Support & Customer Care Testimonial – So Nice To Be Appreciated

by

Drive By Websites takes pride in the fact that we offer what, we would consider, to be an excellent support and customer care service to each and every client during the time their website is being built and after the the completion of the project.

One of our clients recently experienced a problem and rang our office to find out if we could help.  We would like to take this opportunity of sharing the testimonial we have since received:

‘Unexpectedly having difficulty viewing some analytics for our website developed by Drive By Websites, I contacted the office late on a Friday afternoon. Jack took the call and without hesitation listened to the problem I was having and suggested a way that he could help me to resolve it there and then. Jack installed remote access software which enabled him to get to identify the reasons for the problem and quickly fix them, all whilst he was talking me though it and I could see the changes he was making on line. The problem was resolved immediately to my complete satisfaction.

From Today Google Will Favour Mobile-Friendly Sites

by

Today is the day – 21st April 2015 – when search engine results will never be the same again.  It’s official, Google will promote mobile-friendly sites which means that if your Google site doesn’t pass the mobile friendliness test, then it will feature less prominently on its search engine results.

In a blog post, the company has stated that “Starting April 21, we will be expanding our use of mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal. This change will affect mobile searches in all languages worldwide and will have a significant impact in our search results. Consequently, users will find it easier to get relevant, high quality search results that are optimized for their devices.”
