Thursday, December 4th, 2008

We recently targeted a number of UK students with news of Doxmart. Many have now signed up and are uploading their papers. One that has received excellent feedback is described as: ‘a glimpse into the distant past of a once untamed land and the truly ancient people who first explored it.’

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

We were drawn to this featured Doxmart document having read an excellent posting on Seomoz.org about why SEO is hot again now that we are in a period of economic downturn. Take a look at the blog…

So our featured business document this week (at a mere 50 pence) is Search Engine Optimisation by bpatient.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is an important marketing tool. For both organisations and individuals who put information on a web site, (whether it is on the form of a brochure or if it even provides interaction), it is important that it is designed in such a way that people are able to find you. That is what SEO is about, and through this informative guide you will find an overview of some of the key points that you should be addressing to maximize your site for this crucial activity.

We tracked down bpatient and found that he is Antonios Pavlakis, a Phd undergraduate. He is passionate about web development and has worked across Europe in IT Development and support.

He is now working as a Web Applications Developer at Go MAD Thinking in partnership with De Montfort University as part of the Knowledge Transfer Partnership government scheme.

Silicon Valley comes to Oxford

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

The spirit of the entrepreneurial “garage” was celebrated at the recent Silicon Valley Comes to Oxford event, held at Saïd Business School on 20 November 2008. Doxmart founders Clive Mendes and Vito Fortunato were there to learn and share with other leading web masters.

Says Clive Mendes: “The keynote message that really struck a chord with me was that the forecast is that the successful web sites of the future, particularly in these recessionary times, will be those that help people to monetise what they are good at.

“This is exactly what Doxmart is doing and our new generation site, due to be launched early next year, will really offer this to our members. It will provide tools for people to publish their expertise, promote their skills, get answers and solutions to challenges and make useful contacts.

“Furthermore, by offering documents for translation (or offering translation services to members) we will encourage the sharing of knowledge between language cultures worldwide.”
