Seven Sins Tattoo have been working with GT Web Design for over a year now and the results of our new website are phenomenal! Our old website was a nightmare. We had no access to update pictures or content and we had hardly any traffic. But since commissioning Mike to build us a brand new site I cannot praise him enough. From day one Mike has taken our brief and made our company website work properly, giving us expert and concise advice in getting the results we wanted and working tirelessly to get it up and running quickly and efficiently. Mike reacts quickly to our changing ideas and requests and always achieves good results

Since we went live the results have been impressive. Our customers love our site and compliment us all the time on how professional and functional it is. We’ve since added a blog which is hugely popular and most recently, an online shop, which has already started to show good results in additional sales. I’d recommend Mike and GT Web Design highly to anyone who wanted to get a slick, professional website

I must say the first thing I do is to set the permalinks to use a custom permalink setting so that the Urls within the wordpress section of my site are as SEO and person friendly as they can be in my view. I therefore change the permalinks strucutre so that the url as you will see is main address /  Category Name /  Post Title.  Therefore as you see on this post the category is wordpress and the post section of the url completes it making the full Url http://www.gtwebdesign.co.uk/news-blog/index.php/wordpress/first-thing-i-set-in-wordpress/ 

If you are new to wordpress and do not know how to set this, then you can log into wordpress and int he left menu select “Settings” and then select Permalink. Once in there select the option of “Custom” url and enter “/index.php/%category%/%postname%/” in the space and then the new design will continue for new posts.

WHY IS THIS FIRST?? – The reason this is the first thing that I set in most is that i want every post from day 1 to have the correct URL structure

As Gt Web Design has now been building local company websites for years we thought as well as giving back to the area through some free local charity websites we should also give back to some of the technical people out there that have saved us going mad late at night when there is something you are trying to do and it just wont work! To all those developers out there that help us we are going to actively give back knowledge and help with other peoples issues.
