We recently have been bestowed the award of Google Site Links for our organic search!!! If your web agency, or one what you're thinking about using, it may be worth seeing if they have a set of Google site links.

What are Google site links?

They are a set of quick links under the search items in a Google search. Google show them because they think they are useful for the user. You can see ours below if you search 2bebrave:

Our site links are Magento, Portfolio, Contact Us, Blog.

So you have an understanding of what people view on our site. Google understand that our site is a quiet important site both in Bristol and the UK relating to anything web or e-commerce.

If your thinking about using a web agency, check if they have a set of site links!! If they don't then their understanding of how to make a website may not be as good as they make out.

2bebrave is a fairly young company in terms of web life. This is why this recognition is quiet important to us.

2bebrave celebrated a hard earned rest last friday with a day at banksy. Banksy is currently showing in the Bristol city museum and by all acounts looks to be one of the most famous artists of this generation. The exhibition was first class and what banksy has done for art and social issues can be seen with the array of people that come to see his work.

'Home Sweet Home' is running till the end of August.

Today we won the contract to begin work on a new Magento e-Commerce store for WeFixMac. Due to client confidentiality we cannot go into too much detail but it will be an e-Commerce store which will require a bespoke component for product reference number search ability. 2bebrave is now positioned as the number one Bristol based Magento specialists and we will be rolling out a number of superd stores to secure this position.

For those of you who have not heard of Magento in a nutshell it is the best e-Commerce software available in the market today. To learn more take a look at the 2bebrave Magento webpage and the Magento library of articles we have written.

If you have not yet heard of Twitter then I suggest coming out of your cave and getting some sunshine, Twitter is everywhere. Everyone from the MTV president Barack Obama to Britney Spears is twittering. On the drive home last night my local radio host pronounced he is now on Twitter and urged his listeners to follow his every update on the site, I could swear he was saying the same thing last year about Facebook.

Check out the funky component below and start twittering!
