Love your business blog

Love your business blog…and it will love you back.

Posting a business blog entry can be a little like date night. Ok, it doesn’t tick all those boxes.

But it does involve setting aside time to foster your relationships with your customers.  It can provide a break from the routine of a day in the office or on the floor, and a chance to let your creativity off its leash.

Giving kids a running start

Run for the Hills!

Relax – this is not an order, but an exciting new charity event. Combining healthy outdoor activity with fundraising for kids, Run for the Hills is just the type of thing we like to be a part of. Orion Creative signed up as a gold partner of this worthwhile event. While we were at it, we offered to put their website together, too.

That post-holiday glow

Your website is one of the most important ways to communicate with your clients. At Orion we think of our site as our hardest working employee, tirelessly out there 24/7, getting to know clients on our behalf. That’s not to say our other employees (pictured) aren’t hard working, too – but for one selfish reason or another they all demand regular leisure time.

Our website on the other hand had worked non-stop for 627 days with not so much as a coffee break, so it was finally time to indulge our best employee. After a sojourn of mud packs and cocktails by the pool, our website is back, looking – we think you’ll agree – refreshed and sporting a glorious post-holiday glow.

Great for schools…even better for parents

Scrunched up notes glued with squashed banana to the bottoms of school bags will be a thing of the past, thanks to the good people at Active School Apps. This versatile app-based system makes communication a breeze for a school community, saving a whole lot of paper at the same time.

Of course, a product as innovative and user friendly as Active School Apps needs a website and marketing to match. This is where Orion came in.

This won’t hurt, we promise!

An eye-catching illustration often lingers in the mind of a customer along with its message.

Several of our graphic designers are also skilled illustrators who delight in the chance to get out their coloured pencils to help clients get a message across.

Why aren’t I ranked first on Google?

This is a question we hear all the time at Orion, and it’s not an easy one to answer. Google is constantly updating their own algorithm to provide users with the best possible search results, and the trend in recent years is to reward sites with great, well-written and original content over sites that spam keywords throughout their copy in an effort to rank. Meta keywords are out – great content is in!
