Worrying downward trend of high street retail
The news that hmv has called in the administrators follows the untimely demise of Comet and Jessops.
I remember the 80s for many things but the multi format wars of records and CDs and an ability to have my favourite song in a picture disc or posterbag was a highlight. A highlight that used to drive collectors down to their local HMV (or Bradley’s or virgin megastore)
Everyone can remember the various incarnations of the Frankie goes to Hollywood singles
that drove collectors to these stores and.undoubtedly drove sales and footfall t0 these stores, the subsequent decision by chart compilers to restrict choice by excluding multiple formats in the charts, had an ill thought side effect of restricting sales, whilst not suggesting there was a conspiracy the record companies should have thought this through properly.
Whilst it’s never been a better time to have an online presence I hope that retail high street stores will survive this awkward downturn.

Maintenance Modules added
Maintenance Modules.
Maintenance on any site is an important factor and we would consider it imperative for any site owner. Whether its a major corporation like Sony or Amazon or Government sites like the CIA everyone is at risk of being hacked or having their website vandalised by someone with the time and skills to do so. What Maintenance Module will do for you is help ensure you are as prepared as possible. Maintenance includes
– a sweep of your hosting to ensure no nasty files are lurking ready to hijack your files.
– your site has the latest version of the files on your site so any vulnerabilities have been detected and replaced.
– a scan to ensure nothing it lurking that could potentially cause damage to your site
– Three packages we do a basic maintenance procedure which we recommend is carried out bi-monthly at the least. we offer another version which installs a backup system so your files are retrievable if the worst was to happen. We also offer a repair service if the worst happens and you want to get your site back to where it was

Questions:

EVERY website is at risk of being hacked and sadly thats a fact. The best thing you can do is ensure you have the tools in place to ensure you can fight against this should it occur
the New EU Cookie law
Can We Help You?
Last year, the European Union passed new online privacy regulations that stated all websites across the EU must obtain users permission before storing cookies. Previous laws relating to online privacy stated that website owners must tell people how they used cookies, and explain how to ‘opt out’ if users wanted to do so. However, new rules say that cookies can only be placed on machines where the user or subscriber has given their consent. The only exception to the new rule is for ‘strictly necessary’ cases, such as remembering what a customer added to their shopping cart after they have hit ‘proceed to check out.’
if you have an existing website and want to ensure you are legally compliant then please get in touch as we would be happy to help. We can make your site compliant for the best price

St Josephs School – New Website Progress
As we await final documents needed to bring the site to launch date, I thought it was time to give a case study into our thoughts into building the website for the school.
From the outset it was clear that this will be a site with a lot of documents and the need to be able to edit those.
We have created a website which sits nicely with the blue and yellow colour scheme for the school, but also gives the functionality needed for document control with the layout being completed in a structured way so information is easy to find.
The site will have multiple log ins (all secured by double-pass back end security) to enable administrative assistants, teachers and pupils alike the tiered access to enable them to control their pages and posts as and when they need.
Overall the site will give the school the chance to cascade information and messages as quickly as possible to the outside world.
