In a combined effort with our friends at Sill Marketing and Intuitive IT that took us well into the early hours of this morning, we were able to turn around a website within 24 hours for the Victorian Restaurants Unite initiative, just in time for their appearance on ABC 774 Melbourne radio.

Intuitive IT is a Melbourne based IT company providing a full range of IT services ranging from Outsourced IT to SEO services. Through a collaborative effort, this is the design we came up with.

When it comes to choosing a domain name, there are a number of things to consider. You want a name that is short, easy to remember, and relevant. You also want it to be something that can be easily typed into a browser. While including keywords in your domain carries weight with the search engines, and may give you an initial boost short-term in rankings, you don’t want it coming at the cost of building a brand for your business.
Unless you are an already established brand who can get away with just having their name as the domain, you ideally want to choose a domain that contains both your brand name, and a term related to your product or service. So for example, if I was a start-up, looking to establish myself in the business insurance industry, I’d choose something like xyzinsurance.com (xyz being the brand name), over something containing only keywords, such as insure-your-business.com.

Pixel8 Studios is proud to announce the launch of our new website! It has been a work in progress for a while now, as we went though quite a few design changes before we reached the final one you see before you, but in the end, we feel the extra time and care taken has been worth it as it has resulted in a website we are very excited about, and proud to have represent our business.
The launch of our website is only the beginning though, as we intend to have it continually grow through regular updates to our portfolio section and our blog. The blog will primarily be used for updates of our latest work, but will also be a place where you can find articles and news related to the web that we feel are worth sharing, and can be of benefit to you. As well as website updates, you can also follow us through our twitter and facebook pages for latest news and updates, as well as for any promotional offers we may have on offer.
We hope you enjoy the site, and maybe even hearing from you in the future!
