For someone who is not “technically minded”, one way to understand why website maintenance is important to your business, is to think of your website like a vehicle.

After 4 years the Honeystone website was starting to feel its age. Functionally it was great, the content was pretty good too, and it performed well (100% on PageSpeed Insights), yet it just felt a bit dull and dated - I wanted to rebuild it!

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.

In this guide we’ll look at common image formats for the web and you’ll learn how to choose the right file type for the job.

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.

This is a basic, surface level, introduction to these technologies and our thoughts and opinions surrounding them. We look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of low-code/no-code solutions and how they compare to their traditional custom code counterpart.

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. In this article I am going to share just some of the best practices Honeystone follows to build successful websites. The more of these things that are done right, the more successful your website can become.

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.
