use your mobile device on yortech.net

We have just installed a mobile version of our site as we work a great deal on these – usually iPhones but we have the odd windows mobile device too.

You do not have to do anything to view the mobile site as we are using automatic redirects.  Simply browse the site on your mobile device and the mobile site should appear automatically.

requesting support

We operate an online support ticketing system, this ensures that you get the fastest response possible as the system automatically sends you request to the pople with the right skills to help, all you have to do is create a support ticket.

You may, of course, get in touch with your yortech contact directly, however this is often not the fastest way to gain attention if they are away from their machines for any reason (out of hours, breaks, meetings, holidays, etc.).

New clients can either contact us or use the support ticketing system to get in touch with the right person to deal with your enquiry.  We no longer publish contact phone numbers as all of us yortech practice what we preech; mobile working from anywhere.

twitter

Love, hate or indifferent, it is an important way to stay in touch with some.  Therefore we are on it – all our postings, edits and updates are tweeted automatically at http://twitter.com/yortech.  Follow us and we’ll follow you.

web 2010

Our aim in business is to enable non-technical people to manage their own technology as much as possible and we’ve been writing web content management systems (CMS) for the web for many years as a result, dating back to 1994 using PERL and flat file databases and moving on to PHP and MySQL in later years (although I still think PERL is the bee’s knees).

In the last couple of years we have been watching the development of open source CMS systems with interest and have generally installed any we came across to see if it was worth us (and certain clients) switching to a new piece of software.  Generally there has always been a problem of some kind:

  • a lot of system specific training required
  • too user unfriendly
  • not flexible enough
  • no good for search engine optimisation (seo)
  • resource hungry
  • too slow
  • difficulty in customisation to make one site look very different from another quickly

As a result we have quickly discounted many of the most popular systems out there, until recently until a system we had previously discounted released a new version – wordpress.  We have been testing it behind the scenes for some time to see what, especially, seo results were  (with a few of our own very minor tweaks) and we have been so impressed that we have decided to use it ourselves and setup new clients requiing statically designed sites (i.e. headers etc., do not change on a page by page basis) (such as Jonathan Perks‘ site).

If you would like to see how Wordpress can work for you, contact us – we’ll install it free if you host your site with us.
