South˚ wins an open pitch to deliver new site for Kestrel Worldcom.
Despite having a lot of experience selling websites Kestrel Worldcom had neglected their own in the process. A makeover was badly needed and we were appointed to deliver the solution.
The new website has been created with more interactivity including a blog style ‘news [...]
We have a reasonable sized ‘green area’ to the rear of our house. I hesitate to call it a “lawn” as we also have 3 large dogs, 2 of which enjoy digging. It’s probably not that surprising then, that turning this patch into a beautifully manicured ‘bowling green’ is an unlikely target.
Over the last three [...]
The modern Post Office is a perfect example of how not to run a business. They’re trying to be all things to all men, and failing dismally to ‘deliver’ (pun intended).
I’ve just wasted the last 15 minutes of my life in a Post Office queue. My fellow ‘wasters’ were either paying money in, getting foreign [...]
This may to some seem like a basic business principal, but I am seeing more and more marketing and advertising which are nothing but hollow boasts. It’s time that SME’s embraced the fact no one is interested in them or their products alone. They must start to sell on the benefits they offer their clients [...]

Some of my fellow (read: older) contributors may remember when Jack Cohen first got involved in groceries, or the [...]
The baby boomers. Us lot. Well, okay, anyone over the age of 40 who’s reading this then. We haven’t seen it all, but we have seen a lot. The world has changed vastly since the three day week, power cuts and Golden Nuggets cereal. Although I’m pleased to see Klondike Pete making a comeback in [...]
Well that optimism might have worked out nicely for Kevin Costner in his 1989 film “Field of Dreams” but if your website is hoping to attract other baby-boomers then you’d better make sure you pay a little more attention to detail.
Long gone are the days when the ’silver surfers’ were a minority demographic, in fact [...]
The answer’s simple – Do it yourself! Every penny counts in times like these, so why pay your design company a small fortune to upload new content, when instead you could simply do it yourself using a custom built Content Managed System (CMS).
CMS driven sites allow you to take control of the management of your [...]
