October

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!
