Websites blogs by LEON Bailey Green

The team at MKN Media built the website for sheepskin boot brand Jumbuck Boots using Wordpress.

The best thing about using Wordpress as a backend and CMS is that many content editors are now accustomed to using it.

Gigi Morley, former National Lottery presenter, is now a style queen making waves in fashion.

She’s writing a book on her favourite subject, accessorising, and fronts a series of style videos for Virgin Media’s Living website.

The features were produced by Gigi’s company Rocks, Frocks & Cocktails with Chuffed Productions and Philip Levine. My friends Rebekah Roy and Zoe Lem were also involved in the project as stylists.

I was asked to sit on the judging panel for the Drapers Etail Awards 2009. The first dedicated e-commerce awards scheme by the bible of the fashion business Drapers.

Self styled as “the World’s First Virtual Shopping Mall”, MyMall (www.themall.tv) launched a few weeks ago.

According to MyMall “Search Engines can be confusing and time consuming and often result in frustration when looking for the simplest of items”.

Already hailed by Vogue and InStyle Online fashion accessories store Lily and Lionel launched two weeks ago.

I am confident Lily and Lionel is a luxury brand to watch out for - the concept is borne out of Alice Stone’s true passion for fashion and love of travel, all inspired by her late grandparents; the real Lily and Lionel.

Shortly after Saturday’s The X Factor the Daily Mail website published a story about the feud between Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh. Quick huh?

The Daily Mail seem to understand the importance of breaking news online (extra Google love), but they seem to place story updates within the same article.

If they want to maximise visits they should write fresh articles whenever there is an update - this is because Google News will only spider content once, and Google News I’m sure is one of the Daily Mail’s biggest traffic drivers.

”A pound invested online is far more effective than one spent offline” say Martha Lane Fox - Read my take on Martha’s comment on the Market Sentinel blog.

I’ve recently been dealing with the guys at ShopStyle UK (If you’re a retailer I suggest you get on it. Fast.) and was pleased to hear they were launching a section with store discounts.

The section was called ‘deals’ mimicking the American version ShopStyle.com, but I suggested that either ‘discounts’ or ‘offers’ would be more in tune with UK audiences.

Amazon has been with many of us since our internet lives began.

The brand is a constant. Always reliable, always selling books cheaper than Waterstone’s and generally always there.

By there, I mean our email inboxes. Amazon likes to keep in touch.
