Welcome to the November Newsletter
It's been a busy 3 months since our last Newsletter, with lots of new and exciting things happening here at NSDesign including new products, upgrades, awards and acquisitions. Enjoy!
Introducing NSMail
NSMail is our online email newsletter tool, which allows you to create effective and professional email campaigns, quickly and easily. You simply add the content, choose the recipients, and schedule the delivery time. Stop struggling with the likes of Outlook, Eudora or Entourage, and let NSMail deliver results. Our own email newsletter that you are currently reading was produced using the same system. More details at: http://www.nsdesign.co.uk/services/nsmail
Further Acquisitions
A warm welcome to all our new customers previously with "JustaHost". NSDesign Ltd recently acquired the UK customer base of JustaHost and we look forward to providing you all with the first class service that existing NSDesign customers are used to! This acquisition (our 2nd in 12 months) helps further establish us as one of the leading UK providers of small business hosting solutions.
Quality Assurance
All new web design clients now benefit from a quality assurance guarantee, with all sites subject to strict quality guidelines that must be satisfied before any "handover" to the client. This ensures the finished site meets all the required accessibility, usability, design, and technical "best practice" that we strive for. You can view our "50 Point Check-list" at: http://www.nsdesign.co.uk/design/quality
Awards and Recognition
The past few months has seen NSDesign nominated for a number of prestigious awards that we're delighted to have been considered for.
In Setember, our NSBuilder System were shortlisted for "Best product 2006" in the Scottish Software awards. While we didn't win the award, losing out to the likes of global giants JP Morgan and Axios Systems means we can't complain, and indeed it was a pleasure to get some recognition among such great names in the industry.
In addition, just last week we received an honourable mention at the ROCCO Business Awards, set-up to promote business excellence and innovation in technology. Acknowledgement was given to our work at the awards presentation night hosted by Fred MacAulay.
We're also currently shortlisted for the prestigious "Creative Entrepreneur of the Year" award, announced later this week. Fingers crossed!
Server Upgrades
As already reported via our service announcements, we've recently implementing a few server upgrades for the benefit of everyone.
We've added support for PHP5 on all Linux servers. This runs alongside PHP4, and will allow our many PHP programmers to take advantage of the new features available. Memory upgrades have also taken place, improving server performance as a result. Lastly just a reminder that next week we will be upgrading our email systems, resulting in the removal of NeoMail (a webmail interface). Customers in the habit of using NeoMail should begin to consider using one of the alternative webmail systems available.
If you have any questions on any of the above items, please don't hesitate to get in touch, and as always we appreciate your feedback.
Until the next time.....
