OKCOOL

What does a slick new champagne bar and a large wine and food festival in Bristol have in common?

We’ve spent so much time pretending that we really are cool with this music industry lark that we’ve forgotten to mention the other stuff that is happening around here at the moment. SimpleWeb has some cool things afoot and we’re getting ready to test them.

We’ve had a few posts on ok cool about SimpleWeb and I’ve been asked a few times what’s it all about, so here goes.

I’m pleased to say we have just put live the new web site for the Best Western Burns Hotel which is located in Kensington London near to Earls court.

We’re pleased to have put live the new web site for Simon Bunker’s company Samba Consulting.

You’ve got a great website and now we need to get people to go to it; the old adage of “Build it and they will come” isn’t strictly true as if nobody knows that your website exists it won’t do you a lot of good. There are many ways to get people to your website, some obvious, some not quite so. There are a multitude of companies that specialise in “SEO” or search engine optimisation, whilst many do seem to work some kind of virtual voodoo the majority just follow a few simple steps that with a small investment of time we can do too.

I’m a bit funny when it comes to semantic markup. I really don’t like putting visual cues into the markup that I may want to change later. You know those little symbols that we put at the end or beginning of a sentence, that we sometimes no longer use as literary symbols.
