Microsoft Bing features photo of north Norfolk

I’ve been keeping a close eye on Microsoft’s search engine, Bing for some time. I still find Google far more reliable in terms of producing successful search results, but Bing is certainly a pleasure for the eyes. It features a daily photo, often taken by professional photographers, often in the UK (but can be anywhere [...]

The Google logo gets even bigger (again)!

Unbelievable – the Google logo has grown even bigger! During the last few days the world saw the launch of Google’s new Instant Search feature, designed to speed up searching whilst frightening every search engine optimisation specialist on the planet. The new Instant Search feature seems fine to me (when I’m an ‘end user’), but [...]

Summer Holidays 2010

It’s that time of the year again, thankfully. We like to close the Josh.biz offices for the last 2 weeks of August so we can all have a well deserved break and renew our batteries, ready for a fresh new business year to begin (we were founded in September 2005). Our past year has been [...]

Meet Lucy Loveheart

Be number one on Google!

The question we get asked more often than any other is ‘how can I make my website appear number one on Google?‘ So this post contains the answer in a nutshell.

The site has been running since 2007 and over the past 3 years has invested in providing comprehensive facilities.

New .co domains could be a waste of time

Yet another domain type has become available, this time .co – direct from Columbia. Registration companies are hailing it as another ‘must-have’ domain but we’re not so convinced. Google have just announced that owners of websites using a .co domain will be able to target users internationally. There was speculation that it could only be [...]

Holt Area Partnership website launched

The Holt Area Partnership’s focus is to improve the quality of life for people in Holt and the surrounding area. The area includes 20 rural parishes, containing over 25 villages in North Norfolk. Their original website was very lacking and did not create the required professionalism and credibility for the Partnership. The new website offers all the [...]

Britain gears up for VAT increase

When the emergency budget is announced on 22nd June, a VAT rise is widely anticipated. Experts are suggesting a rise to 20% and possibly higher. But of course we’ll have to wait until the day to have this confirmed. Fortunately, Josh.biz is not a VAT registered business so this won’t effect our service costs. Currently, [...]
