Problem with our Portfolio
Category: news | Leave a comment
Blimey we seem to have created a bit of a wave on the internet this afternoon, regarding a template that we have used to create our Portfolio pages here on creativesuit.
When we were adding websites to the portfolio, we used as many people do when they are dealing with a static website, a template system. You just retype the text, change the pictures and away you go, a new page is done. In our haste we appear to have left the words “Search Engine Optimisation” in a lot of the clients, that don’t actually have any search engine optimisation done to them. It was one of those things where we intended to go back and do them properly, like we intended to remove the entire box proclaiming keyword postions, as this was put in to flesh the design out a bit, and quite frankly is a pain in the ass to update, as everyone knows that Google these days bounces round like Zebedee. The site was built a few years ago, when Googles ranking were a bit more stable and we discussed nice things like Google Dances, not nasty things and name calling.
We never have had, or never would have an SEO portfolio. That would be madness, we like to keep our relationships with our Search clients private, and we always will do.
Thanks for the Twitter user @thehodge for spotting the error. We are really sorry if any confusion has been caused by this. To be honest, many of us, you include, dear reader, have probably made mistakes. Mistakes that you hope you cant forget or wished you didnt make to start with. This is one of them…
As a company, we take on board that we are handling people’s work and if we offer SEO to them, we try and deliver just that. I will personally make sure that we revisit clients sites and make sure we are doing the best we can.
Ironically, we’re a few weeks away from a completely new company website, which drops everything that has been complained about anyway.
