Opt Out of Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on almost every website we built, manage or host. It’s a great tool and records so much data we can use to help move your website forward. The downside it, is records your browsing of your own site too, ending up on skewed date. There are things we can do to stop your own browsing of your website from affecting the recorded stats like exclude your IP address, but IP’s can sometimes be dynamic, possibly chancing daily!

We don’t know the motivation or reasons behind it, but Google just released a little browser extension for IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari & Opera that prevents your browser from sending data to their Analytics service. This means that you can browse your own site without skewing the data, but that you can also browse the competition without them tracking you.

If you want to browse covertly, install the extension.

Adventure Bar Site Launch

Once again we’ve been working with the lovely peeps over at Mystery Brand Design Studios and this time for London based bar chain Adventure bar.

The site uses WordPress as a base but we’ve built in custom plug-ins so the client can manage a venue specific cocktail gallery. The features html5 video, animated sprite images, and plugs directly into there booking system through API’s.
