The choice between an online site builder or a website built by a professional developer, has often come down to the initial outlay. With our new subscription website packages that no longer has to be the case.

Not to be confused with Laravel’s new context library, this package can be used to build multi-context multi-tenant applications. Most multi-tenant libraries essentially have a single ‘tenant’ context, so if you need multiple contexts, things can get a bit fiddly. This new package solves that problem.

With all the news surrounding the CrowdStrike outage and crashing Microsoft Windows machines, many of our customers may be quite rightly concerned. In this short post I’m going to do my best to explain what’s going on and what level of interruption you can expect.

If you are looking for your first website, or seeking to replace one which is not delivering, the myriad of available options can often appear overwhelming.

PNG, JPEG, SVG, WebP - they’re all images, they look mostly the same, but their differences are more pronounced than you might expect.

So you’ve run your website through Lighthouse for Chrome, or Google PageSpeed insights, and there’s a horrible red warning “Defer offscreen images”. It’s a pretty easy one to fix, but may be daunting at first glance.

Experience earned over two decades has taught us that online success is about using the right tools, to do lots of seemingly little things really well.

There are two primary considerations for a successful online presence, good visibility and positive perception.

In a world where credibility means everything and website visitors take .05 seconds to form an opinion of my business, I wanted my website to make a good impression fast. I found that the TypedCMS built website offered by Honeystone checked off all the criteria on my list.  

Make it SIMPLE for people to find, choose, buy, use, recommend and rate your products and services.

Understanding the difference between SEO (search engine optimisation) and SEF (search engine friendliness) can help you stay several steps ahead of your competitors online.

Content for the “suggestive” stage of the SIMPLE content model is either off your website or is picked up from your website by search engines, scraped off and then used to index your site.  The “suggestive” phase of content creation addresses the beginning of the buying cycle - the time when people are searching for a product or service to solve a problem, but probably haven’t visited or even heard of your website yet.

It was great to be part of such a fun event and catch up with colleagues and friends from far and wide.
