Small is Beautiful!

July has been a busy month at SiteWeave and we launched three new, single page web sites:

• A2Z Removals of Portsmouth - offering removals to those living in or near Portsmouth
• Bin It Portsmouth - Rubbish and Waste removal and disposal of old electrical appliances
• Blue Door Bindery - Book binding and book restoration

A check on the Google ranking of these three sites shows that although they are small, they are working beautifully!

A2Z Removals of Portsmouth searches:
flat removals portsmouth - ranks 1
house removals havant - ranks 4

Bin It Portsmouth searches
washing machines removed portsmouth - ranks 1
garden waste disposal portsmouth - ranks 5

Blue Door Bindery searches
repairing old books hampshire - ranks 1
bookbinding hampshire - ranks 8

One of the features of a web site that can aid its high ranking is the size - generally the bigger the web site the higher ranked it is. But a small web site that is well designed, has good, appropriate content and is well optimised can - as we see from these three web sites - also rank well.

SiteWeave have been designing, building and promoting web sites for more than ten years and host more than 100 web sites, most of which we have designed. If you would like a new web site, have a web site that you'd like updated or promoted then please contact John S at SiteWeave for a discussion and estimate.

SiteWeave launch new web site for Bin It Portsmouth

If you live in the Portsmouth area and have household or garden rubbish to remove or an old washing machine, fridge or tumble drier to dispose of then you'd do well to contact Bin It.

Bin It is a small, family run business, established in Portsmouth for more than five years. They will remove and dispose of rubbish from your home, garage or garden - and aim to recycle as much of your waste as possible.

They have a licence to dispose of rubbish in commercial dumps and will also arrange proper disposal of electrical items such as refridgerators which can be a problem for private indivuals to get rid of.

The Bin It web site is a SiteWeave one page web site, with an additional contact page. Such web sites are ideal for small companies who cannot justify the cost of a full web site but require an Internet presence. In addition to one page web sites SiteWeave provide six page Send and Go web sites and multipage bespoke web sites.

For details see the SiteWeave web site, telephone John S on 02392 753 289 or email John.

SiteWeave launch new site for Blue Door Bindery

The Blue Door Bindery is a small workshop just outside Petersfield where Gaynor Williams works as a bookbinder: repairing, restoring and making books using traditional techniques and materials.

Using hand made paper and some unusual animal skins - including fish skin - Gaynor brings life to old books and creates wonderful new books.

The Blue Door Bindery web site is a single page web site with an additional contact page. Such site are ideal for small enterprises such as Gaynor's which want an Internet presence but cannot justify the creation of a large web site.
