Site Launch: Geek.com

A major new version of Geek.com was launched last Monday, the culmination of around 3 months hard graft by Joe Hoyle, myself and some of the awesome guys over at Namemedia. We completely rewrote the back-end of the site so that it is better able to cope with the 1,000,000 odd people a month who visit. We also added several social networking features which should enable the already vibrant forum community to grow and diversify.

Site Launch: Hybrid Forums

hybridforums.com is the newest addition to Namemedia’s growing Enthusiasts Sites division and is the just the latest in a growing list of niche social networks and community sites that we have been working with Namemedia to design, develop and support.

Site Launch: Perriam & Everett Blog

We are happy to announce that the Wordpress powered blog we developed (props to net syndicate for the design) for Perriam & Everett has launched and already has several well written articles gracing its archives.

Site Launch: Net Syndicate Blog

The Wordpress blog we built for Net Syndicate has now launched, the site provides an easy, stylish way for the guys over there to post news updates and articles.

Site Launch: ecopodholidays.co.uk

Ecopod Holidays LogoThe Ecopod Holidays website has gone live today, initially the site provides details for the first few campsites that have Ecopods, over time the site will expand and grow as new campsites come on board.

New Client: Netsyndicate

We have been contracted by Netsyndicate LTD to integrate a wordpress powered blog into their existing C.M.S powered corporate site.

Hotcars, Dreamwheels, Biking & Cycling updated

Major upgrades to hotcars.com, dreamwheels.com, biking.com & cycling.com have gone live today, the culmination of around two weeks hard coding by the team behind them (I had minimal input as I was on holiday for the majority).

Most of the changes are behind the scenes bug-fixes and tweaks all of which sure ensure a smoother error free experience whilst using the sites.

A big thank-you to everyone involved.

Closed for Holiday: 11th - 22nd April

We are closing shop on the 11th April for a planned holiday to Ireland and will not be completing any significant work until we get back on the 21st April, if you are a current client I should have already spoken to you.

I you are wanting to contact us for new work, please be aware that there will be a delay in us getting back to you.

See you when we get back.

New Client: Craig Banks

An Ecopod is an environmentally friendly, recycled, comfortable, contemporary living space ideal for holidaying in, the chap that creates them, Craig Banks, has asked Edge Designs to provide design and development services for both his ecopods.co.uk domain and a much larger upcoming venture, ecopodholidays.co.uk. We plan on working with Craig for some time as his fledgling business grows and we look forward to helping him create a greener future.

Firefox Extension - Rank Checker

Just came across this via seobook.com. This simple but powerful Firefox extension allows you to easily check where any domain ranks against any amount of keywords. Rather than explain to you how it works I have instead included a video of the author walking through downloading, installing and using the extension. Useful no?
