Recent moves in the sharing of information across the internet has lead to a boom in XML feeds.
What's this we hear you cry? Well an XML feed is simply an easy way of making the public content on your website available to others for easy use.
In our recent work for a property sales company in Paphos we have created 2 XML feeds. The feeds output their property database in an XML format which other property websites can easily access in order to display their properties on a 3rd party website.
This how businesses easily share resources and information across websites.
Contact us if you think you could benefit from having your public data made available for easy sharing with other websites...

Thanks to you!
In nearly 5 years of designing and building websites in Paphos, Cyprus we have undertaken almost no advertising. Our little design business has grown purely by word of mouth and by one customer recommending us to the next one.
Each new project has a link to the previous one and it's been a fun journey so far.
Of course some of our customers do come across our website just by searching the internet. Try typing 'Paphos Web Design' into Google (.com or .co.uk) and you will find us percehd at the top. We do know a thing or 2 about search engine optimisation afer all.
So thanks for recommending us to your friends and family and we hope we can continue to help you.

Portfolio Focus - The Property People
Combining a beautiful looking new web design with an existing property web application has taken The Property People into the property rental marketplace in Cyprus.
Short development time has been achieved through rapid design development and utilising an existing online propety system.
A built in Content Management System in the property system allows The Property People to manage the content on the static pages of the website as well as managing the rental properties across the site.

Company Blog - Ultra Properties
Another service available from myDreamDesigns, either as a standalone service or as part of an optimisation package, is the setting up of a blog for your company. As you can see from our own site, this can then be incoproated as a news feed into your own site Home/News pages to provide fresh regular content that will be a useful sight for both your customers and the search engine spiders.
The most recent blog we have set up is for Ultra Properties, a Paphos long term rental and property sales specialist, and can be found here: http://ultraproperties.blogspot.com/

Portfolio Focus - Profile Support Services
Another relatively recent addition to the myDreamDesigns portfolio can be found at www.profilesupportservices.co.uk
A site for a UK based office and home cleaning and maintenance contractor, the existing design was starting to look a little dated, and had also disappointed on the number of visitors being delivered.
The redesign is based on a simple html template, branded within the existing company colour scheme, and incorporating an updated logo that helps give a fresher look while remaining recognisable to existing customers.
Page names were maintained wherever possible to minimise disruption for the search engine spiders, while an overhaul of Meta tag data, use of an XML Sitemap submitted to Google via their excellent webmaster tools and some carefully cultivated inbound links have helped more than double visitor numbers in only a few months.

Portfolio Focus - Dive In Cyprus
Another recent site in the myDreamDesigns portfolio, www.dive-in.com.cy was a redesign of an already existing site which after a few years of operation was due an overhaul. Dive In is an island-wide operation, with dive centres in Paphos, Larnaca and Limassol.
Technology deployed in this project includes HTML, Javascript and mootools/Lightbox, and the result is a modern fresh design which remains in keeping with existing company corporate presence and branding.
This site already enjoys a strong search engine presence, supported by a high Google PageRank score, but myDreamDesigns have still been able to help increase visitor numbers to this site, helping consolidate the company's position as the number 1 choice for diving in Cyprus.

SEO Focus
At myDreamDesigns we always impress upon our customers the importance of having a site correctly built for search engine performance, and the benefits of ongoing optimisation for the long term success of a site.
The major search engines (for the uninitiated the "Big 3" are Google, Bing (formerly MSN search) and Yahoo, with Google being by far the most prominent) and it can take several weeks or even months to list and rank a new site, but at myDreamDesigns we're perfected the art of submission to get new sites listed quickly, and will generally have the main pages of a new site listed within a few days, and returning successful searches not long after.
For existing sites built elsewhere and not performing to their full potential, we have a series of tried and tested remedial actions that can quickly turn around a non-performing site.
I always equate having a site that isn't properly optimised to spending a fortune getting an expensive company brochure designed and printed then not bothering to distribute it - a complete waste of time!
For any advice or help with search engine optimisation, myDreamDesigns are always a decent first port of call.
