With global business conditions facing an uncertain, and for some, unsettling future, businesses are scrambling for ways to provide better services to customers and increase turnover, while at the same time streamlining costs and efficiencies to match competitors who are doing the same.

June has been a good month for new browser releases, with the the launch of new versions of both Google Chrome and Firefox.  Google Chrome downloads and updates itself automatically in the background, so many people who use it don't even realise that their browser has been updated.  The quick release of Firefox 5, just three months after the release of Firefox 4, marks the first of their new quick releases to keep up with Chrome's fast-paced development cycle.

Is your current business website looking a little bit under the weather?  Has it lost it's shine, now past its prime?  Is it on its last legs and really starting to show its age?  Why not sell it to Codevelopment, and save big on your shiny, brand new, 2011 model website?

Do you own a business in the design, marketing, consulting, printing, signage or other creative or business services professions? 

Codevelopment works with creative industry businesses and expert business consultants to complement our specialist web programming and software development skills set, and to provide a full spectrum of quality business services to our client base.

If you think your locally-based business can add value to Codevelopment's service range, we would like to hear from you.

Optimising your website for search engines is critical in order for your business to be found and generate an income online.  Google officially uses over 200 factors both on and off your website to algorithmically decide your website's ranking in their search results.  Bing, the second largest search engine, uses up to 1000 ranking signals. 

Back in 1994, when businesses were still coming to grips with this new internet medium, virtually unknown to the masses until then, websites were primarily seen as online versions of existing print marketing material, albeit potentially accessible to a much wider audience. The underlying technology served that purpose relatively well. Web pages were basically text, with relevant images where necessary, linked together to create context.

Codevelopment has launched the new year with a range of new online marketing services for small businesses.  If you are a brand new business, or an established business and just want a simple solution for a once-off promotion, our new starter website and social media marketing solutions will launch your upcoming marketing promotions quickly and professionally.

Small businesses sometimes have a hard time competing against bigger businesses with large marketing budgets.  It doesn't have to be that way, though, with accessible web technologies making it easier and more cost effective for any business to position themselves favourably in their preferred market.

Codevelopment develops "Intelligent Websites".  More than just a marketing slogan, we work hard to ensure that our clients' business presence online is every bit as cleverly deployed as their offline initiatives.

Here are some of the strict criteria for what makes up a Codevelopment Intelligent Website.

Want to promote your business using social media, but don't have the time to post in multiple places? Set up your accounts so that they post to each other. For example, set up your business Facebook page to use the Twitter application, so that posts made to your Facebook business page are automatically sent to your Twitter page as well.
