How well does your website rank in Google?

This is a question we often ask people when they come in ask for a website redesign.  Most people do not know the answer. However, Nutwork can issue them with a very detailed Search Engine Ranking report which tells them exactly where their website ranks for a particular set of keywords.  This report gives you your exact ranking which is not the same as you physically typing in your keywords to Google and seeing where you rank.  The problem which using the latter method is that Google skews your search results towards your own website.  It sees that you have visited your website many times and then decides that it is an important result for you.  It is not necessarily how your website will rank for other people searching for you business!

One of our great rankings success stories is a website called Pizza Base.  They came to us about a year ago saying that they wanted to rank on page one of Google for a set of ten keywords.  As of today they rank on page one for nine of them, and first result on page two for the other one.

Keyword Google Rank
pizza flour 2
pizza base 3
make pizza dough 4
pizza dough 7
make pizza 7
pizza base recipe 8
pizza recipe 9
pizza recipes 9
how to make pizza 10
pizza dough recipe 11

Pretty impressive results! It just goes to show with a lot of knowledge, a bit of hard work and some time great rankings for your website in Google are possible.

New Age Trading bring new technology to Australia

About New Age Trading

New Age Trading seeks to bring the latest technology to Australia, along with providing the marketing that manufacturers and resellers need to introduce revolutionary products into the Australian market. New Age seeks to be at the forefront of the ever growing technology sector.

New Age Trading wanted a youthful and dynamic look to their new, redesigned site.  It needed to have the ability to display the most recent products and to provide a blog for technology news from around the world.  The aim is to keep you abreast of techonology news while also highlighting key products they introduce to the Australian market.

We gave the X-mini speakers a test in the Nutwork office and we were very impressed.  A speaker the size of a golf ball produces a surprising amount of noise, and unlike most small speakers it does not lose the bass.

Check out their new website.

Kidzmix website went live this week

kidzmix website

Would you like your children to be more friendly, be able to deal with bullying appropriately, to thinking positively and learn more about team work? If the answer is yes, then you should check out the newly redesigned kidzmix website.

Helen Davidson is an Occupational Therapist and a Family Therapist and runs many courses and seminar about social and emotional development in children.

The ideas behind the design

The kids from the illustrations have been placed in the page to link this with the Kizmix publication. The two children in the footer appear to look at the content of the website, focusing attention on the content of the page. The site is titled with the clients name, for that is the main focus of the site – information and products by Helen Davidson.

The right hand column has a news section, which can come from the blog or from news posts. There is also a search form, so visitors can search the site by keywords. Social links are also placed here, and can be added or removed as desired.

The ball next to the main title will automatically appear next to all main headings.

Android overtakes iPhone in the US

Everything these days seems to be iPhone, iPad, iPod, iMac etc etc.  You would be forgiven for thinking that Apple are the only players in the mobile market. We often get asked about iPhone apps, and being an official Apple developer, Nutwork are, of course, delighted to scope this out for you.

However, Android has now actually overtaken iPhone as the most popular mobile device operating system (in the U.S.).  Android is the platform emerging as massive competitor to iPhone OS and is backed by none other than Google.

Ignore Android at your peril!
