Digital Worlds

May 14, 2015

Just finished up a long term project with Digital Worlds at the University of Florida in Gainesville.

This web design project intends to reach young audiences with compelling content. It is a place for them to upload videos, share, collaborate and get insights into problems and issues that affect their peers. The “portal”, in a sense, centers around video content features:

Robust user management system
Users can private message each other or favorite videos. The user profile system allows them to upload an avatar, list their social network links and interact with the website.
The video upload system is custom build by Livewire, it features youtube and vimeo support. Using the power of embedly, the script automatically pulls all the information from the video into a format the website can use.
A unique category system gives the admins easy to use control panel for managing and categorizing videos
Content is held in queue for moderation – no naughty videos, everything must be suitable for minors

Swiftly understanding the needs of our clients Livewire was able to turn a tired wordpress installation to a scalable, sound web portal that gives users maximum interactivity.

Insurency SEO

Glad to have Insurency on board with the Livewire team. We did not make their website but we’ll be doing their Internet marketing. We have a great plan for them and will be proud to be competing alongside huge names like Geico and Progressive. It’s quite the challenge

HotOpponents Hack

We have seen this one a few times coming from WordPress but we have also seen it in Google Analytics code or simply in a header.php file. HotOpponents is a simple redirect script but really digs down and makes roots for itself throughout your website files and database.

Authority + Trust + Relevance = Rankings

Here you go – the magic formula for ranking on Google. Yes, Yahoo and Bing still matter … even though the third most searched term on Bing is “Google” – people trying to get back to Google, but they’re still relevant. It’s just easier to focus on Google

Linking Your G+ Page To Your Website

We always get asked: Does anyone use G+? Yes. Is it worth it? Again, Yes. Using Google’s products would obviously help your standing with their search algorithm. We don’t know this to be technically true but it certainly seems so in our experience. The more you use and
