What are you missing out on?
This week the Feedia team have been discussing the lifespan of a website, and why it's good to always keep your site up-to-date.
On Wednesday, Ismail wrote about changing design trends and why it’s important to stay up to date. Thursday, Letitia presented some strategies for determining if your company site is in need of a refresh.
2 Comment(s)How to tell when a business's website needs a redesign
Just like fashion, websites date. What was the rage a year ago in website design and functionality is now seen as so last century.
Having a website doesn't come cheap and continually keeping up with these trends can be seen as not necessary for some businesses.
A few questions to ask yourself to identify whether it's time for a redesign:
Is your website hard to update and maintain?
0 Comment(s)Web Design Trends Come and Go
Just as in clothing, cars, television, and a myriad of other things in our day to day lives, web design also lends itself to trends. Designers are constantly learning new ways and methods of doing things, and introducing new inspirations, which changes the face of the web very rapidly. What's cool and funky in 2009 might be severely dated in 2010.
0 Comment(s)A new fortnight, a new focus.
Sitting down this morning, all recovering from the weekend, preparing for the day ahead and tomorrow's Australia Day celebrations we came up with a topic for this fortnight's blog entries; the lifespan of a website.
Day in day out we come across the mullets, shoulder pads and 80s hairdos of websites. We're all too familiar with identifying how dated a business's website is through it's design, functionality and overall performance.
So now it's our time to share with you the ways to tell if a business's website is dated and how this can impact a business's online performance.

Freedom of expression can be summarised as the freedom of seeking, receiving, and imparting ideas and information through any medium. The medium that this blog is concerned with is the internet, a place that is built on the sharing of information and ideas.

Government Intervention: is it going too far?
One of the most agreeable articles I have found in relation to discussion regarding the No Clean Feed was published by Canon Dr Ray Clearly on 18 January.
This article comments in depth on the debate regarding government versus parent responsibility with respect to child protection.
1 Comment(s)Pumped full of energy and ready to go
Third week in and we're all still pumped and full of energy to embrace the year ahead. 2010 for Feedia is the year of authority and about refinement and embracing new opportunities.
Similar to most businesses at the end of every year, we took time out to reflect on what rocked, what didn't and what we all learnt during the year. This helped us to set goals and milestones for this year to improve and grow both individually and as an agency.
0 Comment(s)One of the most interesting parts of the nocleanfeed debate is....
...the online communities that have been created.
Yes I could write about how the technical limitations of the governments legislation, or the effects it will have on internet speeds and so forth. However I feel this as an awesome opportunity to showcase the incredible standing advocates of the nocleanfeed protest are implementing via social media.
2 Comment(s)The DBCDE Pilot Report
In mid December last year, the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy released the results of their live pilot of the proposed internet filter on their website.
Summary of Results
At face value, the report suggests that the pilot trial was a universal success.
0 Comment(s)Clean Feed Alternatives
Outlining and discussing why the proposed Clean Feed for Australia is wrong is a great way to introduce people to the valid arguments as to why this is a leap in the wrong direction. However, merely pointing at it with a disgruntled finger will only serve the cause so far until we hit the point of no return and all we've done is talked about why it's a bad thing for this country. Instead, let's start looking at alternative ways that this problem can be tackled, because underneath it all, yes there are still problems that need to be addressed.
0 Comment(s)Who is responsible for child censorship?
A major criticism following the Australian Government's announcement to filter 'inappropriate' websites in an attempt to protect children from viewing sexual or violent content, is the lack of clear definitions of what the proposal entails.
What are the consequences of censorship?
9 Comment(s)The potential effects of being blacklisted
There has been a lot of concern by Australians over the proposed Internet filter. If proposed legislation is implemented, Australian internet users will find themselves part of a two-tier system.
The first tier, which will be mandatory for all Australians, will involve a government-controlled blacklist of prohibited sites that ISPs must block. The second tier, which Australians may opt-out of, involves a more aggressive filter that is to remove all material “inappropriate” for children.
5 Comment(s)No clean feed...where to begin?
Proposed internet filter laws over the past year have been a heated topic in the Feedia office. As a digital agency we foresee the affects of this proposed internet filter plan (known as 'clean feed') and feel the need to voice concerns of the proposal from an agency's viewpoint.
What is the 'clean feed'?
"Is a plan the Australian Federal Government is pushing forward to force Internet Service Providers [ISPs] to censor the Internet for all Australians."
