Philosophy and Aims

At BigRedBall, we believe we can work with you to give you the presence you need to succeed on the world wide web. We believe in working with small businesses, organisations or individuals to deliver what you need. By keeping them uncluttered and effective, we believe in producing quality websites that will encourage your customers to come back again and again whilst offering you great value for money. We believe that it is wrong to pigeon-hole the requirements of the small business and therefore build to your specifications rather than shoe-horn your site into a predetermined configuration.

Site of the Month

MartialArtsCafe.com is a Martial Arts Resource which provides news articles, a world wide directory of Martial Arts clubs, a diary of events and a popular discussion board. The articles are available in RSS format so that users can be informed automatically when any new articles are added to the site.

The site has been built using XHTML and CSS. The use of CSS allows all pages to have a consistent look and feel. The club directory uses database technology to automatically display the clubs depending on which region has been selected. Google Ads are displayed depending on the keywords within the page. When anyone clicks on a Google ad, the site owner receives a non-fixed amount of advertisement revenue.

The articles provide content which is vital for pushing the website further up the various search engines, such as Google, Yahoo and MSN.
