Visit to Swindon from Rachel Reeves MP

This afternoon I attended an excellent event in Swindon with Rachel Reeves MP, Hosted by Anne Snelgrove, where local business people discusses the problems facing small businesses in the current economic climate. 

Discussions about starting a new business, the effects of the current 20% VAT rate and various topics on employment were on the agenda, along with some networking time and it was a thoroughly interesting event. 

I wasn't aware until today that Swindon, where we're based, has one of the highest youth unemployment levels in the region and it's still climbing.  It was also quote alarming to hear that a number of businesses, and not a small number I'll add, are actively limiting their businesses earning potential in order to stay below the VAT threshold as even though revenue would be lower profitability increases due to the savings associated with not being VAT registered.

Are Google re-introducing the concept of "the fold" when it comes to website layout?

You may have seen a post on the Google Webmaster Central blog last week announcing a change to the way they rank pages. The change will mean that websites will be deemed more valuable (and thus achieve a higher placement in search results) the higher the ratio of content to advertising in the area “above the fold”.

To quote the Google engineer who made the announcement; “… sites that don’t have much content “above-the-fold” can be affected by this change. If you click on a website and the part of the website you see first either doesn’t have a lot of visible content above-the-fold or dedicates a large fraction of the site’s initial screen real estate to ads, that’s not a very good user experience. Such sites may not rank as highly going forward.”

After over a year of planning and development and two months of testing Workwise Portal is ready to make managing your customer information and billing your customers easier than ever before!

Workwise is perfect for freelancers, small businesses, and membership organisations who want an easy way to store all customer or member information in one place or who need information to be accessible to more than one person.

Workwise enables you to enter all of your customer contact information and assign invoices and payments to those customers and generate PDF invoices, payment receipts and statements (currently Workwise supports GBP, Euros and Dollars).

It’s also possible to enter products or services that are automatically billed either monthly, quarterly or yearly or enter items to be billed on a future date.
