Web design and development from Positive Web Design

(PRWEB UK) 11 November 2011

The vision at Positive Web Design has always been to push boundaries and make a diverse range of essential web services available to businesses of all ambitions and budgets. At a managerial meeting this week the firm decided to change its approach towards marketing its website design packages by agreeing to push forward with an aggressive promotional campaign that highlights the importance of the basic design elements behind a company’s online image.

Positive Web Design has outlined their intentions to shift their optimisation efforts towards achieving higher search engine rankings for search terms such as ‘website branding’ and ‘logo design’ in order to make consumers aware of the fact that professional web design goes beyond the traditional build process. These kinds of services will be promoted alongside standard development options to bring consumers greater choice and better awareness of contemporary website design procedures.

Site branding is a completely bespoke yet often understated design service that’s fast becoming accepted as an essential part of any web development package. By designing logos, construction banners and even building animations, businesses are creating a brand that is visually memorable and are working to ensure that their site leaves a strong impression in the consumers’ mind.

Ben Austin, Managing Director behind the Positive Media Group, explains the recent decision in this statement:

“Moving forward, we’ll offer our branding services to our prospective clients from day one. This means that our customers will be able to take the costs of the services into consideration straightaway and will be aware of the huge number of options that are available to them, both now and further down the line. In our experience, site branding is a job that’s normally considered after the initial build – we believe that in order to make the most of their new domain, webmasters need to think about the image of their business well in advance and move away from thinking of branding as a luxury add-on service. Nowadays it’s more of a necessity”.

Mr Austin also goes on to say that the decision from his company is bound to affect competitors’ efforts: “From our point of view, this move is also likely to encourage other web design agencies to reconsider their approach towards their packages. We’ve always been trendsetters and look forward to introducing the idea of professional yet affordable site branding to the UK industry as a whole”.

Positive Web Design is a division of SEO Positive Limited. Based in Chelmsford, Essex, Positive Web Design is able to offer a wide range of web services to clients across the UK and beyond. This website design agency has extensive experience with clients from all industries and specialises in professional web design projects, so call their sales consultants today on 0800 088 6000 for more information or to obtain quotes.

Tallahassee, FL (PRWEB) November 04, 2011

With the theme, Disaster Safety: One Movement, Many Voices, more than 100 of the nation’s leading experts in disaster safety, property loss mitigation and weather outcomes met last week at the 2011 Annual Meeting of the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes® (FLASH) in Lake Buena Vista, FL.

FLASH kicked off the meeting with the unveiling of five new scholarships toward higher education in disaster mitigation. For the next three years, one $ 1,500 annual scholarship will be awarded to master and doctorate-degree students for various areas of study related to disaster mitigation including risk management, structural engineering and construction, financial services, meteorology and social science.

Craig W. Tillman, President of WeatherPredict Consulting Inc., presented the report, “Impact 2011: Examining a Year of Catastrophes through the Lens of Resiliency,” which outlined how improving the world’s resiliency to severe weather and natural disasters depends on how well we integrate our built environment with our natural one.

“It’s often said that natural disasters are man-made – our fragilities are directly related to how well or unwell our built environment performs in critical times,” Tillman said. “This report provides a platform for recognizing common themes and, ultimately, a framework to understand how resilience can work to improve communities worldwide.”

Experts on flood, wildfire, hurricane and earthquake safety described the latest resources available to educate families about disaster preparedness and mitigation. Panel members included representatives of ShakeOut, FloodSmart, FEMA, National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program (NEHRP), the FLASH Great Hurricane Blowout and the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) – which will soon release an assessment tool for homeowners to evaluate their own wildfire risk and learn how to mitigate hazards.

“Homes that don’t ignite don’t burn,” said Monica Phillips, Mechanical Engineer, Research and Development Engineering Directorate, SRNL. “Our new Wildfire Wizard software tool allows the user to learn how to protect ignition of a home if a wildfire comes through.”

In the first of three keynote addresses, Craig Fugate, Administrator of FEMA, said that mitigation resiliency is becoming as important to emergency management as it is to protect, prepare for, respond to and recover from national hazards.

“We’re putting mitigation back into the lexicon of how we protect the nation from hazards,” Fugate said. “This is important to building a truly resilient nation. If you’re resilient, you have a credible response to disaster that allows for quick recovery.”

Fugate said a national mitigation framework would be more systemic and would look at those things that could be done at the front end – before disaster strikes – rather than after the fact.

A tornado safe room was among the latest in disaster safety products featured at the FLASH Innovations in Product Technologies Showcase. Visitors to the showcase also had a chance to meet and discuss firsthand with Kevin and Sarabeth Harrison of Athens, AL, their frightening tale how their custom-made tornado safe room saved them and their two children from a direct hit by a killer tornado last April. Photographs have been seen all over the world of the Harrison family emerging from their safe room amid total destruction immediately after the tornado passed.

Social media experts from USAA, the Salvation Army and FEMA described how they’re leveraging web-based technologies to successfully communicate with their audiences. Kevin Smith, Director of Emergency Disaster Services for the Salvation Army discussed how his organization uses social media to communicate in times of crisis response and recovery.

“From an emergency management perspective, failing to be engaged in social media today will inhibit your ability to perform in a disaster,” said Smith. But social media presence alone isn’t enough, Smith said, adding that it’s also important to measure impact across the web, utilizing one of the several services available online that measures influence. “If you don’t know what your footprint is you’re probably not engaged.”

Top researchers and engineers provided a preview of the most recent advancements and research shaping disaster preparedness. Among them was Jay Baker, PhD, Geography Department, Florida State University, who spoke of his studies on how and why the public responds to hurricane threats.

“Our current research involves interviews with coastal residents during actual hurricane threats and surveys to help understand how people arrive at their beliefs regarding their vulnerability to hurricanes,” said Dr. Baker, who is currently assisting Florida to update its behavioral assumptions for hurricane evacuation plans statewide.

In a second keynote address, Elizabeth Hausler, PhD, Founder and CEO of the non-profit social enterprise Build Change, said earthquakes don’t kill people; poorly built buildings do.

“The three main challenges to building safe houses in developing countries are technology, money and people,” Dr. Hausler said. “Earthquake-resistant construction will become common if the technology is widely known, available and culturally accepted,” she added.

A final panel discussion involved recent government policies and programs having the biggest impact on the disaster safety movement. Steven Cooper, Deputy Regional Director of the National Weather Service (NWS), spoke of the Weather-Ready Nation campaign to save lives and improve preparedness during extreme weather conditions.

“Why build a weather-ready nation?” Cooper asked. “This past year, we’ve had 10 billion-dollar weather events – hurricanes, tornadoes, drought, wildfires, flooding and blizzards. A weather-ready nation will enhance community resilience; empower Americans to make faster, smarter and life-saving decisions; transform response to extreme weather; and save more lives and livelihoods.”

Closing remarks were made by Bill Read, Director of NOAA’s National Hurricane Center (NHC), who provided an update on hurricane activity this current season, with a special focus on Hurricane Irene. He also discussed NHC’s efforts to expand its forecasts and provide more useful information regarding storm surges to help people better understand their vulnerabilities to hurricanes.

“Our mission is to save lives, mitigate property loss, and improve economic efficiency by issuing the best watches, warnings, forecasts and analyses of hazardous tropical weather, and by increasing understanding of these hazards,” Read said.

“Bringing together the industry’s most influential and talented minds to share best practices is essential to making America and our world more disaster-resilient,” said Leslie Chapman-Henderson, President and CEO of FLASH.
