SiteWeave Articles

Publishing articles on article publishing web sites is a good way to promote your web site and also provide some interesting and useful information to visitors. When articles are published they contain a brief biography of the author and contact details - including a link to your web site. This is a one-way link and will therefore help enhance your search engine ranking.

Anyone may copy your articles and republish them and, crucially, must include your biography and contact details, thus adding to the number of one way links.

Recently SiteWeave have published two articles:

• Points to Consider Before Selecting a Web Design Company
• How to Write a Business Web Site

Google Translate is a service provided by Google which can be used to translate words, documents and even whole web sites into a variety of languages. At present his service is provided at no cost - a cost may be applied in the future.

• Vistaplan Drawing Management - look for the Google Translate box at the top left of the page
  
  
• The Finance Team - look for the Google Translate box at the bottom right of the page

Google Tranlate can also translate PDF files stored on your web site!

• Take a look at a PDF on the SiteWeave web site
  
  
• Now translated into French by Google Translator

Although the Google Translate service is provided at no cost, SiteWeave will make a small charge for the cost of integrating the code onto your web site and testing it. If you are interested please contact John at SiteWeave.

SiteWeave re-create Finance Team web site

The Finance Team web site has been hosted by SiteWeave for some years but maintained by members of the Finance Team staff, using FrontPage. The FrontPage software is now getting old and is no longer supported by Microsoft so SiteWeave we asked to re-create the web site using modern coding techniques.

This we have done and the new site, boasting more graphics, slimmer coding and basic search engine optimisation is now up and running!

SiteWeave have been creating web sites, big and small, for more than ten years. If you'd like a web site, or if you have one that needs updating or promoting please contact John Studd at SiteWeave for a chat and an estimate!
