    Nuno, I'm pleased you sacked the client. It sounded like you knew you had to from the start.

    Any Experiences of GoDaddy?

    Just to add to this.. USA based A2 hosting managed to stuff up my transfer of a .co.uk name. It took the best part of a week to sort it. Their system could only cope with 3 digit extensions.

    Any Experiences of GoDaddy?

    Although web-developers tells me GD is not good (slow) particularly for dynamic sites like WordPress I have to say my own 6 year experience has been the opposite. Perhaps I got lucky with my allocated shared server or it's the low traffic I get. They have been better for me than the more...

    Wordpress Plugins - super cache - wots it do?

    A bit. It comes in at 7-8 seconds to fully load using this http://tools.pingdom.com . Wordpress can be slow and with Google making speed a factor in ranking there is no shortage of information. This is an article on setting up Total Cache if you think you need it...

    Wordpress Plugins - super cache - wots it do?

    Caching is worth looking in to for better speeds The W3 Total Cache plugin seems to get better test results. You can control what you want to cache. For example just the files you are not likely to edit much like javascript and CSS. If by editing the content often you mean adding new...

    E-com , what MUSTS on your website to help sales

    I find the site a bit overwhelming. Too much competing information on a home page for me I'm guessing your customers will be looking for one item. So is it worth questioning if you need "new in store", "top sellers" and "special deals"? And do you need payment cards icons showing twice...

    how to deal with out of stock items

    An interesting topic for someone new to eCommerce like me. As most of our greeting card customers land on a product page, hiding items meant Google would send them to a 404 page. Perhaps we need a better 404 page! Presently we have gone for showing the item as "out of stock" hoping that...

    It's now definitely time to ditch IE6.

    I could not agree more. We decided not to support IE6 for my wife's on-line greeting card shop and added Microsoft's own outdated browser warning from ie6countdown(dot)com I also work for a Government body that still has IE6 but it is due to up-grade next month. Sure, employees there do...

    Looking for Biodegradable Greeting Card Bags

    Thanks Jeff - They certainly do and we missed them. We will drop them a line as they don't say whether to do bespoke sizes on bags. They could be good for our envelopes too. P.S I like your on-line shop

    Website content that converts...

    A wide question, but removing the price issue, it's personality, respect and transparency which engages me. I'm judging the site before it loads on it's speed and if it crammed with too much information page I'm off. I don't like web copy like "we are the number one professionals for.. "...

    Looking for Biodegradable Greeting Card Bags

    Many thanks. We saw these, but unless we are missing something these are too small and have depth to carry food stuff. Our bags are for individual greeting cards - ideally self seal bags

    Looking for Biodegradable Greeting Card Bags

    Someone must be doing compostable (biophan,cornstarch) greeting card bags somewhere but we have drawn a blank with Google. Can anyone help? We found some, but not close enough in size to our 140mm x140mm or 165mm x 120mm cards.

    Starting my online business

    You will have to avoid duplicating content if you want to stay friends with Google. Fancy explaining the logic on this?

    wordpress update problem!!

    I had no problem. You may know this but this is a major release so it's worth checking whether your theme is compatible. Also that you have the new minimums - php 5.2.4 & MySQL 5.
