Do Online Shop Spring Clean Now

Do Online Shop Spring Clean Now

Now is the time to do an online shop spring clean, says Martin Jarvis, MD of DMJ computer Services.

NB: DMJ computer Services is a Swindon-based web design and hosting company.

With premises closing due to Cornavirus and organisations relying more than ever on having an effective online presence now is the time to brush the virtual cobwebs away.

As Martin says, now is the moment for businesses to carry out simple maintenance on their websites to make them more visible. And to enhance their effectiveness.

“With the best will in the world, it’s rare we have the thought, time, or inclination to make little tweaks, tidy-ups and other incremental updates to our websites,” said Martin. And he should know – he specialises in creating and hosting Wordpress websites.

Intelligent Dialogue Training and Coaching

December 2018 Gilbert's Home Furnishings I don't know if it's astonishing or not, but it strikes me as being so, that there should be three long-standing retail businesses   within a few yards of each other. Anyway - be that as it may - having already...

Deacon’s Jewellers Old Town Swindon

Deacon’s Jewellers Old Town Swindon

It’s struck me often that Swindon’s Old Town has, within a few yards of one another, three long-standing and still family-owned businesses. That must be somewhat unusual surely? On Newport Street there’s Gilbert’s. On the corner of Bath Road and Devizes Rd there’s Blaylocks and on Wood Street of course we have Deacon & Son (Swindon) Ltd. The business was founded, by George Deacon, in 1848 as jewellers, watch and clock makers. It remains a family-run business that’s now in its sixth generation.
