Upthink are pleased to offer their skills in customising WordPress websites. WordPress is a free, open-source Content Management System (otherwise known as CMS), that allows a website user to update pages without extensive knowledge of website development.

Upthink believe that CMS systems are the way forward to ensuring businesses update their websites regularly. “The value of updating your website regularly cannot be under-estimated.”, says Oliver Coey of Upthink. “Your website is a valuable marketing tool; it’s the gateway to your business. Nobody wants to read the same thing twice. It can harm your rankings in the search engines if you don’t make regular changes”.

WordPress is a step closer to making regular updates easier and fun, and Upthink are ready to make it a reality for your business. Contact us today to take advantage of our cost effective hosting packages, and let us help you start using WordPress today!

Mozilla, the masters behind the Firefox web browser have released the latest version of their popular Thunderbird e-mail client. Version 3 is better, more useable, and more stable than ever before. As a e-mail only application, it stands out as the best alternative to Microsoft Outlook for POP3 / IMAP e-mail management. Upthink particularly recommend using Thunderbird 3 with IMAP e-mail accounts, since the integration is top-notch and far better than any alternative e-mail clients tested by Upthink.

Mozilla Thunderbird 3 is available now to download from the Thunderbird website – click here.
