Blog News and comments from the team on Jack Marlow, Truss, and our clients

In a previous post I discussed Google and Bing. Google does what it does so well that I think it unlikely that Bing (or any other Search Engine) will seriously compete with Google.

But what about things that Google doesn't do as well?

When you do a Google Search, Google of course does not search the entire internet for that query. Google searches its index of the internet, and the information that appears highest in your Search Results could be days or months out of date. For most searches that probably won't worry you too much. Although it can be frustrating waiting a number of days for Google's "spiders" to re-index your website after ...

To celebrate such a successful year for us all here at Jack Marlow, we'll be closing up at 3pm tomorrow (Friday, December 16) and heading out for some Christmas cheer.

If you require support during this time, please leave us a message on 1300 932 243 and we'll be sure to get back to you.

The Jack Marlow office will be open every day (excluding public holidays) over the Christmas period for any support queries. No rest for the wicked!

It's moving day here at Jack Marlow HQ!

We are still hard at work while desks are being dismantled around us, so there will be no interruption to support services during business hours, and absolutely no interruption to network services at all.

Thank you to our clients for your support thus far - we look forward to growing with you. Especially now that we have the floorspace to ...

So here we are. This is our new site. We're pretty excited. We hope you like it.

In a little over six weeks, we've turned around a ground-up rethink of who we are, what we do, and how we can do it better. I think we're doing pretty well.

Our old tagline was "a human approach to web development" -- which has always been what we try to do, but I'm a big believer in using less words.
