The last few weeks has seen a barrage of negative stories dominating the news channels around the globe.
No one can argue that the outlook is a little bleak in some quarters; however, as we hope to show you, there are still some positive rays of hope out there getting lost amongst all the talk of economic downturn and recession. (more…)

Making money online is not about having the biggest site out there but giving your potential customers the very best online experience they can get.

Get all your great products together with a clearly defined and communicated brand message and you’re on to a winner!
Although web cart abandonment rates are falling year on year, businesses looking to maximise their profits online still need to work hard to ensure that their customers aren’t put off making that all important purchase. In this article, Toby Parkins, Managing Director of web development company, ukneweb, outlines some ways e-commerce owners can reduce cart abandonment and drive increased sales on the web.
There has never been a better time to explore the many free applications, software, online services and networks available on the web.
With many companies, organisations and individuals generating new content all the time it is worth taking the time to see how each may improve the way you do business, research or networking online.
In this post I have attempted to catalogue some of the many sources I have found useful in my role researching and advising companies at uknetweb on the possibilities presented by Web 2.0.
Some of the links refer to other list blogs cataloging the best of the web, others are my own selections and some are link to directories I found useful when browsing the web.
We are proud to announce that our Managing Director, Toby Parkins has just been featured in industry magazine, ‘catalogue | e-business’.
Writing on the subject of web cart abandonment, a subject close to the hearts of any e-commerce store owner, Toby suggests a range tactics that can be used to increase site sale conversions and insure higher online store profits.
The full feature will be reproduced on our blog within the coming weeks. In the meantime why not order your copy from subs@catalog-biz.com

A series of lunch seminars organised by local companies uknetweb, Coodes and Niddocks have attracted another full house as businesses in Cornwall search to understand how they can utilise their online potential.
The specially arranged short seminars have been designed to give business owners and managers a quick burst of information covering the three major areas needed for success online.
I just wanted to submit a quick post acknowledging Orange’s outstanding new ‘Unlimited’ site. For those of you who are yet to visit it check it out here.
These last few days I have fallen a little bit quiet and I can put this down to 2 reasons. 1) I have been rather busy in my day to day work and 2) I couldn’t think of anything useful to say.
While I have sat around wondering what the next blog should be I have learnt a couple of things that I thought justified maybe just a quick intermission blog to show I hadn’t fallen off that amazing balcony into the sea. (see ‘about uknetweb’)
I discovered the Flock browser at the beginning of this year after noticing that friends on Facebook were joining up as fans.
A dedicated user of the Mozilla Firefox system, I had my reservations of moving to yet another browser and all the issues in cross browser compatibility on badly developed sites I was sure to have.
On download, I found a browser well beyond my expectations and one that I believe enhances my online experience and my efficiency in carrying out research and networking online. Using the same image rendering as Firefox (according to my techie friends in the office), I don’t need to worry about any new browser compatibility issues at all.
So why do I recommend Flock?
