Ideas Man - Web Design & Marketing Apps North Wales
Blog of a North Wales Web Designer
Talk about Colwyn Bay… last week I was asked to speak at the Bay of Colwyn Business Network launch and about the Best of the Bay website (all about the best of business in Colwyn Bay).
The event went vey well you can read more about it here. For those we missed the event you can catch some of the content on the new Interview website “The Talkies“. Teresa Carnel from TBC Marketing talks about word of mouth marketing and Paul Levy talks about the Best of the Bay site.

Honda Outboard Engine
Honda are arguably the best engine manufacturer in the world. The web marketing that supports this is perhaps not as prominent as is should be for such a prestigious manufacturer. After all when you make some of the best and most technologically advanced engines for the automotive, ATV, garden and marine (Honda Outboards) industries, the expertise shown at the customers end can be somewhat less than the product deserves. We are undertaking an initiative along with an Official Honda Marine Dealer in North Wales.
product minisite example
I have to say the minisite system is really coming together at the moment in many respects -
from the design point of view, we currently have a design for a hairdressers coming together really nicely and also a holidy rentals on Anglesey site. Both these sites are running on what we call minisite “Template Great!”.
a simple pure SEO minisite went up today for Berts Tools. This site is to support an existing online shop, the shop was initially very poorly optimised and in spite of the shopping cart application not really giving us sufficient control( )we have managed to do a half decent job. Proof of the pudding will be some sort of increase in the number of web orders for Power Tools and Hand Tools coming in.
a product minisite has been put together for the Paris Caravan, this is a special product put together for Marine Holiday Park in Rhyl near Towyn in North Wales.
get linked - go higher
Ok the scenario is as follows, you have an old website, maybe you have done a rebranding exercise and changed the name of the company and so the web address. There are two possibilities…
a) Set up a landing page which redirects to the new web address
b) Set up a special type of redirect called a 301 redirect. This type of redirect gives proper credit by search engines such as Google for any “Pagerank” or standing that the old page had.
We have to do these types of redirections very often, in fact we have just done it for our old Live Solutions site, we rebranded a few years ago and left the site up as it was still ranking well with Google for relevant search terms. Have a look how we linked the old to the new at www.livesolutions.co.uk .
