"Make Your Website Work" Google Ebook
Google’s new Ebook “Make Your Website Work” is out now.
It’s geared mainly towards increasing conversion rates for those who sell products online, but does give some helpful tips on how to present information to visitors and encourage them to pick up the phone or send an email.
Give it a read, you never know, there might be something new for you to learn in there which you can implement on your website.
We stumbled across this video about “thinking outside the box” and it made us chuckle. Thanks to Joseph Pelling for posting it up and brightening our day.

Remember guys, what you do with your clever little site is up to you and we’re working on including the huge wings, lasers and comfortable chairs!
I just found an article on the BBC News site about a builder in Colsterworth, UK, who expressed some careful optimism about the future, despite the recession.
Dave Ostler, who runs his own building firm, said “I’ve had to make a lot more effort to secure work,” but mentioned “no major concerns” about his family’s future. He also said that his wife Gail Ostler started her own business doing the books for local firms, after the prospects at the building firm she worked at looked to be taking a turn for the worse. “She felt with this credit crunch looming that she better not leave her destiny just in the hands of one firm so she started her own business and she has done very well in building up a client base.”
So it’s not all doom and gloom. Starting and running your own business can work, even now, and can bring in some extra cash to keep the scales balanced. This is the kind of thing we hope the Clever Little Site can really help people out with - giving start-ups a chance to hit the ground running. Check out the feature list to see what we can offer new businesses.
The Duke's new look
This month we’ve picked the Duke of Marlborough pub in St Albans for our Site of the Month. The Duke have had their clever little site for a while now, but recently decided to go for a whole new look. A new template and a new logo have really made a difference and really show how versatile a clever little site can be. If you’re ever in St Albans, stop by for a drink and don’t forget to congratulate them on their fantastic website!
