NISCO Announcements
News and information about NISCO Holdings S.L.
We have now added 500 templates (most of them with a choice of three or more colours to the Site Builder). Head over to www.my-free-website.co.uk and play around with it! It doesn't cost anything to build your site and it knocks spots off the GBBO campaign!
If you decide to publish it just let us know and we'll create a hosting account for you. Remember, it's just £120 + VAT a year (which includes a .co.uk domain name and an email account).
We are delighted to announce the launch of www.animalwelfareandrescue.org.uk. This site has been provided free of charge under our Community Spaces program and will expand as the charity increases it's reach around the world. For now, they have a presence and email accounts.
Our telemarketing team are reporting back that a few local developers (not companies - just idiots working from home) are giving "free" websites to businesses in the North East. We found MANY problems with their service offerings including:
1. No XHTML/CSS standards designs - all built with old HTML (which mostly failed even those less stringent requirements).
2. Very poor design and no client branding at all.
3. Domain names registered to the developer - NOT the client.
4. Non search engine friendly content.
5. Very expensive hosting - £20 per Mb per month in some cases!
So - here's my challenge. If you WANT a...
Telemarketing isn't for everyone. Michelle recently decided that telemarketing isn't the job for her and said that she would prefer an admin role. Therefore, we have moved Michelle from telemarketing into a role which combines our office administration and PA functions into one. We value her contribution to the business and we are keen to keep her in her new role - she will be responsible for devising our office admin systems (something I've negelected as the development work has increased!) and will then move into a role where she supports me (managing diaries etc) and provides a first point...
Apple Kitchens recently moved to our network and we are pleased that Apple North East (the division of their business that builds conservatories, sun rooms, garage conversions, and provides block paving) have also moved to us.
We have now completed their new site at www.applenortheast.co.uk and both of their sites will be optimised for search engines in the new couple of weeks.
We are delighted to announce the launch of a new web site for Apple Kitchens North East. The client supplies kitchens and bathrooms in the North East and has been established since 2005; they had an old site with dated branding and a tired look which simply was not performing in line with their expectations.
We downloaded all the content from their old site and merged it into a fresh new template before adding our new Foundation Framework code. Taking advantage of the new AJAX uploading system in our new Control Panel we were able to build their galleries in a...
We are now an approved provider which means that clients being funded by Business Link may be able to obtain grants for web development work. Being on the NEESPR is a mark of our professionalism - they have reviewed our performance by speaking to our customers, confirmed that we have Professional Indemnity, Public Liability, Employers Liability Insurance and all the other paperwork a real company must have in order to trade.
If you need more information please ask us.
Phil Miller is joining as a trainee developer within our Commercial Development Team - he currently has a good solid knowledge of HTML but we will be training him in the following areas:
XHTML
CSS
Accessibility
Our Foundation Framework
Ultimately, Phil will be moving into our Systems Development Team but in the short term he will be working with Louise Rising (Head of Design Services) and delivering scores of web sites for our clients every month.
Phil will be working at HQ for two days a week and from home...
Sorry - been too busy this week to provide updates on new clients or even update www.webmerized.co.uk (our portfolio) with new sites we've finished this week. I *will* get around to it next week and I've tasked our Design Team with putting together a new site on Webmerized and updating our corporate site - same old story, we are so busy with client projects that we never get time to update our own!
HD Financial Solutions are moving their web site to our platform to solve problems created by their present hosts. The first stage is to move their existing site to our network, transfer their domain to us, and fix the enquiry forms - all of which was done within 24 hours of receiving instructions from the client. Next, we will fix missing page problems by adding our own error handling modules for 404 errors. Then, we will rebuild the site on our Foundation Framework and implement an SEO solution. This project will involve our Design and Commercial Development (ComDev) Team as...
