Sites we can submit web design news to...
-
Hey Mozzers - happy 2013 to one and all, I hope everyone had a great festive season!
Now we're all back into the swing of things, we're in the process of getting our new website up and running. We're a web and graphic design agency, and I'm putting together checklists to ensure we get new projects some coverage where deserved.
There will be a different checklist for the different disciplines - brand design, packaging, web design and so on.
For many of these disciplines, there are multiple news sites that we can reach out to when we have relevant stories - Dieline for packaging, for example.
But for web design, any searches I do either show up CSS Galleries / portfolios (which I already have on the checklist under another section) or web tutorial sites. I don't seem to be able to find decent, trustworthy sites that exclusively feature web news.
I'm sure they exist and it's just a case of 'can't see for looking', but does anyone know of decent sites that carry news stories about new websites going live?
Obviously we know not every new site will be newsworthy - and indeed we wouldn't try to submit every new site we have go live for that very reason - but it would be good to have a clutch of high authority, well visited sites to turn to when we do have something of note.
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks Mozzers!

Hi Jason,
It's a shame that there's not really anything out there, but that's a good idea about looking at the industry specific sites - the only thing with that is that the checklist was supposed to help others if I was off on holiday or whatever, a nice, easy list of URLs that someone else in the office could send stuff to, but I have enough other sites for this not to matter too much.
Thanks for your help!

Unfortunately i had the same job a couple of months ago to find people to write about new website design we did for a hotel. The truth of the matter is, in my experience mind you, there are very few news sites talking about web design except for those design galleries that will write about something submitted to them, and even then they won't always do it. However, if you did do a web design for an industry you might want to get writers from that industry to write about the new website rather than just the web design community. That was the way I went about it because I couldn't find exactly what you are looking for. Hope that helps.

Hi Jason,
Sites that will talk about it in a news format. We're pretty well covered for the design gallery angle, but it seems these gallery sites are the only ones that come up in searches when trying to find sites with a more 'newsy' angle.

are you looking for design galleries to submit your web design to, or are you looking for news sites that will talk about your web design in a news format?

Standardising of Company Name Across The Web Question
Good Morning All There are two variations of our company name on the website. Sometimes the name is listed as "name and name" and sometimes listed as "name & name" The domain is obviously www.nameandname.co.uk I believe I am correct in saying that we would be wise to go through and standardise, using one form or the other? Secondly, my main question is would we be wise to use "name and name" as the default, as the word "and" and not the symbol "&" is in the domain itself? Many Thanks

Can we use SEOMOZ to get insights/data on the members of a twitter list?
It would be so useful if we could get insights into the members of a twitter list in the same way we can get statistics on the people we search through the "search twitter bio" options (following/followers/RTs/Social Authority/etc). This is possible through the twitter api but it limits to 20 list member which is useless. Anyone know of a solution? Thanks!

Author Site And Book Site - Multiple Sites Bad Idea?
The question: I've been doing work for authors lately and a common question is if they should have a site for their book and a site for themselves. Separate sites with different domain names. At first I thought this would be a bad idea. Why spread information across two sites if they can be related and used together in one? But I see a lot of authors doing this and some with marketing companies. One site for the author with information about them, their books, their social media presence. Then another site for their book, with new social media accounts, other info, etc. What do you guys think? Has anyone tried both and seen any pros and cons? Is there a perfect answer?

How do can I compete with 60-80 Domain Authority?
As the title says, how can I compete with competitors that have a domain authority of 60-80? (Only around 2-3 major competitors) However I would like to compete with them. Is anyone else in this situation? What did you do? I've read a lot about building backlinks etc etc but surely theres more to it. I've got to rank 1500+ subcategories for my niche and it's nearly impossible to do so. Thanks to all who reply!

Mobile Web Apps
Our newspaper website has an extensive readership in the US, UK, Australia and UAE. Should we go for a mobile web app? Is that worth the investment considering the fact that you have to design different apps for different devices. Or does a mobile version of the website work fine? Also, are there any specific guidelines that you shoudl follow when designing web apps with regards to SEO? Also, if you could point out some good resources for getting web apps designed, that would be great! Thanks, Rishad.
