Whym Web Solutions has been operating for over a year now, during which time I’ve learnt a great deal, and I’ve decided the time is right to create a new business blog. This will be a place to learn about web design, online marketing, search engine optimisation, web hosting, and other internet related topics. Working online in web development is a continual learning experience, and one I hope to share with blog readers.

A bit of background information

I’m Dan Price and I started Whym Web Solutions in July 2007, then trading under the name of Whym Web Hosting. After picking up some basic design skills, I designed the hosting site from scratch using HTML and CSS languages. It was from here that my interest in web development really took off. Since then, I’ve worked on a number of personal sites (some still in the pipeline), whilst also building a couple of professional sites for customers including my local church and Sitting Pretty toilet hire.

I generally prefer to do the programming side of website design - everything going on in the background that makes a site function. However, programming alone is sometimes a little tedious, so balancing it with the creative side of web design is ideal.

Purpose of the blog

You may have initially wondered why I created a blog when the site already has a news area. The main difference will be that the news page is dedicated solely to keeping visitors up to date with whats happening with the business, as the blog’s going to be a space for learning, information and discussion. Eventually, I’d like this area of the site to have a wealth of information that everyone will find useful - customers and non-customers alike. I hope to write articles on a variety of subjects including web design, web hosting, search engine optimisation (SEO) and online marketing.

Some people may know that I’ve got a personal blog - this one won’t be replacing that, but rather be an addition to it, focusing more on technical side of the web.

Anyway, that rounds off today’s blog entry. I hope to keep this are up-to-date and post as often as possible, although probably not daily. That’s all folks!
