Each year, Google changes its search algorithm up to 500-600 times. While most of these changes are minor, every
few months Google rolls out a “major” algorithmic update that affect search results in significant ways.

Since 2010, Social Media can no longer be ignored as it has been added as a major factor in your search ranking.

Floating Social Networking Tabs

john@sitecats.com (John Ralston) — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 13:04:04 GMT

We've got another great new plugin for Joomla that can keep all of your social networking links in one spot, making it easy to get people hooked up with all of your separate accounts. These Floating Social Networking Tabs are static tabs, displayed on the side of your website. They'll stay in one place as your visitor scrolls up and down the pages of your website. These tabs are a creative and organized way to display links that you want visitors to be able to find easily. Perhaps the best part is that they can link to any website, and not just Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.

Features

Up to 6 static tabs
Can be turned off and on individually
Each can be set to its own URL
10 Themes to choose from (wood, black, gray 1, gray 2, blue, white, paper, cork, green and purple)
10 of the most Popular Social Networking Tabs are available (twitter, facebook, rss, myspace, bebo, linked in, blogger, delicious, you tube, and stumble upon)

Page Peel Extension

Page Peel Extension

Joomla Extension for versions 1.5, 1.6 & 1.7

Sitecats Web Development has a great new plugin for Joomla! that can help you catch your visitors' attention. It's called Page Peel! This creates a peeled-back area in the corner of your website to add a little something extra. This makes your website more exciting and memorable for your viewers. It's also a creative way to display important information or advertisements on your website. When you mouse over the page peel the corner of the page will peel back a bit, thus revealing more information regarding your website.

To see what we mean, check it out on North Penn Animal Hospital's website.

Features

Spam-free forms without Captcha

john@sitecats.com (John Ralston) — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 13:02:21 GMT

Getting junk, spam and gibberish from your website forms? Sitecats is now licensed to incorporate the newest form technology into your web design through spam-less forms.

The problem? Unscrupulous programmers find your forms through automated programs and fill out your form in a fraction of a second. Our technology doesn't allow them to do this, and requires a sensible amount of time between each form field entry. This alleviates the need for a Captcha image verification. Plus the form can be embedded as an Ajax popup, Lightbox popup or regular module. Go to www.sitecats.com and look for the FAST response form.

Want this in your new CMS site? Call Jeremy today for all your Doylestown web design needs at 215-345-9050. Relax, you've got Sitecats!

Souderton Telford Main Streets

john@sitecats.com (John Ralston) — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 12:48:02 GMT

In 2006, Executive Director of the Souderton Telford Community Development Corp / Main Streets program Pam Coleman asked us to create a site that they could edit in-house with a simple password protected content management system. 250+ sites later, we are still using the Joomla system for most of our sites and it continues to beat the competition for overall ease of use and versatility.

Packt Publishing has just announced that Joomla has been voted best open source CMS for 2011. The Packt Open Source Awards is a yearly award that is presented to various open source projects. Prefer Wordpress? Well, Sitecats does that too! Between Joomla and Wordpress, just about any site in any price range can be made here at Sitecats.

This video was taken aboard the Bucks County Riverboat during our customer appreciation party cruise in August 2011. See all the videos at our Youtube page, and thanks for 5 great years!

28 Reasons you choose Sitecats

jeremy@sitecats.com (Jeremy Ralston) — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 05:00:00 GMT

Technical people spend long hours learning and perfecting their craft, but most haven't studied customer relations. Sitecats has years of customer service experience along with a superior system of making websites that YOU control. Genius? Maybe not. But we've developed this business solely by listening to the customer. Fancy that! All we had to do is listen.

We understand why you've fallen out of love with your present web guy. We empathize with them and their home offices and cell phones, but we've set higher standards with our customers in mind. Over the past 14 years customers have told us they demand the following.

To be treated as experts in THEIR field, not ours.
Not to be fed a bunch of technical jargon they don't need to understand.
The latest and greatest web effects at minimal cost.
Landline phones in both Doylestown and Telford offices. We rarely use cell phones during the day.
An easy system to add and edit content in their office or at home.
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Constant Contact integration made easy.
A low monthly fee and a discount for hosting when they've paid for the year in advance.
Non-profit and Chamber of Commerce discount.
Google Analytics tracking is always FREE.

Can't get listed for your keyword phrases?

john@sitecats.com (John Ralston) — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 17:19:18 GMT

You've been trying hard to beat your competitor for that unique keyword term for a long time now. The bad news is it's not easy to create great content that people want to share amongst the masses. The GOOD news is, there is a scientifically proven method to get you closer to the top.

List and prioritize your keywords.
Create useful content specifically for those keywords, incorporating keywords throughout (don't overkill this).
Include the keyword in the URL, heading and perhaps the subheading.
Share, distribute and promote your pages.

Note that their are other factors like the age of your domain name, page structure, programming language, and incoming links to your page. If you need the experts, call us today at 215-723-7050 or fill out a quick response form. We're here to help.

It's all about you, you, you.
