Model behaviour from rebuilt WordPress website

Model Ruth Crilly’s well-known website A Model Recommends is a popular place for fashion and beauty tips. But when the WordPress site was hacked it displayed far from model behaviour and started redirecting people to virus-ridden websites. Ruth called in Perceptant 101 to rebuild it.

A thorough investigation of the site determined how much damage the hacker had done and what content could be saved. Perceptant 101 then moved the hosting of the site to its own dedicated servers and hardened the server configuration so it would be more resilient to hacking attempts. A robust backup system was also established, to make sure content couldn’t be lost in the future.

Perceptant 101 then reinstalled the WordPress content management system and upgraded it to the latest version. A thorough cleansing removed all malicious code from the content files before the freshly scrubbed WordPress theme was reinstalled and all the archive content imported.

Restored to its former beauty, the rebuilt website is now functioning with a grace worthy of the catwalk. And beneath its stylish exterior it’s also a model of resilience against future attacks.

Emergency Plumber Plugs a Gap in Sheffield

Fame Services UK, is a company focused on providing quality emergency services to UK households, including Plumbing, Glazing, Electrical and Locksmiths.

Recent expansion has seen the company begin to provide targeted geographical areas with specific services. This includes emergency plumbing services across Sheffield in South Yorkshire.

On the strength of this, Perceptant101 and Fame Services devised a web strategy, whereby each service and area would be covered by a specific website. The first of these websites is emergencyplumberssheffield.co.uk.

Developed in WordPress, the new site took three weeks to design, develop and optimise.

Launched during October 2011, the site has already been nominated for a number of design awards and now features on the first page of Google for keywords “emergency plumber sheffield“.

Off-line Marketing Still Works in an Online World

 Offline marketing still works you know. Take for example our own business, and a series of posters, that subject to approval, will be coming to a billboard near you soon.


Admittedly, they’re tongue in cheek, but it wouldn’t quite be Perceptant101 if they weren’t!
