You would have to be living under a rock not to have noticed World Cup fever gripping the nation. We have been following all the action on the FIFA World Cup website.

As web designers, it’s almost impossible to view a web site, even on our own time, without casting a critical eye over it. One of the hardest things to do in web design is to present a large amount of information in a clear and coherent way. We fully understand this, as do our clients.

Whether you love or hate the world cup and soccer, you must take a look at this site. Everything you could possibly want to know is only a few clicks away, and is very easy to find.

Well done FIFA. A big win here!

How to combat Facebook website hackers

Posted on 14/05/2010 by Nutwork Web Design and SEO

Facebook now has the ability to email or text you when someone tries to access your profile page from an unknown computer.

If you get this email/text you can quickly log in and change your password before the hacker does any damage.

This assumes the hacker has not changed your password already! Good work by Facebook for this innovation but we are not sure it will work very well.

Read the full story here.

Nutwork Beat the Australian Government at SEO

Posted on 03/08/2009 by Nutwork Web Design and SEO Perth

Recently we launched the Rudd Stimulus website – and we’re pleased to say that it ranks even higher than Kevin Rudd’s $140,000 Rudd Stimulus website! That’s no fluke, we’re just a lot better at Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) than Kevin Rudd!

If you type “rudd stimulus website” into Google, you will find one of our optimised websites ranking number 2 – right under the Australian website. Look further down the page and you can see the official website and the ALP website. Maybe Rudd should have spent some of his stimulus money on his own website?

Nutwork Web Design take SEO very seriously. We make sure that every website we launch has been properly optimised – that’s because we employ specialist SEO staff to work on your site – and that’s part of every website we do.

Don’t just trust your web designer when he says he does “SEO” – make sure you get a specialist to do it for you properly – otherwise how far down the list will your website show up?
