Having worked with the Hexadex Group on a number of projects, Absolute web design nottingham were asked to produce a complete set of CMS websites for its group of companies; Hexadex, Eminox, Swenox, Tecconex and Ceramex. All the sites share the same web design DNA and are powered by Absolute CMS 4, chosen for its search engine optimisation performance, flexibility and ease of use.

The first website to go live is www.ceramex.com ahead of its debut at the IAA Commercial Vehicles exhibition in Hannover. Having undertaken a branding and web design project for the entire group, the remaining websites will now be rolled out.

DL Rhodes & Son is a construction company based in Nottingham offering services ranging from building repairs to civil engineering and working with private clients and local authorities.

The business needed a new web design to better reflect the quality and professionalism of their work and allow potential clients to easily find them on Google and the other search engines. They chose Absolute web design Nottingham to produce the site due to our web design and search engine optimisation (SEO) experience.

The website is built using Absolute CMS 4, allowing DL Rhodes to edit page content, maintaining a consistent and professional web design throughout. The web design is also very SEO friendly and includes dedicated modules for a showcase gallery of recent projects, plus automatic URL re-writing, SEO friendly HTML and META data to maximise their ranking on the search engines.

Nottingham-based Impact Facilities Management Ltd specialises in petrol forecourt canopy repair, commercial signage, shop fitting and general construction, refurbishment and joinery. The business needed a web design that would accurately reflect and convey the quality of work they carry out and would position them alongside clients such as Tesco, Debenhams and HSBC. They chose Absolute web design Nottingham to produce the site because of our experience and understanding of their business.

The website is built using Absolute CMS 4 which allows the marketing team to add and edit page content, maintaining a consistent and professional web design throughout. The web design is also very SEO friendly and includes dedicated modules for Latest News and Case Studies to keep homepage content fresh, plus automatic URL re-writing and SEO friendly HTML, in addition to the usual META data configuration.

As a progressive web design, branding and graphic design business, we have an on-going commitment to improve and refine our services. One of the key areas we identified for improvement was colour proofing and on-press colour sign-off; historically a time intensive, potentially costly process.

Having developed an expertise in colour correction, working closely with companies such as Romo fabrics and Villa Nova, we were confident that our in-studio processes were very effective. However, the issue of the amount of valuable time spent ‘on-press', by both us and our clients was one which we were determined to improve upon.

We are proud to announce the launch of the new Natgraph web design to coincide with a major international exhibition at FESPA 2010 in Munich.

Located in Nottingham, Natgraph is Europe's largest manufacturer of conveyor dryers utilising forced air, infra red energy and ultra violet radiation. Absolute was approached to create a new web design and CMS solution that would reflect the positioning of the business and also allow the marketing team to implement web marketing strategies and improve SEO ranking for selected key words and phrases.

As an SME manufacturer based in the East Midlands, the web design and development qualified for a match funding grant from a regional development fund. Absolute was able to secure 50% of the project costs because we are an approved member of the East Midlands Service Provider Register. Funding was used for web consultancy aimed at increasing the efficiency and sales performance of the website. This included an ecommerce module, a news module to ensure regular content updates to the homepage and on-site Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).

Last night's Digital Marketing Masterclass was a big success and we received lots of positive comments from delegates. It was great to have the opportunity to discuss website design and marketing with an audience from such varied and diverse backgrounds.Attendees left with some practical tools and advice on how to improve their online marketing activities.

Our Digital Services Director, James Bird, covered topics including SEO, email marketing, website design and link building supported by real life case studies, including how we achieved a number one page ranking for our key search terms, such as "Web Development Nottingham", "SEO Nottingham", "Graphic Design Nottingham" and "Web Design Nottingham".

A client of ours recently experienced a loss of Search Ranking Position (SRP) for their primary search phrase, which coincided with Google's new algorithm update known as Caffeine. All their other search terms maintained their previous positions, which suggested the site was not blacklisted, but rather penalised for a high keyword density relating to this specific search phrase. We took the following actions:

• Modified their news module to enable us to categorise news stories by search terms and dates;
• Balanced keyword density throughout each page for all search terms;
• Checked for broken links;
• Enhanced web design to reduce the load time of the site;
• Used specialist SEO tools to ensure that page content had not been duplicated.

We were recently awarded the East Midlands Development Agency contract to re-design their England's East Midlands website. The web design and development project, which attracted 80 expressions of interest and was subject to two tender stages was awarded to Absolute because we demonstrated our understanding of foreign direct investments and its impact on the region.
