Are you not getting the results you want from your Web site? Do you want to know how to get to the top of Google?
Dedoko has recently launched a whole new package of SEO options. Whether is on-page optimisation, in-bound link building, or Adwords campaign management that you are interested in then it is well worth you giving us a call.

Dedoko Launches New Web Site

Well it took and while and has long been a case of "cobler's shoes", that is, although we are in business to develop and design websites, it seems impossible to find the time to build one for ourselves!
So, a year after starting we have finally got there! You can take a look at our new site on www.dedoko.com. There are some nice examples of client site in our portfolio.
If you like what you see and are in the market for a new website, or maybe a new site design or makeover, then please do get in touch.

Getting to Internet Explorer Standalones to Work - Finally

After looking many times, and generally finding Microsoft particularly unhelpful... I have finally found someone that seems to have built a great set of Internet Explorer Standalones!

What does this mean?

Well, when developing web sites we need to do browser testing because different browsers sometimes render pages incorrectly (Firefox renders things correctly, and is highly recommended). However, nearly all the problems in this area exist with Windows Internet Explorer and particularly between versions 6, 7 and now 8. But when it comes to testing and checking Microsoft won't let you install more than one version on a PC - install 7 and it replaces 6 etc.! not helpful.

For a while we have used the Tredosoft Multile IEs solution which has been pretty good but there are a few minor issues with it that have led to me not fully trusting certain things. Today though I found an alternative that, on the face of it appears to do what it says on the tin!

If this is of interest try out Final Builds - Internet Explorer Collection - it even has the Web Developer Bar built in - great!

Well worth a try. Am interested to hear of any other web developers, designers and programmers have experience of it and if you've found any quirks when browser testing.
