Arts Events in Dumfries and Galloway 2012

The Dumfries and Galloway Arts Festival kicks off on 25th May 2012 this year with the events now listed on the arts website.

A Calameo feature allows the print version of the event listings brochure to be viewed, downloaded and printed from the screen, and some recent Flickr images have been updated by the dgartsfest staff.

Tickets will be available to buy online on 16th March via ticketweb - this seems to change every year so the wordpress custom fields need tweaked to suit. In previous years it has used TheBooth and also the PatronBase ticketing system provided by the now defunct Dumfries and Galloway Arts.

Luckily the DG Arts Festival is forced to stay within a strict budget so isn't able to go bust or into administration every few years!

Vindicated

The Cyprus Holiday Villa market is pretty saturated. A Callisti client had challenged us with the task of building up quality web traffic for a young website to attract a share of the Cyprus holiday online booking market.

The challenge involved using only "white hat SEO" techniques, no Google Adwords or sponsored links, and work within a tight budget on a "shot to nothing" basis. The work is now paying off :)

After investing time in reducing pagerank leakage, making more friendly URLs, optimising meta tags, sourcing website and blog links from external and relevant websites, utilising a rich Flickr photostream, and tweeting when appropriate, etc., the bookings are now starting to come.

A strange feeling of satisfaction results.
