IT, EMAIL & INTERNET SUPPORT
Want a one-stop shop for all your email setup & configuration, along with SSL, FTP and file sharing services? Des will take the tech jargon out of your requirements and get you sorted with whatever infrastructure & services you need.
- SSL : Secure certs were originally used to encrypt and protect credit card details, but - with people regularly logging on to websites using public and hotel WiFi - are now essential for any login or contact forms too, to prevent identity theft.
- FTP : Ever copied a file from one computer to any other? Then you've done a form of FTP; it's simply a "File Transfer Protocol / Standard" that allows different computers with different operating systems – e.g. Windows, MacOS, Unix – to communicate and store files.
- IMAP : A method of accessing emails from a central "postbox" every time you log in; this requires internet access, but the benefit is that you can access read or previously-sent emails from multiple devices, even while on holidays.
- POP3 : A method of collecting emails from your email server; this means that you don't require constant internet access, but you may not be able to access read or previously-sent from another device or location.

MARKETING, ADVERTISING AND GRAPHICS
Looking for help with your website's SEO, or your company branding, logos or graphics? We can help!
- SEO - Search Engine Optimisation - is a technique to optimise your website's page titles, keywords & content to maximise your chance of appearing high in search results.
- Logo Design for small business is often treated as an unimportant task, whereas a well-designed logo can provide impact and visual recognition; logos should also be SVG or AI scaleable vector format so that they can be enlarged or reduced without losing clarity or definition.
- Advertising should always reflect the colours and format of your logo, avoiding a clash of colours, fonts or font sizes.
