Looks like our national broadcaster has got it right with their new website RTE Player, after seeing RTE Radio throw nearly €250,000 away on their latest website it’s nice to see our money being spent well and it looks like they might have got it right.

RTE Player allow you the ability to view your favourite TV programs on-line. Similar to other channels who are realizing that TV on demand is now a must and not an option.

If you miss a show, simply go to http://www.rte.ie/player/ and find the show you want to watch.

Oh and this time you can’t fast forward through the advert at the start !!! Imagine watching an advert again, wow the days before Sky Plus, how did we do it !

Make sure that in hot weather that you have a good back up of your business data, we are hearing stories of offices in Gorey that have over heated in the past few days and are now running into computer trouble.

• Switch off your pc’s at night
• Switch off the monitors at night
• Open doors and windows from eary morning
• Create a breeze
• Use fans

Back Up your Data!

Either by using online backup services or using the standard Tape back up unit. Pc’s don’t work well in the heat so make sure to keep yourself and your computers cool!

Simple answer is call us!

Otherwise you can register a domain name yourself, (remember to choose a name that is suitable), set up the web hosting pack  (remember to choose a hosting pack that is suitable), then create a web site for your company inserting the content (remember to design the site so that is correct for your needs).

Website Design is Easy !

Especially when companies are offering online tools to help you create the website yourself. Yes you do get a “Website”. But remember there are websites and there are websites. I was giving another talk today to a group of business people and one guy there had heard me give a similar talk before and it was interesting to see his reaction. He knew we did websites, but he didn’t dee the difference between us and a Transition year students style of website. . . . .

Whats is the difference I asked myself and the answer is Experience, It lead me to think about his own business and that we usually think about of companies who cut corners as being dodgy and so I googled his company and eventually found the “Webpage” I then browsed and could only wonder about what others corners they cut in the production of their products and the service they provide.

Hmm. .  whats that’s expression about First Impressions. . . .

Call Dave on 053 9430748 to set up a professional website for your business.

Their were many more products that Dave could of told the group, but Dave kept the presentation simple, precise and gave an example of a company who has used all their services and also a testimonial from the owner as to how the website was now their no 1 method of taking orders.

Keeping the PowerPoint presentation to a maximum of 6 slides meant that Dave could concentrate on speaking (as he’s not exactly shy !) rather than just reading out his presentation. Towards the end of the presentation their was a questions and answers where Dave was able for field general questions from an audience.

Bannow Cottages in Wexford approached us in May 2009 to revamp their static 4 page website that had been there for a number of years. We applaud them in being one of the first in Wexford to have put together a web presence for their business.

However, time and technology moves on and they decided to talk to Cada Media Ltd after seeing some our work next door at their neighbours business, Shielbaggan Outdoor Education Centre www.ShielbagganOEC.com they called us to make an appointment. After our first meeting we decured the project and started work on putting the correct content that will suit their tarket market and suit the owners too.

Bannow is a small town in south Wexford and is in a ideallic sceanic position to get the most of the outdoors, this location we had to represent in the amount of activities that are close to the self catering cottages.

We were happy to be approached by Phil from Fitness Functions Ltd to push one of their product lines further into the market. They hold the dealership for a unique products not often found online. Safety Padding for holding rooms ! Yes definately a first for Cada Media Ltd. We’ve come across some unusual products on the internet over the year, but this is the most unusual.

Gold Medal Safety Padding.

As this is an unusual product line we met with Phil and went through the different ways to promote their products using the internet but respecting their clients privacy. These padding cells, timeout rooms or what ever is the politically correct term of the year are widely used in Ireland and the UK.

We decided that one of the ways to move fordward was to put the content in Phil’s hands and allow him the ability to explain about their services and the application of each type of safety padding. Fitness Functions Ltd are also supplying Britain so we decided to register a UK website address too. They are also supplying mainland Europe and so the guys also own a European web address using .eu domain.

Services included:

• Domain Name Registration
• Web Hosting
• Consultancy
• Training
• Web Marketing

Best of luck with the new site, www.GoldMedalSafetyPadding.co.uk

Bing.com

Microsoft have finally launched their new search engine to compete against the search engine giant of Google Launched in May 2009 this new search engine has a similar looks to Google simple looking one line to input your search term. It also has features similar to Googles Image Search and returns the results in a way that we are all familar with. I personally think it’s too late for Microsoft to get into this market as the Internet is not really a place for their technology (in my personally opinion, I’m a linux and Unbunto and Open Source type of guy!)

If you have an opinion on their stab at this type of technology, please let me know
