This blog will include lots of useful and not so useful information from the fingers of Jane Hooper. I have some ideas of what I will talk about and they include the following ideas.

• • the benefits of good quality graphic design
• • why have a website – do you need a website?
• • why do-it-yourself web design may not be the best for your business
• • frames vs tables – even explaining what I mean!
• • basic search engine optimisation tips
• • places in Cornwall that I love

However the most effective blog is one that people read! So I would love to have some feedback, comments and thoughts on what I should blog about.

Welcome to Hooper Graphics first blog.

The latest important marketing tool is to have a blog and there are some great tools out there to help you start blogging. However I wanted one that would be integrated into my main website. I have chosen Word Press as my publishing platform but I created my own theme so that it has the same design as my website and hopefully no-one can see the join.

They say to survive the recession we must innovate and find new ways to attract customers. Well this has been a really useful learning process as well, so now that I have learnt how to do it I can offer this service to my customers as well. Hopefully a win win situation.
