To keep up with existing projects, we have now hired a new WordPress Designer pushing our size of dedicated WordPress designers/developers/coders to 7.
This gives us a very good team to manage your wordpress website.
WordPress 3.2 is out which means that our team can now build custom structure for your website. This version brings heaps of improvements. Please view the video below for more details.
Google has just launched a revamped Site Links system on its Organic and in some cases Paid Search Results.
Please view the latest search results for DzineClub. Instead of just being links under the Main website title, there is now a url and a description of the pages in the links. We have seen upto 10 links on a page and with that the result seems to take almost half the page.
How does Google pick sitelinks? There is no definitive answer but runs an alogrithm which picks the specific links on the website.
For all paid traffic, Google has also started using site links. Please view example when searching for BMW in Adwords.
The old site links are now coming up in paid search. We are actually more stoked that we have 10 site links while BMW has 6 🙂
This is going to cut traffic for any company which is in 2nd spot and so on.
Also this makes Paid search more valuable for businesses because the paid listing are comparable to organic listings and will more likely make a customer click on it. This means that lower end companies are better off investing in Adwords than Full on SEO.
Look for your brand and make sure that you have site links coming in your list.
Meta descriptions are really important now so that your visitors can see the descriptions on your inside pages. If there is a link that you would rather not have in your listings, remove that using Google Webmaster Tools

We have just added a dedicated Magento Developer to the team to make changes to the code of Magento and customise Magento stores to clients requirements.
We have been building Magento Stores for Clients since last year and have produced heaps of stores in that time. Currently we are in the process of building these Magento stores
Please subscribe to our newsletter for more Magento Updates
We are on target to deliver a new WordPress website every week until the end of the year. Which means that we will be delivering 22 WordPress websites this year.
Please keep a look out for our blog as these sites go live and also our blog post which features all the WordPress websites that we have done.

At DzineClub we work with multiple CMS platforms to make sure that we are in touch with all the latest technologies. We have dedicated staff who work with platforms such as Magento, Joomla, Drupal and WordPress.
Our CMS of choice is WordPress (for websites) and Magento Commerce (for Online stores) and it consists of our bigger team of development. The reasons we pick WordPress and Magento is because these platforms are easier to install, develop, deploy and improve on.
This means that as a client you get speedier development, lower total cost of ownership, Quicker updates and integrations. If you need a design refresh in a few months, you don’t have to worry about the content, it will just be a matter of putting a new skin on top.
That, a CMS that is a perfect fit today might not be the best in a few years. This was the case with Joomla a few years ago and now WordPress has taken the crown from our prespective.
Some of the things we look for in a CMS before developing are:
Based on this, we make a recommendation for a CMS for a client.
We just came across this infograph by the guys at Devious Media on the 3 open source platforms. Our summary follows after the graphic based on the infograph. Please note that we wont be discussing Joomla as we don’t see a definite future with Joomla.
We recommend using WordPress for most sites and have worked with a large number of sites where we have customised WordPress to work as per business needs. Please view our list of sites we have customised for WordPress here:
http://www.dzineclub.com/blog/2011/01/wordpress-development-wordpress-design/
We still recommend using WordPress for Medium to Large Clients because of the level of customisation that can be done in WordPress and how quickly it can be changed and new plugins being added. What Drupal can do for such size clients can easily be accommodated using Plugins in WordPress.
For sites such as the main Government site, user payments and memberships, forums, connections to ERP platforms, WordPress is probably not the right option right now. The best solution would be to customise Drupal or use a paid CMS Platform. However if you are developing your site in 6 months or a year’s time, WordPress should be a worthy competitor.
Have you got a website that you are looking at developing and are not sure which CMS is the best to use?
Flick us an email at info@dzineclub.com and we’ll recommend a solution based on our expertise.
