Dyfi Valley Holiday Site Goes Live

Tuesday, November 7th, 2006

Pixelwave Web Design is pleased to announce the release of a website for holiday accommodation in the Dyfi Valley.

Pabell Lên Powys is a detached 19th century barn newly converted as a self-catering unit with a traditional exterior and contemporary interior. It is located on an organic sheep farm in the tranquil Dyfi Valley. The setting is convenient yet peaceful with pleasant views of the surrounding hills. The holiday accommodation sleeps 4 and is furnished to a high standard, with a private patio and large parking area.

The website was built from the ground up by Pixelwave Web Design based on one of our website templates and has been designed to be easy to manage, accessible and search engine friendly.

Emergency Maintenance

Announcement from datacenter:
——————————-

We are opening an emergency maintenance window beginning 22:00 UK time on Sunday 5th Nov 2006.

During this time we will be performing a reboot of our core aggregation stack, this will cause complete loss of connectivity for all customers while the devices reboot and reconfigure.

Depending on the result of this reboot we may also be performing further diagnosis or a software update on the stack, if this is the case then further reboots may be required.

Total outage time for each reboot is anticipated to be approximately 5-10 minutes.

We apologise for the outage caused by this essential work.

Website Maintenance and SEO Updates

Friday, October 27th, 2006

I’m keeping busy here at Pixelwave Web Design at the moment. A few of my existing clients have asked me to do some maintenance work on their sites, I’m busy with a couple of new clients and I’m in the process of finishing off a few projects and starting a couple of new ones:

  • I’ve been making a few functional changes to the Palaeontological Associations online ordering system and adding some content too.
  • I’ve been doing some SEO updates to Erozone, a sex toys shop in Shrewsbury.
  • I’m working on a list if updates for the website of a local artist, Clare Maynard.
  • Fairies World is keeping me busy as ever and has just reached our target of 1 miilion page views per month.

As far as I am concerned it is great to be so busy, even if it does mean a few late nights and early mornings. I’m enjoying the support side of things at the moment as well, as I seem to have had a morning of questions and enquiries from clients all of which I have been able to answer quickly and effectively leaving me with a sense of well-being after helping people out. All part of the job and it is good to talk to satisfied customers on the phone rather than just send e-mails back and forth.

Welsh Holiday Accommodation website

Friday, October 20th, 2006

I’ve just started a new project for a family run business offering luxury holiday accommodation in West Wales.

The project is a fairly straight forward, brochure style website designed to reflect the contemporary, luxury accommodation offered. Pabell Len Powys is a detached 19th century barn newly converted as a self-catering unit with a traditional exterior and contemporary interior. It is located on an organic sheep farm in the tranquil Dyfi Valley, not far from Machynlleth.

The owners are friends of another client of mine who, pleased with the work I had done for them, passed on my details. I’m always delighted to get new clients but when they come from direct word-of-mouth recommendations it always pleases me as I know I must be doing something right and offering the service and final product that my clients require.

Watch this space as the new website will be released soon.

Online Kite Surf Shop

Thursday, October 19th, 2006

Pixelwave Web Design are currently working on the addition of an eCommerce online kite surf shop for Kite Surf Wales.

Kite Surf Wales is run by a friend of mine and was one of the earlier websites designed by Pixelwave Web Design. It has been running for several years now and generates lots of enquiries and bookings for Shem, which keep him busy all year round. It has excellent search engine rankings and Shem often gets asked to supply boards, kites and equipment to his clients. He has been doing this on a small scale for a while and has connections with several distributors, importers and manufacturers and will soon be launching an all new online kite surf shop selling all of the latest kite surfing equipment.

The kites surf shop will integrate seamlessly with the existing design of his website and will allow purchases to be made online. In the background Shem will have access to an administration panel allowing him to keep the product catalogue up to date, manage and process orders and administer his shop via various online controls.

Pixelwave Web Design obviously wish him all the best with this new facet of his business.

Websites Keeping me Busy

Sunday, October 1st, 2006

I’ve been a little quiet on the ‘latest news’ front as I’ve been busy with continuing work on Fairies World, working hard on the Beacons Active sites and updating various other websites that I have built. Fairies World goes from strength to strength, with lots of new developments and more importantly from my point of view a very happy client and happy website visitors. The new image galleries that I set up for them now has over 1000 images and has been viewed over 300,000 times already. Fairies World are also developing various relationships and affiliations with other compnaies in a never ending effort to improve the website and to collaborate with fairies artists from all over the world.

Beacons Active has been keeping me busy and is due for release in the near future. It is just about to go into its testing phase before being made available online.

I’ve also been working on updates for the University of Wales, Aberystwyth Estates Office website in addiition to minor updates on a number of other sites. It all keeps me busy, and at times a little stressed, but overall I’m pleased with the way things are going and enjoying the relationships I’m developing with my clients.
