His sponsored swim took place at the new Maghull Leisure Centre and he completed 66 lengths (just over a mile) in 45 minutes. A great achievement after only a few weeks of training I must say!

Tom was interviewed about his sponsored swim on Radio Merseyside by Roger Phillips – the main aim for this was to raise awareness of The Haemophilia Society.

Thanks for the shout out to Webrevolve Tom! Hopefully this will be one of many sponsored events we can support you with whilst you raise awareness for the Society.

Interesting read from the BBC regarding the long-winded battle that continues with Microsoft’s latest card on the table Office 2010.

Microsoft is preparing to launch its latest weapon in its ongoing battle with Google.

The software giant will launch its flagship product Office 2010 to businesses on 12 May.

The latest version of the software has a free online component – called Office Web Apps.

Analysts believe the web offering is a response to Google, which has been encroaching on Microsoft’s core business with its free online tools.

Crucially, Microsoft will also offer its online office suite to all users of one of the world’s most popular social networking sites, Facebook.

Personally i don’t see it catching on as well as Google Docs as it grows from strength to strength. What do you think? Are you in favour of Microsoft? Office or Google Docs? Bing or Google? Answers on a postcard…

At Webrevolve, we always believe in going the extra mile for our clients. We take on board what they want to achieve and what their goals are and make sure we achieve them.

I have always believed that there is very little point in having a website if no one can find it, yes it looks good, yes it’s an online presence, but does it generate business?

The question you need to ask yourself is; does your website get you more business than when you didn’t have a site? If the answer is no then you need a change.

We all know that actions speak louder than words and when it comes to our clients’ proven search engine results this is exactly the case. Here are a few examples of recent clients that approached us to help boost their business, increase traffic via search engines and convert that traffic in to more business:

Here is what they had to say

In order to continue to improve our products and deliver more sophisticated features and performance, we are harnessing some of the latest improvements in web browser technology.  This includes faster JavaScript processing and new standards like HTML5.  As a result, over the course of 2010, we will be phasing out support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 as well as other older browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers.

They then went on to comment on more widely used Apps services such as Docs, Mail and Calendar…

We plan to begin phasing out support of these older browsers on the Google Docs suite and the Google Sites editor on March 1, 2010.  After that point, certain functionality within these applications may have higher latency and may not work correctly in these older browsers. Later in 2010, we will start to phase out support for these browsers for Google Mail and Google Calendar.

Google Apps will continue to support Internet Explorer 7.0 and above, Firefox 3.0 and above, Google Chrome 4.0 and above, and Safari 3.0 and above.

Starting this week, users on these older browsers will see a message in Google Docs and the Google Sites editor explaining this change and asking them to upgrade their browser.  We will also alert you again closer to March 1 to remind you of this change.

In 2009, the Google Apps team delivered more than 100 improvements to enhance your product experience.  We are aiming to beat that in 2010 and continue to deliver the best and most innovative collaboration products for businesses.

Omega FM are a supplier of facilities services working throughout the UK & Ireland. They provide clients with a full range of facility services including cleaning, security, catering, gardening and other addition services. The company has over 490 employees across the country and has offices in Liverpool, Leeds, London, Billingham and Dublin.

We worked with Omega FM to refresh their branding and logo to give the company a more professional image. We then transformed their website to create a showcase for their business so it can be used to show off to potential and current clients and provide information on the services they offer.

Onestop Mobility are a family run business that have been established on the Wirral, Merseyside for 18 years. Whilst being based in Wirral they cover all areas of the Northwest including Liverpool, Chester, Runcorn, Warrington, St Helens, Prescot, Widnes, North Wales and Manchester. The company specialises in stair lift fitting, walk in baths and walk in showers.

We worked with Onestop Mobility to develop their brand and online presence targetted at generating sales and stair lift fitting enquiries. We provided a full logo and branding design service before designing and optimising the Onestop Mobility website for search engines, targetting the services and products that they provide.

Next comes stage 2 of the project which involves an online ecommerce website for Onestop Mobility which deals with online sales of mobility scooters and other mobility products UK wide.

Stayed tuned in the new year for the launch of this new ecommerce website.

With all the hard work we’ve been doing the last year on our clients’ websites, our own pride and joy Webrevolve website has fallen behind. As one client said to us last month:

‘You’re like the decorators who do everyone’s houses immaculate, and your own is a tip!’

We held our hands up and admitted, it was. We first designed the Webrevolve site 3 years ago and it was patched up over the months to add new bits. We simply didn’t have time to give ourselves the amazing look we give all our clients… So, we have decided to make time over the holiday period and redesign our site.

So, may I give you a warm welcome to the new Webrevolve website, along with brand spanking new logo and branding.

Please tell us what you think, we would love to hear your thoughts on the redesign.

And stay tuned to our blog, we’ll be updated regularly with industry news and everything about us including new clients and goings on at the offices.
