Did you know – More than half of the UK population, aged 16 and over, is now using social media, according to the Office of National Statistics.

Results from the annual survey from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) on British internet habits has revealed that, while 43% of those aged 16 and over were using Twitter and Facebook last year, that figure has now increased to 57%.

It also stated that 91% of those in the 16-24 age group are active users of social media, with 18% of over-65s socialising online.

A gender divide was also revealed, with women being the predominant users at 60%, compared to 54% of men. However, professional social networking site LinkedIn was used by over 50% more men (16%) than women (9%).

The results of the survey highlight gains for businesses focusing on social media, as increasing numbers of the British population spend more time online.

Whether you are selling products via your site, or just using your site for awareness, it is important it is telling the correct information. Give your site a ‘Health Check’, change a few pictures, update some of the text or add a Twitter feed or some update news are all ways to freshen up your site, and give Google a reason to re-rank you so you are easier to find!

In 2010, 33% of companies were successfully winning new customers through social networking activity. A year later the amount has risen to 41%.

The increase is happening on a global basis too. 52% of businesses globally are using sites like Twitter to engage, connect with and inform existing customers, the study of 17,000 managers and business owners across 80 countries, found.
Celia Donne, regional director at Regus, said: “Business social networking has finally come into its own in the commercial world. More and more companies are leveraging the channel not only to increase the loyalty of existing customers, but as a successful acquisition tool.

As businesses emerge from the downturn they are increasingly reconsidering pre-recession working practices and opting for more flexible, competitive strategies. Among these, the use of business social media is proving extremely successful and suited to the fast pace of recovery.

Particularly in the UK where one in three social network users are a fan, follower or friend of a company page or profile.

UK businesses are being encouraged to increase the proportion of their marketing budget to this activity. Two fifths of companies globally and a third in the UK devote up to 20% of their marketing budget to business social networking activity.

It is also reported that 90% of websites have NOT been updated in the last 18 months!

This is of course great news, as it means your website is far more accessible and viewed by a greater number of visitors on a daily basis.

The bad news is, if your current home page is minimised to fit within the average smart phone screen, it will appear crammed and unreadable.

This is easily fixed with a dedicated Style sheet, which recognises when your site is being viewed via a mobile device, and ensures only the essential information is shown.

Call us now 01953 456789 and I’ll be happy to discuss how we can ensure everybody has access to your website, irrespective of the device being used to view it.

I’d also be happy to undertake a review of your website, to ensure it is up to date, showing the correct information and the most recent images.

Your website is a powerful tool in helping you grow your business. Let’s make sure it’s working correctly for you!

The team at Spider Solutions have been extremely busy over the past few months, updating existing websites for our clients and building some fantastic new websites for our new customers.

Two sites we have recently completed have been for Creative Coaching and The Attleborough Amateur Boxing Club. Both sites are completely different in there look, feel and structure. The Creative Coaching site offers a fairly simple look and feel, so as not to distract from the usability features, where as the Boxing Club site is a little wacky in its design and in the way the pages turn.

We are also very pleased to welcome our newest web developer to the Spider Solutions team, Daniel Mills know as Danny. Danny has re-located from Bolton to join the team, and has settled in very nicely over the past few weeks.  You can meet the entire team by clicking >>  HERE

Is your website viewable correctly via smart phones?  It needs to be, as the number of visits to any website in now more likely to be via a smart phone than a desk top or laptop.  We can add a simple style sheet to ensure your site is visible by everyone. See more details >>  HERE

Remember we are on hand and only a phone call away should you require any changes to your website.
