We're very happy to announce the arrival of our two latest Marmalade recruits. Its been a very busy year for us, and it was clear we needed extra bodies to continue to deliver the excellent levels of creativity, technical brilliance and service our clients have been used to!

So welcome on board our new project manager - Ruth Jeffery (@roona), who has a wealth of experience in project management, social media and handling lots of smelly boys in the office.

Welcome also to Simeon de Roemer (@simderoemer), our new developer. Sim is a recent graduate of Southampton University, and has real technical excellence, and a keen eye for detail. He also, more importantly, is an avid Manchester United fan :)

So welcome to the team, and here's to more success in the years to come!

Hooray! Another day, another award!

We scooped a major industry award in recognition of the redesign of Harrods Estates website. The award was presented at the Daily Mail UK Property Awards 2009, on Friday 16^th October, in London.

We are delighted to have been awarded four stars for Best Property Website for Harrodsestates.com.

We worked closely with the Harrods Estates marketing team, to create a website that offered clarity of use and superb functionality, enabling property hunting visitors to manoeuvre around the elegant/stylish site with ease and enjoyment.

Shirley Humphrey; Sales and Marketing Director at Harrods Estates said: "The impact of our new website was immediate. Firstly, visitors spent longer on the site and secondly, as a result of the website and the marketing offered by Marmalade, there has been a significant increase in visitors and consequently a large rise in property enquiries. It's been a fantastic success for us."

Google high on Caffeine, but what does it mean to you?

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 10:20:00 +0100

Earlier today Google unveiled a major update to their search engine. But there are various questions you may have.

How has the search engine changed?

It is faster at getting results

It has a much bigger index

The algorithm appears different

We tested the preview of the new Google Search Engine with the keyword 'marmalade'. The current engine returned 4,140,000 results in 0.36 seconds. But the new one returned 4,450,000 in a whopping 0.08 seconds, that is less than 1/4 of the speed.

Try it for yourself

I am a business, how will it affect traffic to my site?

Due to the different algorithm used, SEO experts will have to change how they perform search engine optimisation. Unfortunately at this early stage it is hard to tell how much. You might find that you appear higher on google. However you may also find that you appear lower than you expected, using the new algorithm.
