I will be co-hosting a 1 day business seminar in Leeds, UK on Saturday 6th Feb at the Queens Hotel. This is for business people who want to learn more about how to use their websites, social media marketing and multimedia to promote and grow their business. I'll be sharing my experiences of helping businesses grow and talking about those factors that promote success and also my observations of what holds people back.

There are now only a few tickets left so for those of you that could do with improving your strategies and finding new ways of generating business then come along. It promises to be a very valuable seminar!

Here's the details for the event:

The Art of Good Fortune for Business, 6th Feb 2010

Nick Kemp's "Stories from the Outside Inn" website is built and hosted by Sparticle Limited and makes extensive use of our spartav audio visual galleries and spartusers members only modules to provide images, audio and mpeg video streams to clients who are registered on the site. It's a great example of the spartmodules in use. To find out more about the Stories From the Outside Inn project visit the website.

Nick Kemp's quote when he saw the latest addition to the site was "Brilliant" - another happy customer.

We've been adding lots of useful things to this site to make it easier for you to get all the information needed to have a great website designed and built for you. You'll find a FAQs section, and under the Profile link there's now a list of some of our business, sole trader and organisation clients so you can see examples of the work we do. And then there's our Spartmodules - which are a great way to add, blogs, shopping carts, news, galleries and more to your site. If that's not enough we've added a page on web hosting, which you'll find under the services link.

While we offer a number of plugin modules for our hosted clients we occassionally get requests that are much more bespoke. We were recently contacted by Doug O'Brien in the USA  to see if we could build a new site for selling a single downloadable product. We used our expertise gained from developing our spartcart and our google checkout know-how to build his successful "Sleight of Mouth" website where people can download his Sleight of Mouth training product.

Doug's simple but elegant site is now selling his product online, and since it's a download only product... he's making money in his sleep!

We are proud to announce that the Spartcart online e-commerce module is now available. In fact it is already being commercially used by a number of our clients and you can see an example of the spartcart online store in action.

We asked Nick Kemp for his feedback after he retired several different eShops and moved everything over to the Spartcart solution.

"The spartcart is a great solution, I love the way it is fully integrated into my site and the layout and usability is very simple and friendly, making it a lot easier for people to find and buy my CD and DVD products. I'm also using it to sell tickets for events and it can even handle free downloads too!"

And importantly from a sales perspective the proof is in the fact that sales through the shop are increasing! There's lots of cool features from

• SEO improvements
• multiple product category support
• Google Checkout integration
• Supports images and videos for each product
• Supports internationalized delivery and tax choices
• Lots lots more

We'll be putting up more information very soon about this exciting product. In the meantime simply contact us and we'll happily discuss Spartcart and other IT innovations with you.
