We're never too old to learn new tricks and better ourselves... So I'm delighted to have completed the Hubspot content marketing course. I continually take courses, seminars, webinars and research to ensure that I keep up to date with online practices and consolidate what I know. In turn this knowledge is passed on to my clients to ensure that their products and online portfolio contains the best content that can be written with the best chances of it being found by the righ

A lot of my customers ask me if I ‘do SEO’ and whether I can help them ‘get to the top of Google’. It would be wonderful if I could simply say ‘yes and yes!’ However, the process of optimising websites for search engines is quite a bit more involved than this. Just to add to the deluge of advice that is available online you will also find that if you seek advice from several SEO ‘experts’ you will probably end up with different opinions from all of them. I feel your pain! Th

This should be a refreshing change for some of you small business owners out there because I want you to understand that you can get something for nothing online. As business owners (myself included) we all want to be able to promote our products and services to the right market without the requirement of spending our life savings in the process. How do we do this? We LEVERAGE the internet. I’ve seen some amazing and often hilarious quotes from marketing companies asking fo

From the Daily Mail website article , you might be surprised how we spend our days. What we do can, of course, have an impact on what we should be doing or want to do. I had a look at some examples of how we spend our lives and found out that it gave a solid reason for why you should be asking us to manage your digital portfolio. Let’s consider one week of your life. 168 hours. 10,080 minutes. The article starts of by suggesting that we spend an average of about 50 minut

Your logo is part of the brand of your business. Part of it’s personality. Your logo should be an eye catching and appropriate graphic that sends the right message to your market. We recommend that you get an ACUTE logo designed. A adaptable C catchy U uncomplicated T targeted E enduring ADAPTABLE You should visualise your logo in as many different formats as you think necessary. Your logo should be adaptable enough for a business card, vehicle signage, website, print ad

I'm only 40 but I still say ' times have changed a lot since I was young '! About 12 years ago I was working with a large newspaper company. At that time these companies were moving towards a digital world as the print industry (newspapers) was declining. Businesses were moving towards digital media to promote themselves and the newspaper companies had to keep up. In the last 10 years I have seen a change in advertising and marketing that is more radical than changes in soc

Not every website design company is the same. There are many out there and choosing the right one can be difficult, especially for a new business or if you have little or no knowledge of the digital world. To make your job a bit easier, here are 10 reason why Full Circle Website Design should be your first and only choice: 1. WE BUILD PROFESSIONAL WEBSITES There are plenty of sites where you can download a ready-made template and put a website together yourself. Templates

We continue our birthday celebrations here in the Full Circle office by adding some more special offers to our current ones. Check this out: It makes sense to us to pass on that which has helped us to grow throughout our first year; a proud sense of branding with a clear message to our audience. To be seen in any market (and to stay in the minds of our potential clients) we need to be consistent in approach and message. This is why we are offering some FREE products for a

It's our birthday! Full Circle Website Design is now officially one year old and we are very chuffed about it too, thank you very much! Don't be fooled by our youthful exuberance and fresh business face though: we carry many years of tried and tested experience on our shoulders despite our apparent youth! One thing is certain on birthdays and anniversaries though: presents. It seemed that when I worked in offices it would be the unwritten rule that the person who owns the

In our previous post I wrote about how we undertake regular training to maintain high standards in the products that we offer and the services that we provide. So in the spirit of this here is another one: Our head designer Adam was recognised by Google as having completed the fundamentals of online marketing. #websitedesigner #websitedesign #digitalmarketing #marketing #onlinepromotion #onlinemarketing #SEO #seoforwebsites #getseenonline #FCWD #businessmotivation #qualifi

Here at Full Circle we are constantly striving to maintain high standards. Becoming a website designer is not a 'one size fits all' qualification: systems change. Expectations change. Technology evolves. So we make sure we are constantly training and keeping up to date with industry standards and progressions. Since our inception we have produced plenty of websites using the Wix platform. Although we don't use existing templates (everything we design is 100% bespoke) Wix

Point of difference. Unique selling point. Call it what you will. The question here remains the same: as a paying customer, why should I choose YOUR business over the myriad of other professionals out there who offer the same thing? What do you do so differently that will make me book that appointment, buy that product or sign on the dotted line? In the competitive world of business this is a fundamental question that you should be asking yourself not just once but every da

You run a business. It was a dream come true for you when it happened: you could finally be your own boss and throw yourself into something that you love doing. You wake up in the morning positive and looking forward to the productive day ahead. Those of us who run our own businesses can probably relate to this opening paragraph. Whether you are a plumber, book keeper, shop owner or any other trade it is possible that part of your plan did not involve spending hour on end hu

OK so you have a website.Maybe you had it designed fairly recently or maybe you have had it for a while. Either way you want to be seen. NOW! So why is it that every time you speak with your clients or colleagues they can never find your website online? Hide and seek is only fun when both parties actually want to play... I once heard an analogy that is fitting for this article: Having an awesome website is like having the best shop window display around. When people pass

Having a website is great. It means you have a 'shop' that is 'open' 24 hours a day and 7 days per week. This is great but only if your website is up to date and relevant for your business. I looked online today at a business with whom I used to work and their most recent article on their news page was from 2009! Clearly that website needs updating. You won't earn any brownie points with Google either for being out of date and stagnant. In fact, a website that has been left

What a minefield. Websites. The internet. The interweb. There are many small businesses out there some of which have websites and some of which do not. For those that do there will be some who have awesome, interactive, totally clever sites that look beautiful, load quickly and do everything the owner needs. There will be some that are just OK and do the job but could really do with some TLC. There will also be some which are, quite frankly, trying to punch above their wei
