Worrying downward trend of high street retail

Posted on by

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.

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.’

St Josephs School – New Website Progress

Posted on by

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.
