Elizabeth Michael Associates

FXRecruiter recruitment website for this large, well established and friendly Nottingham recruitment firm.

“We spent an inordinate amount of time researching and liaising with web design companies prior to instructing Reverse Delta and entrusting them with the design of what many would now consider to be one of their most important tools, if not the most important. I am not given to extolling the virtues of many businesses or indeed individuals, but in the case of Reverse Delta and in particular Dave Haygarth I am more than happy to make an exception.

From the word go he has advised and supported and been a true business partner. His patience, ideas, thought processes and general good humour have all contributed to what is now in my humble opinion an excellent site. It is welcoming aesthetically pleasing has great functionality, but above all manages to portray to the outside world exactly what we as a business are all about.

I am more than happy to recommend Dave and his business unequivocally to any organization considering any form of website improvement.”

[Dave: Shucks.]

EDS Scotland

The first rung on the ladder to online presence, a simple site to showcase the products and services of this rather niche company.  EDS have existed for years on a single homepage with basic contact info.  By building them a well structured website that follows good architecture practice, Google now can start to return search results for EDS, and traffic is coming in in very promising quantities.

Those not familiar with web design probably won’t know that we routinely have to ‘break’ code to make it work in this old browser, yet people still refuse to upgrade — mainly corporates who lock down desktops for fear of security issues. The irony here, of course, is that IE6 is a security vulnerability in itself — as one bright spark once remarked about Windows “its not like theres a load of back doors its more like the back of the house is missing”.

As we previously posted, Google launched “Chrome Frame” back in October 09, which essentially replaces Internet Explorers rendering engine (ie. the main bit inside the window) with a Google Chrome-based replacement. A stealth-like approach if ever there was one.

Next, Google roundly blamed Internet Explorer for the Chinese hackings. The French and German Governments followed this with a warning to their citizens to stop using the old browser. The UK Government did not issue a warning. Microsoft have since released a patch.

Google then announced dropping support for Internet Explorer 6 on its widely used GMail webmail service “this year”.

Yesterday, Google upped the ante by announcing it is dropping support for IE6 on YouTube – its video sharing site.

Our own web stats are showing a startling demise in the use of Internet Explorer in general.

In the last Month:
Firefox – 46%
Internet Explorer – 38%
Safari – 6%
Chrome – 5%

Of the Internet Explorer traffic:
IE8 – 52%
IE7 – 32%
IE6 – 15%

So, farewell IE6 – you won’t be missed.

For those looking for an alternative, try Google Chrome or Firefox.

People (myself included) spend a good deal of their time sitting looking email… increasingly more on web based mail clients. To add social networking / status updates / microblogging / call-it-what-you-will to the main hub of your online experience is at best, genius, or at worst, blaringly obvious.

Still – that’s the beneft of hindsight…

It seems some spammers/hackers are managing to redirect people from legit sites to dodgy online shops selling Windows 7.

Jobsite especially seem to have fallen victim to this attack.

A bit scary. Looking forward to finding out what has happened here — could be very powerful in the wrong hands and totally screw up the search engine indices for everyone.

The Cabinet Office, which oversees the deployment of computers in government, said today that “it doesn’t think the issue [of being open to hacking] would be resolved any better by going elsewhere”.

I’ve been putting this together in my spare time and relying on the kind help of friends with graphic design, Wordpress and CSS skills as years of management have made me rusty! Thanks Dave H and Phil for your patience and help!
