Hi again, much has happened in the last month so its time for an update!
Since my last post, the website reviews have been finished. We reviewed 60 web design agency websites and 50 lawyer firm websites, giving us enough options to go ahead and implement in the form of contacting the site to offer them 3 Door Digitals services. In the near future we will hopefuly get on with this. It will be interesting to see how 3DD portay their professional knowledge and skills and giving the customer an idea of how this will help them.
Currently I am in the process of finishing my PDR form, which assesses my development while participating in tasks whilst at 3DD.

Hi again, last time I'd just been introduced to the team at 3DD and was just starting to get to grips on a task I was set.
After 6 weeks of working on the task, I have developed an understanding of each websites individual layout, and also what consumers feel is required of the website.
Within web design agencies, most sites are kept well up to date and represent exactly what the company can do with their knowledge in that area to produce a good quality website for a client.
Lawyer firm's sites are generally more minimalistic, with essential information provided with a small amount of colour and imagery used. This was the case the majority of the time, with sites almost falling into a stereotype of design and layout.
I have developed an eye for unique and stand out sites though, that will hopefully help 3DD to properly decipher which agencies or firms could become possible clients.
Currently I am still working on this task. After previous experience I am able to review sites faster and in more detail, due to having a better understanding of what makes a good or bad site. Hopefully soon though the task will be completed and we will start to work out which companies could do with some help!
Anyway, I will keep this blog regularly up to date, so be sure to keep checking for future write ups!

Well, this is my first post of many on my new internship at 3 Door Digital, who deal with digital consultancy, wordpress marketing and digital content.
The internship was organised by my tutors within one of my subjects, agency life within Manchester Metropolitan University, which I attend.
Upon welcoming me into their office I was properly introduced to Alex, Anna and Rhys, and was made to feel at home with a nice chat about my degree, 3DD and Manchester in general, and a good brew!
After that me and one of our team, Louis, were introduced to Paul, the Director of Operations at 3 Door Digital, over Skype. He then went through what we would cover over the next few weeks, and how to complete the task to a good level of quality.
Our task was to review websites that 3DD could possible offer their expertise where needed. We reviewed either web design agencies or lawyers firms, based on the below criteria:
-Their Google Page Rank, numbered from 0-10 which represents how important the website is, 0 being the not at all and 10 being the most.
-What social media they are integrated into- Sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Linked In amongst other sites are an easy way to make consumers aware of your business and recent news about it.
-Whether the site loads with and without WWW.
- Did the site have a blog or news page?
-Was it graphically appealing?
-Was it user friendly?
-What was its HP title tag?
At first when starting the task it took a while to understand how to get through the sites and properly assess them. However I found a lot of these sites were similar and therefore learn how to review them thanks to previous experiences.
Thats it for now, I will continue to update the blog and keep you posted on my development at 3DD! Bye for now!
