Sizzle Media Web design Manchester would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

It's been a tough year for most of us and Sizzle Media have been no exception. Although we are an established agency, many web design agencies became victims of the credit crunch as advertising budgets were held back and projects paused.

That said, we have much to be grateful for. With a loyal team and an excellent customer base we managed to not only remain strong as business, we also continued to expand our web design team and continue to offer our trademark customer service.

January 2010 will see 2 new members of staff join our web design team in Manchester, and a further 2 starting in March. We have also been very successful in providing NESTA selected businesses our services, and continue to be one the leaders in providing web design services to businesses awarded Creative Credits in the Greater Manchester area.

All in all 2010 looks to be a very positive year for Sizzle Media web design Manchester and we would like to again wish you all the very best for 2010.. See you on the side!

Quite possibly the most competitive keyword for any Manchester based web design studio, or any business in the city of Manchester for that matter is....drum roll...  'web design Manchester'.

There are currently over 1000,000 pages indexed for the keyword web design Manchester, which is actually very high as there are certainly nowhere near that many studios in the region. The truth of the matter is that probably 900,000 of those pages are related to businesses not even in the Manchester area. They are simply creating town name based page farms trying to secure a high traffic position. Although this 'grey hat' tactic may have worked 24 months ago, Google has cottoned on to this approach and has been steadily penalising these 'auto generated' pages.

Effective search engine optimisation is not about spammy pages of content or volume traffic anymore, it's about targeted traffic and converting those quality visits in to quality sales enquiries.

That is why Sizzle Media web design Manchester are so successful as a commercially minded web design agency. We offer web design services in and around the Manchester area, and are based in the Manchester area, and Google likes this level of  'content honesty' which is easy to decipher and highly relevant to the visitor.

2010 should see Sizzle Media web design Manchester also lead the way for the keywords  'web design Bury' and 'web design Oldham' as we continue to expand and win business nearby towns.

Our super yummy curry client the Indian Ocean Restaurant have done it again. For the third year in a row they have won the very prestigious ‘Best Indian Restaurant in the North West’ at the 2009 British Curry Awards. The Indian Ocean were praised at the event for their high standards of cuisine, service and ever popular brand - thanks to Sizzle Media web design Manchester!

The British Curry Awards created by Enam Ali MBE, is the highest honor available in the spice industry, often referred to as the Oscars of Asian cuisine. The night itself is a collection of the who’s who of the Indian restaurant scene and this year was no exception. The glittering ceremony was held at the Battersea Evolution Centre in London on Tuesday 3rd November and was attended by top industry figures and celebrities including host and main man Sir Trevor McDonald, Conservative party leader David Cameron and TV celebrity Chris Tarrant. David Cameron highlighted the importance of the curry industry in Britain, which is worth £3.5 billion per year.

Sizzle Media web design Manchester have been working alongside the Indian Ocean for several years, developing their brand, sampling their fantastic food and creating highly targeted products and campaigns, such as the award winning Curry and Cobra website which won the eTamside ICT award in 2007. Sizzle Media also developed their current web 2.0 site www.indianoceanonline.co.uk which again won the eTamside award in 2009 after only 3 days of going live.

Fayaz Aslam Indian Ocean's Sales and Marketing Director said this about us. “Working with Sizzle Media has been an excellent experience. Finding someone who understands your vision is difficult enough, but to find an organisation who can translate that vision in a reality over a sustained period of time demonstrates the high caliber of our friends at Sizzle Media. Our many successes simply reflect the joint efforts of our partners and the dedication they have shown in helping us to achieve our objectives.”
