We're ready for 2007!

It's been a hectic period - over Christmas we had a huge hard disk crash and lost a lot of data - thankfully we have most of it back, but not all, so apologies to people waiting for replies from us.

A new website (please let us know your thoughts), new pricing, old services with new names, and new staff have all started what looks like an exciting 2007 for NikkiPilkington.com - we hope your 2007 is off to as good a start!

Google Starter Package

Our new Google Starter Package means that rather than having to pay an up front fee, the costs are spread across the contract - priced at just £10 per month per search phrase (subject to acceptance) this is an easily affordable way to dip your toes into the Google waters!

With all the same service as our higher priced Google Packages, it's definitely worth checking out as an intro to our great search engine optimisation services.

Test your website in different browsers

How many times has someone told you "Your site looks a little odd in Firefox" or even worse, that your site doesn't work in their browser when it works perfectly well in yours?

This dinky little tool by Browsershots.org will show you what your site looks like in different browsers - going right back to Internet Explorer 1!

Freebie Live Chat on your website!

If the visitors to your website could possibly need to chat to you real time online rather than wanting to pick up the phone or wait for you to reply to an email, then this is perfect for you.

WebsiteAlive offer a free version of their acclaimed Live Chat software. Signup and implementation is easy and it will be going live on the NikkiPilkington.com website shortly!

Meeting Web Standards.

Have you ever been to a website that just, you know, looked funny?

Maybe there were some pictures in the wrong place - or maybe the words spilled over the box they were supposed to be inside. And you thought - how could someone make a website and leave it half finished like that? Well - maybe they didn't know!

Whenever you look at a web page you are looking at it through your browser - if you use Windows and haven't installed anything else you've probably got Internet Explorer. But there are lots of different browsers - Firefox is becoming more and more popular as a cheap, secure more fun alternative to Internet Explorer People look at the web with Macintosh computers, Linux computers, phones, and their TV. People look at the web with text-only browsers or browsers that read the words aloud for them.
