I will be making some alterations to the Fusionxs website over the coming months to improve usability and quickly help you find the information you are looking for. The changes will be gradual so keep checking back for regular updates.
If you have any suggestions on how Fusionxs could improve its service or would like to make a request for extra features you would like to see (Shopping Carts, etc), I would love to hear from you.
Contact me via any of the usual channels or complete the enquiry form on the contact us page and I will come back to you as soon as possible.

There are several benefits to letting Fusionxs manage your website for you.
We have listed a few of them below to help you decide.
- Websites built to web standards
There are services around to allow you to just create a website on the fly by dragging a few boxes around and installing widgets. The issue with these services is your website will not be coded to any standards. This means that your site can look differently in all the different browsers available (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome, Opera, etc) and sometimes completely fall apart. Another issue is that the html code for your site will be longer than it could be which will mean it takes longer to load on the web and search engines which not be able to understand the content as quickly as they want to. This in turn means that your google position will suffer.
- Onsite search engine optimisation (SEO)
If you are serious about your google position, you need to ensure your site is built with search engines in mind. Onsite Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the art of ensuring the right words are in the right places, the right way and the right amount of times on your website. We ensure you have the correct page titles, header tags and content to go after your most important keywords with search engines. We have several years experience and know what works. Having your site managed by us ensures you reap the benefits of that knowledge.
- Ongoing Support and Advice
Lots of our customers call us for advice on their website. Maybe they have decided to target new keywords or different areas of business and want some advice on how to change the content with search engines in mind. The web is changing very quickly and new services are springing up all the time. Allowing us to manage your site means we can integrate these services as they become available. Google map integration is a good example of this. 2 years ago you couldn’t have embedded a google map into your own website to help people find you.
- Online Content Editor
We have recently trialled an online content editor service which allows our customers to change the wording on their sites themselves if they prefer. It works like an online word processor and is very easy to use. If you get stuck with it, just get in touch and we will help you solve the issue you are having. Fusionxs are continually looking for ways to provide a better service at no extra cost and the online content editor is a great example of this.
We hope you find this list useful. If you have any questions about the service we provide, please get in touch with us. We are more than happy to help.

Dropbox is a great free service available online and it allows you to store files in one place which will be automatically synced regardless of what pc you are working on. Just create an account and install the software on any pc you use. Then create a shortcut on your desktop and use it as a normal drive. Every time you make a change or add a file, it is automatically synced online so you are always working off the latest version. You can also roll back to previous versions of files which can prove useful if you make a mistake.
You can get a free 2gb account at www.getdropbox.com. If you need more storage you can get 50gb for $9.99 a month or 100gb for $19.99 a month.
I have been using dropbox for a few months now and found it to be a great reliable service. It saves you having to carry a storage pen around with you and the whole service works very well. I would highly recommend giving it a go if you haven’t already tried it.
