Small businesses should go green

Small businesses should take advantages of all marketing strategies that are placed before them – ‘green hosting’  is one of these public relations strategies that should be exploited. The green customer is out there and they look for companies who share their responsibility for their carbon footprint.

This initiative isn’t only a marketing ploy; we encourage responsible environmental practices inside the office and practice them outside the office and we know that many of our clients feel just as strongly. Outsider Internet can provide web hosting. There are lots of companies on the web who can provide cheap options – the majority are trustworthy. We can arrange hosting either in the UK or in the USA; we have clients who host on both sides of the Atlantic. There are several options available. If you want us to sort it out for you we can give you a competitive quote. We can also build you a site – this is what we are here to do:
  • Get your project delivered within a specific time frame.
  • Ensure good search engine optimization is employed.
  • Get service from expert and experienced web and graphics designers.
  • Reduce your project costs.
  • We deliver quality all the time.
  • Customized web designs and graphics design at low rates.
  • We offer very affordable hosting and design packages.

Get yourself noticed – place a banner advert on this site for twelve months – for as little as £10.00. The money generated by this website will be added to the funds raised by the festival whose purpose is to provide music, art and entertainment for the people of North Devon. Money raised is divided between a Charity or Charities chosen by the Festival Committee and the upkeep of St Peter’s Church, West Buckland.

In 2007 that Charity was the East Buckland and West Buckland Village Hall. In 2008 that Charity was the Children’s Hospice – Little Bridge House, Fremington. In 2009 we supported ‘Help for Heroes’, a Charity formed to help those servicemen and women wounded in conflicts.

Last year (2010) we supported Shelter Box who respond instantly to natural and manmade disasters by delivering boxes of aid to those who are most in need. Each box supplies an extended family of up to 10 people with a tent and essential equipment to use while they are displaced or homeless.

Images for banners are to be no larger than 500 x 60 pixels. See the positioning of our example. If you don’t have a banner, we can make you one.

XML Sitemap protocol allows a webmaster, site owner or business to inform search engines about the pages on a website that are available for crawling. Likewise you can keep some pages ‘private’ by not listing them and providing there are no other links on your site to these private pages they will not be read by Search Engines. A search engine is not ‘magic’ you have to invite them in to crawl your pages, you have to open the door for them.
Complicated concepts when explained in a simple way make things easier to understand. Knowledge enables understanding, a schematic plan, a diagram or a map, is a key or a link to this understanding.  A Sitemap is an XML file (and this is exactly what it  is, a schematic map of your website) that lists the URLs contained on a site and contains additional information about each URL: when it was last updated, how often it changes, and how important it is in relation to other URLs in the site. This allows search engines to crawl the site more intelligently.
Once you have created an XML sitemap and have loaded it up to your site what do you do with it? Google recommends you to first submit your Sitemap using Google Webmaster Tools. This means you will be able to validate your site, claiming ownership or access rights to the site, informing them you are responsible for updating, managing or optimizing etc. This will ensure that your Sitemap details are in your Webmaster Tools. In addition to your Webmaster Tools, you can also submit (and resubmit) your Sitemap using the following methods:
• Sending a HTTP request to Google
• Including your Sitemap location in your robots.txt file
