GoDaddy Launches New Website Builder with Focus On Restaurant Website

GoDaddy has announced last week the launch of a brand new website builder with new features aimed specifically at restaurants. The new website builder provides hundreds of customizable designs and many ways to change the appearance – allowing you to make your digital identity exactly like your restaurant. Seamless integration with Locu provides a built-in menu manager, letting restaurateurs quickly and easily update their menu.

Locu specializes in easy menu-management and has hundreds of thousands of menus from all over the U.S. pre-loaded into their database, waiting for a restaurant to claim them. Once claimed, a restaurant can set prices, change descriptions and add photos of their meals. That means menu items don’t have to be entered manually on the website – it’s already pre-loaded for you. If a restaurant is brand new or Locu has not collected their menu, the automatic conversion of a document, pdf or image of a menu quickly enables users to have an SEO-rich menu online. Restaurants can print menus on a daily basis, making changes as often as needed for their menu.

“Website Builder with Locu was specifically designed for ease-of-use and versatility – giving restaurants complete control of their identity and menu without wasting time. GoDaddy is doing whatever it takes to help our customers cross the digital divide to take advantage of technology previously only available to the big guys.”

Changes restaurants make on their Locu menu are published on websites and mobile apps across Locu’s partner network, including OpenTable, Foursquare and Citysearch. Customers using the Locu’s premium plan will have access to automatically update websites like Yelp, Facebook and TripAdvisor. In addition to menu management, the new GoDaddy Website Builder automatically creates a mobile-friendly website. In a survey performed in Jan. 2013 and conducted by Chadwick Martin Bailey more than 80 percent of customers said they have searched for a restaurant using their smartphone. Yet, research shows only 1 in 20 restaurants have a mobile presence. More-so 80 percent of individuals say it’s important to have a menu online, and yet a Restaurant Sciences report published in April of 2012 shows that of the nearly 340 thousand independent restaurants participating in the report, only 4 in 10 have their menu posted on their website.

GoDaddy hopes to change those numbers with their new website builder. To help bring attention to their new website builder, GoDaddy is also offering a free domain name with the purchase of a GoDaddy Website Builder plan.

Google’s Matt Cutts Explains What To Expect In The Coming Months with SEO for Google

Matt Cutts posted a great overview video of Google’s plans for the next few months for orgnic search – what website optimizers and webmasters can expect. I’ve outlined some of the key points of the 7+ minute video below. Do keep in mind that this is a rough snapshot of the potential that’s in the works. It’s not a guaranteed promise because things can always change as these projects evolve.

1. Stop advertorials that pass PageRank
2. Improve SERPs that are traditionally more spammy (adult, for example)
3. Better link analysis to deny value to link spammer
4. New hacked site detection methods and better webmaster communication about them
5. Detect true authorities better in various niches – better authority signals that could help moderate Panda impact
6. Improvements planned for host clustering – to make overly dominant results less common

The big question on everyone’s mind lately is Penguin 2.0, and when is it finally coming. Matt Cutts does a good job at answering that within this video, followed also by his Twitter post from a few days ago:

@mrjamiedodd we do expect to roll out Penguin 2.0 (next generation of Penguin) sometime in the next few weeks though.

Leading web hosting company, Midphase has launched its own line of dynamic cloud servers, offering an easy-to-use and powerful new hosting product that signals Midphase’s move into a rapidly expanding section of the hosting market – cloud hosting. Midphase has introduced four levels of managed cloud servers to their product range, allowing customers to get the resources they want without a steep learning curve.

Midphase cloud technology provides a smoother customer experince by allowing cloud servers to run independently on redundant hardware rather than being based on one specific piece of hardware. The Midphase cloud utilizes multiple pieces of hardware backed by the ability to relocate, or fail-over, to another location at the specific moment a piece of hardware begins to fail. In addition, Midphase cloud servers are fully scalable, allowing businesses to grow in real time. Customers also oversee the content of their server, accessed through an easy-to-use cPanel powered control panel, while being fully supported by the Midphase support teams who configure, manage and troubleshoot the servers 24 hours a day.

“We wanted to find a way to make the latest technology accessible to everyone, not just the techies,” said Midphase’s cloud marketing manager, Terry Myers. “Our cloud servers are easy to use for new clients and offer a seamless transition for current Midphase clients who experience no learning curve by utilizing the same control panel as before; each can take advantage of the powerful cloud technology right away.”

Although this is Midphase’s first venture into cloud products, they are backed by decades of collective experience in the cloud hosting market by their international parent company, UK2 Group.

“The cloud infrastructure was already there for Midphase, we only needed to work on the implementation,” said Dave Anderson, the marketing and sales director for UK2 Group. “We’ve come up with a great product, backed up by seriously poweful hardware and our robust network.”

Midphase cloud servers start off at just $49.99 a month and come with free Snapshot Backups, custom nameservers and free SSL certificates, as well as their already established control panel. With a 30 day money back guarantee, it represents an excellent hosting product that is sure to get more people into the cloud.

Custom Backend Developed for Signature Auto Leasing

Signature Auto Leasing, a New York based leasing company, came to us with a static website, perfect for a leasing company – however lacking certain functionality. For example, their home-page features 6 lease specials – which are displayed through the use of rollover images. Finalizing each row are 2 static images which lead to their respective contact forms. This same design concept continued through onto the Lease Specials page which listed all of their leasing specials in a 4-column layout, again with the use of rollovers. The issue here was that everything was static. Adding new lease specials had to be done manually, and each page edited to accomodate the new special. Check out the full post in the portfolio to see the custom backend that I developed for Signature Auto Leasing.
