Greetings from freezing cold London

[Alterity]

Hello all

I have just stumbled onto this interesting-looking forum and thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Marc, and I am managing director of a web design and consultancy business in London called Alterity. We specialise in helping small businesses turn their web strategy into a profit stream, with one of our most popular products being a free one hour website assessment consultation.

I'll be browsing regularly and posting periodically, but please feel free to contact me if there's anything you think I can help with.

Oh, and does anyone know how to set up signatures??

Welcome Marc,

Sunny here in Essex.

You can add a signature after 15 posts and 30 days (intro posts don't count). It's to stop the spammers and all those only interested in self-promotion.

Can't find 'alterity' on google, unless you are the stress management people!

Looks like you've spread the tropical Essex heat over here a bit now, cheers for that!

We're not high up for Alterity yet as we only recently changed the company name - as you know, it takes a while to get up the rankings. If you google Alterity web design you'll get a better result...

Having said that, stress management could be a useful business to branch off into!

Did you used to be JDAi then?

Structural tables?

[Alterity]

Nope, that's somebody else. We used to be called Omnia Media.

In which case you have a plagrism problem or something.

I was looking at your portfolio and it says you have built a site for Parador Properties. In the site footer it says the site was built by JDAi and they have it in their portfolio.... might be worth a quik email.

Are bandwag and EnviroConsult live yet?

Ah, no you've misunderstood. It explains in the case study that this was a consultancy project rather than a design project. However, looking at it now I can see that it does suggest we did the site... I'll get that altered.

Bandwag I believe are still waiting for funding, though in the current climate I think it would be a marvellous feat for them to get it. EnviroConsult haven't got round to hosting yet and the owners are away, so hopefully it'll be live shortly.

Sorted.

There was a spate of spammers a while back from India all offering SEO and design services - and they all had the same sites in their portfolios! Best bit was one of them who claimed to be international with offices in the UK and USA. A quick check on google maps revealed the UK office to be a flat in Solihull.

Anyway, hope you enjoy the forums -there's some good discussions and whilst not the business forum in the world, what you end up with the quality rather than quantity.
