Business - we are so green !

Contact us for some really good deals on ‘green hosting’ and web optimization. Our web sites are hosted on wind powered servers and we are located in the North Devon (UK) area, by the surfing coast of Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton.

We can build you a green blog on one of our green servers. A blog can be private, as in most cases, or it can be for business purposes. A blog can be used internally within a company to enhance the communication and culture in a corporation or used externally for marketing, branding or public relations purposes. One of our favorite tools is WordPress. This free blogging tool is as an easy and extremely effective way of enhancing your web presence and business. To maintain a successful blog it is important to know your subject and to constantly expand your own personal knowledge. A blog is another marketing strategy used for increasing a site’s relevance, by second guessing what people search for when using a search engine. It is important to write your posts using ‘good’ keywords.

Here is someone we are helping!

Whatever happened to the Space Age? by This Window

My heroes have grown old with me or they have died – maybe their death has been a way to freeze time, stop the aging process – not only for them but for me also?

Beauty and the Beast - painting 2011, a painting by This Window

Juxtaposing words together is a bit like creating a collage. Creating good solid business keywords however, is not a decorative process it is a complicated exercise. The mind always tries to create a narrative when confronted with the written word. The juxtaposition of arbitrary phrases etc. will always tease and trick the mind into rationalizing what it is in front of it and attempt to make physical
and world references - in other words try to make sense of what it is trying to analyze. These are the same processes that are used in understanding art Continue reading ?

Using keywords is part of SEO. Search engine optimization also involves several other processes; fine tuning a web site’s coding, presentation (how text, images and content are presented) and structure (including fixing problems that could prevent search engines indexing and fully exploring a site). It is important to avoid techniques such as black hat or spamdexing and keyword stuffing. We can help...

North Devon Web can help you cope with the demands made on your resources. We can guide through the pitfalls - even owning a business website has become an environmental issue!

When you buy a new sofa or maybe a painting you always (in your mind's eye) judge and appraise the object first and ask simple questions like: Is it the right size? Will it fit in with my decors? Does this object make a statement about me? Am I being Green? Making decisions about your blog or website uses those same simple questions.

Eco-friendly hosting services, and optimisation services that work within green marketing has become a vital requirement for some ethical businesses. Not only are there constant pressures being placed on businesses to compete, within the real world and the virtual world, legislation and green issues are forcing them to adjust. Maintaining a successful business gets harder every day, the pressures and competition increase and the days get longer.

Having an environmentally-friendly site is a great accomplishment and a great selling point. Let your site visitors know your site has gone green by letting us build you a low carbon web site. We can build you a website that will cost you pennies. We can update your existing website once (or if you like daily). Contact us outlining your requirements.

Green hosted business design package

We are based in North Devon and we can recommend going to 11 The Quay in Ilfracombe, North Devon. The restaurant has been re-opened with a new menu, redecorated and has several new priceless artworks on the walls. Great food – great art.

Duchamp: I would have wanted to work, but deep down I’m enormously lazy. I like living, breathing, better than working. I don’t think that the work I’ve done can have any social importance whatsoever in the future. Therefore if you wish, my art would be that of living: each second, each breath is a work which is inscribed nowhere, which is neither visual nor cerebral. It is a sort of constant euphoria.

Bright: I would have wanted to work, but deep down I’m enormously lazy. I like living, breathing, better than working. I don’t think that the work I’ve done can have any social importance whatsoever in the future. Therefore if you wish, my art would be that of living: each second, each breath is a work which is inscribed nowhere, which is neither visual nor cerebral. It is a sort of constant futility.

A body of work based around “Beauty and the Beast” a classic tale of love, rejection and prejudice, where the beauty is the beast and the beast is the beauty.

Green design decisions for your blog?

Presentation is one of the most important things to consider when you are trying to sell yourself or a product. It is always important to make design decisions for your blog or website using the same criteria as you would in the real world. When you buy a new sofa or maybe a painting you always (in your mind's eye) judge and appraise the object first and ask simple questions like: Is it the right size? Will it fit in with my decors? Does this object make a statement about me? Am I being Green? Making decisions about your blog or website uses those same simple questions.

Sex creates business

Over the past few decades, the use of increasingly explicit sexual imagery in consumer-oriented print, TV and Internet advertising has become almost commonplace. This is not a new phenomenon, the female form has been used to sell products and services ever since man invented 'the market place'. Sexuality is considered one of the most powerful tools of marketing and particularly advertising. Post-advertising sales response studies have shown it can be very effective for attracting immediate interest but are we becoming immune to sexy ads and are these adverts becoming impotent?

This image is a version of a lithograph I did in 1978. To download it (high resolution) click on the image. This print was manipulated using Photoshop in 2002 and exhibited in 2004. The original lithograph, which is framed and signed is for sale at £85.00. If you want to buy it contact me.

If you download it, print it off and then mail it to me I will sign it and return it if you send me the postage costs.

Background info: 1978: I once had a girlfriend called Anne who wore ‘Charlie’ perfume. Every time we came close I sneezed. I was allergic to her bottled smell…

During the 1980‘s I was involved with the Mail Art scene. Mail art is a worldwide cultural movement that began in the early 1960‘s and involves sending visual art (but also music, sound art, poetry, etc.) through the international postal system. Mail Art is also known as Postal Art or Correspondence Art. The term networking is often used to describe Mail Art activities, based on the principles of barter and equal one-to-one collaboration.

After a peak in popularity in the late 1980‘s and early 1990‘s, the Mail Art phenomenon has gradually migrated to the Internet, whose “social networks” were largely anticipated and predicted by the interactive processes of postal collaborations. Nevertheless, Mail Art is still practiced in the new Millennium by a loose planetary community involving thousands of mailartists from the most varied backgrounds.

Q U O T E : “The perfect conduit for This Window’s music and art was the Cassette Culture and Mail Art scenes. These networks of artists and musicians encouraged an early form of open source cooperation, with projects being shared and created. This methodology fitted in with This Window’s approach to creativity.”
