Contrast that with London. When we visited recently, but we didn't come across a single free Wi-Fi site. There must be some, somewhere...

Kenneth Reid Architects is a dynamic, design-led firm of Edinburgh architects working particularly in the commercial, residential and health sectors.

We've just completed their website which showcases their imaginative and innovative work in a series of project pages.

The site is managed by the Blot Content Management System, which has a special module developed for projects.

So, in addition to managing their page text and graphics, news items and job vacancies, they can add and amend projects in different sector categories - allowing prospective clients to quickly see relevant examples of their work.

Google own such a position of power these days that your site's ranking on the search engine can make a huge difference to your business' success. Some businesses have even folded when their sites have 'disappeared' from Google.

This, coupled with the fact that only Google insiders know the ranking algorithm and its subtleties, makes keeping an eye on your ranking a potentially fraught occupation.

Recently, the rankings have had some major fluctuations back and forth, which is a little unusual.

Are you concerned? Is there anything you can do?

Blot Design is a member of the most successful business networking group in the world.

Each week we meet on a Thursday morning for breakfast and to exchange and refer business between our members. It's a great way of doing business (only one company from any business area can join, so there is no competition between members).

Any business is welcome to attend, but we're particularly looking for visitors in these categories:
