As a technology company we love to look forward to all the new exciting things happening in 2012 but as a business it’s important to reflect on the year that has passed. 2011 has been a great year for Wysi in many respects and we thank our clients for their support and custom. It’s been a year of growth and maturity which has allowed us to plan very positively for 2012. 2011 hasn’t been without its problems and new challenges but we’re very pleased to see we’ve risen to the challenges and are stronger as a result.
It’s very easy to ignore the good bits so I’d like to mention a few wins of 2011. We won Newbury Showground (NDAS) as a client back in April and they have recorded great results since having the new site. At the same time we also won a project with Chatham House (ECRAN) and worked closely with one of our partners to deliver that within 2 weeks! We aim to launch our full portfolio early next year to show all our other work

Applying the essential principles of good web design discussed below can help improve the performance of your website achieve its objectives.
Essential principles of good web design are important to turn your website into a powerful marketing tool. There is more to good web design than well-crafted content and an attractive web design. Factors such as usability, navigation and correct brand representation are equally important.
1. Correct use of White Space
White space is a general design term used to describe empty space on a web page. Web designers use white space effectively on websites to reduce clutter and improve readability. Use of white space also allows designers to strike a balance between different elements on a web page. In general it is recommended to provide sufficient white space between functional elements on a web page. In addition appropriate line spacing should be provided between text. Line –spacing on websites should be at least 1 and &fr

When browsing the internet day in day out, we always come across websites that really need to be introduced to 2011. So we came up with an idea: we are conducting free Wysi website M.O.T’s to show you any problems that may exist with your website and how they can be fixed.
If you’ve received an email from us you’re probably wondering why you haven’t passed your Wysi website M.O.T... Well here are some possible reasons:
1. Your website is outdated... on average a website has a life span of 2 and half years and it’s extremely important to stay ahead of the competition. Such as following trends and having a strong online presence.
2. It’s very difficult to find you when searching through search engines (/_bpost_2537/SEO_is_either_a_complete_waste_of_money,_too_costly,_or_free)... unfortunately your website was not found when looking on google for your products/services. A potential sale missed out on, actually not just 1 po

Make 2011 a year of change and improvement; yes, you really can do it and it doesn't cost a fortune either.
Perhaps you've had a website for a few years now, but what does it actually do? Does it earn its keep ('wash its face', as they say)? Is it just a liability? Do you regard your website as just another thing you have to pay out for every year? Haven't got time? Don't know how to change it?
If the answer to even just one of the above is yes, something is wrong. Your website should be the most important and valuable asset your business could ever have. Sweeping statement? Maybe. But let's take a quick look. . . Your website is your shop window to the world. Does your shop window say 'CLOSED'? How easy is your website for people to navigate and find what they want? Pretty designs do not always make for easy use. Visit your own website and run a human usability check on it! If you're not sure, just ask us to take a look. It's free.

How do you choose the right web development company or web designer (/business-websites/Graphic-Designers/graphic-design) for your needs?
Design v. Business
Anyone can design a website, right? Well, almost! But it's not about the design really, is it? It's all about the understanding. Not just boring stuff like HTML, CSS, AJAX, Javascript and all that - it's more about understanding business (/business-websites/business-websites-by-wysi).
Some questions to ponder
Here are some helpful questions to ask yourself (and your web developer) about your new project:-
What is the primary aim of the new website? (Attract more business (/business-websites/Social-Media/social-media-networking)?)
How is it going to be found? (SEO (/business-websites/Search-Engine-Optimisation/search-engine-optimization-experts), PPC (/business-websites/Internet-Marketing-Experts/web-marketing-consultants), other?)
What required fun
