The slow and stubborn demise of Internet Explorer 6 (IE6)4 November 2009

There's been a slew of articles and stats over the last few months detailing Internet Explorer 6's continuing but stubborn decline and some outlining that IE6 has finally been surpassed by Firefox according to the latest worldwide market share numbers. Whilst not the final nail in IE6's coffin, it's certainly being seen as much welcomed milestone toward IE6's final iternment.

Personalisation

Personalisation2 October 2009

Online Personalization is regularly listed as a 'Top Trend' - one to watch for 'this year'. The truth is that it's been around for several years and it's regularly on 'trend watches' not because it hasn't yet happened but because it's already arrived and is still developing. It's embedded into so many instances of our online existence. From entry-level welcome messages once you've logged into your favourite forum, through to behaviour based recommendations from your favourite online bookstore and on, to the tailoring of email marketing campaigns (and all points in-between including even making your Subject Lines work that little bit harder for you).

Tincan Launches Hartlepool Now Site

Tincan Launches Hartlepool Now Site13 April 2009

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Hartlepool Now site in conjunction with Hartlepool council.

Tincan`s Ben Holliday who managed and implemented the project talks here...

Why was the site commissioned?

BH - The council commissioned the site to become the hub for news, events and services for the local community. They wanted to create a separate internet property which wouldn't get lost amongst other local government internet sites.

What goals did the site have?

BH - The main goal was to disseminate information held at the council to the local community and for that to be accessible to everyone, irrespective of their internet experience.

What did we do for them?

BH - Firstly we designed the structure and came up with the feature set. Importantly we structured it to cope with growth in the future without having new investment. We took their new offline branding and translated this online. We also placed search functionality at the center of the site. The site was built to AA accessibility standards.

What does the project show potential clients?

BH - Above all its a good example of Webbler `out of the box` functionality. Webbler can easily facilitate this kind of project without the need for customisation and it can be achieved cost and time efficiently. It was also a good collaborative effort to ensure a successful launch.
