Think before you Move that page – 301 Redirects Explained

September 11th, 2009, by Paul Zanelli

As a website owner, there may well come a time when you want to reorganise pages or sections within the site. Since many modern websites and ecommerce sites are built around Content Management Systems this is a relatively easy task and in many cases, one you can do yourself.

What you need to be mindful of however is the fact that your website will have been crawled by search engine robots and its pages indexed accordingly. These pages will have a rank in the search engine results and could well be driving quality traffic and visitors to your site. Providing these visitors find what they are looking for then a conversion will be made and you will make money.

Moving these pages without planning ahead will likely result in one of two scenarios:

Your website may still show up in the search engine rankings but when viewed, return a 404 page not found error (because you have moved the page and it can no longer be found).
Your rankings for those pages may disappear completely from the search engines, which means potentially missing out on business.

Internet Explorer 8: Compatibility View

September 2nd, 2009, by Rob Holden

If you or any of your customers have recently updated your Internet Explorer to version 8 you may experience display exceptions with web sites that you have been using, like misaligned text, images, or text boxes. This is due to Internet Explorer 8 interpreting web page code differently than its predecessor. This could be likened to a non HD Ready television being unable to display High Definition programmes or a non digital television not being capable of receiving digital transmissions once analogue signals cease to be broadcast.

We would therefore advise that you check the customer experience on your own web site using Internet Explorer 8. If you feel that you are experiencing these display exceptions, please contact us and we will investigate further and advise accordingly.

In the meantime, simply press the new Compatibility View button if you see display problems on a website. It’s located next to the Refresh button on the Address Bar.
