Our free e-book about search engine optimization has gone down well but we have had the odd bit of feedback about how “you can’t beat a proper book”.
So, you can now buy the book online as a paperback from Lulu.com.
I’m looking forward to this website that has now gone live for Storepoint.
With a great product there is a real upside that we are hoping to generate as the previous website had little online presence.
Produced in our CMS system, the website will be updated on the fly, with additional value added content to drive traffic, as well as refined produce pages and case studies.
This website also has an e-commerce element, which is being worked on live as the website beds in.
So, me and Debs are off to Toronto in Canada for the first week of April to sit down for a few days of web strategy advice with Escape client - Advanced Inc.
Part of the trip involves presenting our “How To Formulate An Effective Web Strategy” seminar (now fully booked in the UK), which should also help the process as their own strategy takes shape.
If you are a company in Torronto and are looking for a web agency that can deliver, get in contact and maybe we can hook up on my spares days. I don’t mind having general chats with people and those who know me will know that I love the sound of me talking about the web so please feel free to use me while I am in tow.
It’s either that or a day at Niagra Falls!
You can contact me via the website.
I have never been a fan of content managed systems, but then again, I can create web pages hard coded (to a fashion - I still need our web team). That is until we created our own CMS.
Anyway, a recent project for website management and online marketing led me to use it for Creative Systems and I am a convert, having created most of these pages within about three hours yesterday.
The website is live and it’s a work in progress - I shall be adding more today. That, is the beauty of CMS for online marketing (ours anyway). Each page I create can be specific with title tags, meta descriptions, page names, headings, etc.
I will be doing a case study on this one in a couple of months time so I’ll let you know how we get on.
Due to growth (and Alex leaving) we are recruiting at The Escape:

I am currently creating the “web strategy seminar” presentation and I thought I would try a quick straw poll about how people see their own performance online.
The super quick survey (I just timed myself and it took 20 seconds) is here:

I will be publish the results on our Blog during March.
Thanks in advance.
Creativity is key to our business. The constant need to improve what we do and the way we think - almost like our very own design lab in Basingstoke.
The key to this is a central figure and that man joined The Escape yesterday.
Ian Mumford has many years experience in the creative world having worked for agencies on a number of design and marketing projects.
The quality and depth of his creative work; his passion and his ideas; drove us to appoint him as The Escape’s first Creative Director.
Welcome on board Ian.
Relate is a national charity that works to promote healthy relationships. With regional offices, we have recently launched a new site for the joint office of Basingstoke & Aldershot Relate.
The site is a simple static site with a news feed from Wordpress.
We have just launched two new websites this week.
Talk Seminars is an update that uses our new CMS solution. This means that the admin team at Talk Forty Four can create their own events, add forms and update their news feeds from an easy to use control panel.
Use Your Noggin - Another redesigned, static website for marketing. The Blog is still being worked on (live next week) and we will be transferring this to Wordpress, SEO’d and social networked to the max.
Daryll just called me, very excited, to tell me they’ve had a new lead already on the first day.
You can now subscribe to The Escape Blog by e-mail. The form is on the Blog (top of side navigation).
