raised when inventions like the cotton gin, assembly lines, and, well, computers first appeared.
