Affordable email marketing

Email Marketing may not be new, but until now it has been expensive.

We have teamed up with a group of developers in Australia, whose clients include Nike, MacDonalds and Yahoo.

The programme is simple and easy to use. The template can be adapted to your own design, and you can choose from a bunch functions as well - such as personalisation.

Naturally, it comes with full data analysis, so you can see live information of who clicked which links, how many times they opened it, forwarded to a friend etc.

So how come it's taken Northstar so long to send out a newsletter? Well you know what they say about the cobbler's boots ...

Website photography

Images can bring a website to life, capture attention and make your business stand out from the common herd.

With today's high speed conections and faster processing power, greater use of photography is now available - without compromising download times.

Shutterstock is a great source of images, and you can build up a library of hundreds of picures for only £149.

All you need to know

As the internet continues to expand into people's lives and buying decisions, the role of your website is becoming increasingly more important as a marketing tool.

We're constantly expanding our range of services and information on our newly pimped-up website.

Our services page will give you an overview of what we can offer, such as Content Management, e-stationery, online shops and email marketing.

While our client resources page is taking shape, with more articles to keep you up to date with advice and information, such as tips to improve your Google page rank results.

Why you should bin Internet Explorer

The people who build the web, view the web with Firefox - possibly the safest, fastest web browser available today.

Internet Explorer - even the latest version - is riddled with bugs and security issues.

Firefox has active protection from online scams, is totally customizable, and just makes websites look better.

Read more about Firefox features, or download it now, for free, and see the difference for yourself.
