At Noostyle Web Design Belfast, we  believe that even fledgling businesses, with a limited budget,  have a right to a helping hand up the online ladder.  That's why we have created our 'starter package'.  We have everything you need to look professional and be easily found in the search engines.

Here's what's included:]]> info@noostyle.com (Noostyle) Fri, 03 Feb 2012 03:55:29 +0000 http://www.noostyle.com/web-design-belfast-blog/145-web-design-for-small-business.html http://www.noostyle.com/web-design-belfast-blog/145-web-design-for-small-business.html Just like you, Noostyle Web Design is a fellow small business. That's makes us perfectly placed to understand your online needs.  After all, we have to market our own business in just the same ways that we will market yours.

As we have said in various other articles, 70% of potential customers go online when looking for a local business.  This figure is up 9% since 2009 and will continue to grow.  Not only will we build you a beautiful and feature rich website, we'll also make sure that those potential customers can find your website.  Having a website without good search engine and social network marketing is pretty similar to having a DVD player, but no television.  You need both.]]> info@noostyle.com (Noostyle) Fri, 27 Jan 2012 21:27:57 +0000 http://www.noostyle.com/web-design-belfast-blog/142-diasable-google-personalised-search.html http://www.noostyle.com/web-design-belfast-blog/142-diasable-google-personalised-search.html Did you now that google returns personalised search engine results? This basically means that if you type 'Web Design Northern Ireland', you'll see different results than me because google knows I type this often and click the same link (Noostyle) often. Google then helps me by ranking my 'favourite' sites higher in the search engines as a measure of convenience.]]> info@noostyle.com (Noostyle) Mon, 23 Jan 2012 00:20:29 +0000 http://www.noostyle.com/web-design-belfast-blog/141-friends-school-lisburn-video.html http://www.noostyle.com/web-design-belfast-blog/141-friends-school-lisburn-video.html Friends and clients often ask us for suggestions on how to promote their websites, companies or orgaisations in a cost effective manner.  The absense of a huge marketing budget was no barrier to the students and staff at Friends School Lisburn who subsituted cash for an altogether more valuable asset: imagination.

This is one of the best examples of viral marketing we have ever seen. Have a look and embrace their enthusiasm and creativity.  Sometimes the masters must learn from the students.  Literally.

Pretty impressive, huh?  Recently, we launched a cost effective promotional video also - although we readily admit that the Friends School LipDub video is in a league of it's own.  Well done to all involved.

We went along to meet them at their fabulous Cherryvalley location and were absolutely stunned at the level of care and attention they paid to their residents.  We are giving Orchard House a special mention because it is the type of place that resotres your faith in humanity.

Have a read about Orchard House Nursing Home Belfast in their own words. We challenge you not to be impressed.  You can read more about the web design by visiting the Orchard House : Nursing Home Belfast page in our portfolio.

Have a nice day folks and remember that there are really nice people out there.  Be positive :-)

If you would like a website like this, feel free to get in touch and we'll do our best to help.

The Joomla CMS is useful for building and updating small business websites or larger corporate websites - when Wordpress just isn't powerful enough. It is the true, industry standard content management system.]]> info@noostyle.com (Noostyle) Sat, 24 Dec 2011 14:28:13 +0000 http://www.noostyle.com/web-design-belfast-blog/138-solution-to-k2-items-disappearing.html http://www.noostyle.com/web-design-belfast-blog/138-solution-to-k2-items-disappearing.html I have been asked by three different web designers this week how to fix the 

foreach() on line 80 error

which makes K2 items disappear from the Joomla Content Management System. Here's how to fix it by Noostyle Web Design Belfast.

The Problem

Line 80 is a foreach() loop trying to pull data from your database. You'll need to have something like PhpMyAdmin installed and you'll need permission to run SQL queries against your database.  If you are worried or unsure about this, contact your web designer or web host.

Go into PhpMyAdmin, click 'databases', choose your database then click on jos_k2_items from the list.  It should show the following error:

 #145 - Table './jos_k2_items' is marked as crashed and should be repaired

The Solution:

In phpMyAdmin:
1. Select the database in use
2. Click to browse the table "jos_k2_items"
3. Click on "SQL" tab
4. Type "REPAIR TABLE jos_k2_items" in the query box and click on 'Go'.

The query box should now tell you that the action has exectued successfully.

NOTE: the default prefix for Joomla database tables is "jos_". If you altered this during installation, then you'll need to change the command 'REPAIR TABLE (name of the table with your K2 articles)'

Good luck.
