The Advantages of Drupal
It is easy to use & update
You can update your own site when you want - where you want - without fuss. No need to get your web designer to do it for you. Using a properly configured WYSIWYG editor like TinyMCE, you can even paste content from Word and have it take out all those tag peculiar to MS Word.
Value for money
Drupal is open source software, so you don't need to pay any licensing fees or development costs.
Reliable & Secure
Drupal has an extensive and active community supporting it. It is constantly being improved and is subject to extensive testing so you can count on it to be rock solid.
Search-Engine Friendly
It can be configured for friendly URLs. Content output is designed to be standards compliant which will not not help boost your search engine rankings but be accessible as well.
Modular and Extendible
You can add extra features like blogs, forums, e-commerce and calendars if you wish. There are multitudes of third party modules to choose from to extend Drupal.
Google Adwords Phishing Scam
We recently received an email asking us to to update our Google AdWords. This is clearly a phishing scam that has nothing to do with Google. This makes a change from the regular banking or eBay ones we get.
The link says http://adwords.google.com/select/login while it really points to http://www.adwords.google.com.0lks.cn/select/Login. Note the extra bit in the URL.
Don't get caught out.
The message reads below.

Brochure Site
A brochure site is a basic web presence. It may be 1 or 2 pages, a page that explains the nature of your business and a contact page. This is perfect to get your name out there and to tell potential customers about your services. These days, everybody expects a business to have a web site.
A brochure site may be just the thing to get you started.
Basic Static Site
A basic static site consists of several pages, usually around 4 to 5 pages: home, about, services and contact. It is good for a one-way flow of information, from your site to the visitors.
This would suit a small to medium sized business that wants to give a bit more information about products and services. A basic static site is ideal for sites that update every now and again. You can make the changes yourself and upload them by FTP.
We offer 6 free updates per year for every site we design and host.
