We’ve powered up Alex Brewster Electrical's new website!

We completely re-wired their digital space with a bespoke WordPress build, turning it into a high-voltage powerhouse that’s bold and shockingly fast.

This bespoke powerhouse isn't just about lightning-fast speeds; it's a masterclass in accessibility and SEO foundations, designed to keep the web current flowing smoothly for everyone. Navigating this site is as easy as flipping a light switch – oh and it gets the confetti animation from Google’s lighthouse test, yep 100s all round. Woop woop.

The previous web copy was in dire need of an overhaul – we took all the hassle away and penned some lit words. This was one thing that owners Paul and Melanie were worried about – Paul said ‘I wish I’d come to you years ago, we’ve been putting it off for ages… thinking it would take up all our time – you made it so easy for us”

So, if you're on the hunt for some electrifying solutions, Nettl can spark life into your next project. Puns never get old do they?

Oops, They Did It Again: Uncommon Web Design Blunders Businesses Keep Making

Ah, website design – the art of creating a digital haven that invites customers to frolic, engage, and ultimately, hand over their hard-earned cash. Sounds easy, right? Well, not so much. Every day, countless businesses fall victim to common web design blunders, like cluttered layouts, slow load times, and, heaven forbid, autoplaying videos (shudder).

But today, we're not here to discuss the usual suspects. We're venturing off the beaten path to explore the less-discussed web design mistakes businesses make. Grab your hiking boots, intrepid readers, and let's dive into the world of uncommon website design faux pas!

Hello Friday.
Party on.

Women are the other half of the sky…
Shout out to all the wonder women out there. Here are the inspirational females in my life. Bossing it 💪

So do you feel lucky, punk? Hang on, that was Dirty Harry.

There we have it folks. You survived your first encounter with Clint, now make your choice. Ready? Draw!

Bowling into the weekend like…

Woah, what’s this? Bodacious dudes, Bill & Ted are here with some most excellent SEO tips for you dude and dudettes. Strap in tight for an excellent SEO adventure. Over to you "Bill" S. Preston Esq. and Ted "Theodore" Logan…

1. Be excellent to your keywords, my dudes.

Make sure your keywords are totally rad and in the title, meta description, and all over your content.

Don't stuff them in there and make it look weird, just use them like you would in a normal sentence. Hey and don't forget to use different variations of your main keywords, Bill.

2. Don't be bogus with your backlinks.

Don't get caught up in sketchy backlink schemes, dude. Make sure you're getting links from legit sources and that they're relevant to your content.

Try to score links from big wigs in your niche, and stay away from buying or trading links, cause that's just asking for trouble man.

Hey Ted, what’s a backlink?
A backlink, my friend, is like a vote of confidence for your website. It's when another website links to your site. Think of it like me saying 'Hey Bill, this website is totally worth checking out.' The more backlinks you have, the more popular and credible your site seems to the search engines, and the higher it will rank in search results.

3. Make sure your website is rad and easy to navigate

Search engines dig that. Keep it simple and make it easy for surfers to find what they're looking for. Also, make sure it's mobile-friendly and loads quick, Bill. Then you’re on the way to a most triumphant site.

4. Keep your content fresh and bodacious, dude

Keep updating your site with new and relevant stuff, that way the search engines totally keep coming back for more. Also, try to write longer content, studies from some most wise dudes show it ranks most excellently in Google.

5. Be excellent to each other, and party…I mean share on!

Share your content on social media platforms, it'll help you get more visibility and drive more (web) surfers to your website. But make sure your content is worthy of being shared. Heinous content won’t, so make it bodacious.

It’s a wrap folks. Wishing you all a Jimi Hendrix and a happy new year. See you on the other side. Peace and love 🌈🕊️♥️

Do you feel Christmassy, punk. Well do ya?
Xmas decorations sorted. ✅
Hoping to win ‘s Christmas decorations prize.

Getting ready for the weekend like…

We’re not worthy. We’re not worthy. Mr Zimmerman has arrived… tickets have anyway. Buzzing to be seeing one of mine and Jimi’s heroes. Taking a break from playing the arctic monkeys new album on repeat and will be playing mostly 70s Dylan this week in between Rough and Rowdy Ways - it’s an absolute groove - his band are on top form. Still a lyrical genius at 79 🙌

Anyone else snag a ticket? Who’s your musical hero/heroine.

Starting the weekend like…

Hi, could I interest you in some web design?

👀🍺✈️🏄‍♂️🤙😎
