I would start by building a portfolio of work and use this to work out what type of designer you are and where you want to go. Courses can be expensive and not as useful as you would think. I have done a HND / BA and MA and mostly we were left to our own devises (yes it took me 3 courses...

Your client could get 250 plastic gift cards printed in full colour with sequential numbering or barcode for £160 from Plastic Gift Cards Printing | Gift Card Printing > By Harry Bugg they'll even print some for her to approve first. I seems to me that too few retailers actually make...

Yeah I read that too (notice new comment at base). I started the site with dilusions of grandure so probably wont change this as the 301 redirect may sap some of the strength of the site. Its ranking in the UK in any case so am not worried, if I was that concerned I would probably move to...

I think i know what you mean... That really depends on what type of site you are trying to create, wordpress can cause some technical SEO issues which can be countered by various plugins (these are easy to find online). However static sites can also have technical SEO issues if...

@ knorthfield I would noramlly setup using a .co.uk (when targetting the UK) as far as I was aware there were several factors that let google know where a site was focusing on including: + Hosting location + Webmaster tools settings + Location of inbound links + The use of .co.uk As far as I...

SEO has its place but so does PPC I fail to understand people problem with PPC. Its not like SEO is free, it takes time and so even for experts there is an associated cost. Both SEO and PPC can be done badly, in fact it is probably easier to pick up a sufficient understanding of PPC than it is...

Page rank in terms of the green bar that you can see on your browser is a very poor indication of page quality (or the actual page rank) as it is updated infrequently if at all and is notoriously inaccurate. Reciprocal linking although relevant if it's with sites from a similar industry is not...
