Good Afternoon ,

Have you ever needed to monitor when your website or blog goes offline or down? As a business that looks after many different websites, Online Footprint works hard to select hosting providers for our clients that have reliable servers and keep downtime to a minimum.

But sometimes technology lets us down and if your site goes down, even for a few minutes, the results could mean loss of business, missing crucial customers and delays in communications such as email.

In the past week we have been looking for the best alert system to help us know when our sites are down or offline. There are plenty of paid or premium sites that can do it but we found one device run by Google Drive which beats them all. And its free...... more here

As we mentioned in the previous email newsletter, Online Footprint client, former Mr World Kamal Ibrahim, has been appearing in Celebrity Masterchef Ireland over the past couple of weeks.

This week he needed to prepare a dinner party for guests and the judges. Unfortunately his dessert was not rated by the dinner party and the judges were not impressed by his main course of mystery ingredients. So Kamal had to hang up his apron and was eliminated from the series.

Kamal said he had a great time filming the series and learnt a lot about cooking which he will show off when he returns to Australia. If you would like former Mr World to cook for you, leave a message at our website and we will see what we can arrange.

It was the sparkle that Sally Harper wanted. When she came to Online Footprint and asked for us to design her a website to bring her new direct marketing business to life we asked what she wanted people to see when they frst landed on the site.

Sally, the Founder of Beeline Direct Communications, said she wanted the website to shine, with her brand colours the feature and if we could include some bees that would be a bonus.

The website is brought to life with a stunning Kinetic Typography video that opens the website and outlines everything Beeline stands for, Investigation, Planning, Execution and Learning .
