Special Post – SitePoint Article Visitors
As I’m sure you can imagine, when you get an article featured on the top of the home page of SitePoint.com (one of the world’s leading web developer resources) you tend to get a lot of visitors to your site. I’ve called into the office after going for a run and found quite a few emails from readers which alerted me to the article being live.
So thanks for those.
I’ll point to a few of what I hope are interesting bits around this site and other resources that could be useful.
Useful Resources
I’ll provide these links in a sequence to what I mentioned in the article.
The holiday resort Case Study I mentioned – A simple step-by-step example of taking an accommodation web site from 0 sales to 115 in 8 short weeks. Includes full site data.
Please note – This case study is in 
format for viewing with Adobe’s Acrobat Reader.
The Ex-Champion Athlete
Pat Carroll is one of our clients and has been for a few years. Pat was one of Australia’s best every marathon runners (PB of 2:09:39) and is a legend within the industry.
Anyway, Pat and I talk fairly regularly on web strategy and he’s always appreciative of our feedback. Pat has seen our ‘Brag Wall’ a number of times and was kind enough to contribute with the fantastic signed singlet you see here.
It makes a real impact on people coming into the office.
