2012 has seen This Is Media produce 3 websites for Derbsyhire County Cricket Club, 2 being redesigns while the 3rd is a brand new site.

Up first was a complete redesign for the Official Derbyshire County Cricket Club website – www.derbyshireccc.com, that involved moving the site to a new development platform and changing the design to bring it inline with the latest club branding.

Alongside this was the launch of a brand new new website for The County Ground, Derby – www.thecountygroundderby.com, which details the full range of facilities available for Corporate Events, Celebrations, Gala Dinners and Weddings.

Finally, the official Online Store – www.dcccshop.com, received a redesign and upgrade to the eCommerce platform, launching just as the new range of Derbyshire County Cricket Club clothing hit the shelves.

These 3 sites have certainly kept us on our toes here at This Is Media over the past few months, so please take a look and if you get the chance let us know what you think!

We have now noticed that if we optimize a clients main website using our optimizing software and place it on a separate .mobi domain then every time the main website is updated so is the optimized version. This method saves the customer a lot of money on the per page design costing whilst still giving the mobile user all the essential features of the main website, but in a stripped down version.

With an automatic redirect in place on the main website to the mobile optimsed version it then makes no difference which site is accessed on a mobile device. The website can then be built on the fly to fit each mobile no matter which make of mobile or mobile operating system is being used.

You can see this in action if you visit www.thisismedia.co.uk on your smartphone or scan the QR code below.

We would welcome any other ideas from people on the most cost effective way to optimise websites? Free bottle of Whisky or your favourite tipple (priced up to £50 – not much left in petty cash after Christmas) for any ideas that help our clients save time and money.
