NMT Electrodes’ Website
NMT Electrodes manufactures Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) and Platinised Titanium Anodes for a wide range of electrochemical applications.
NMT Electrodes was established in 1993 in Durban, South Africa and, more recently NMT Electrodes (Australia) Pty Ltd was established in Perth, Australia.
This is a brochure website that lists all the products that they manufacture and also provides details on specifications on each. I developed this site from scratch, including the logo.
The XHTML is also W3C standards compliant.

Liezel’s Cause Website
Liezel’s Cause is non-profit foundation that has been initiated by Liezel Huber to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina and Rita. I helped Liezel out with this site to assist her cause.
The site did reach a PR6 in the first six weeks that it was live. The site also won a Platinum Awards from the Australian Web Designers Network. The award is judged on the following categories: Graphics, Artwork, Layout, Navigability, Functionality and Originality. Gold Website Awards… looks like they are a little behind in their judging…

Wineography’s Website
Wineography is one of my projects that is continually evolving and is continually growing. For the wine lover, this is a great place to record wine reviews and tasting notes. Not only will you be able to share you wine reviews but learn what others thought of other bottles of wine.
Wine forums help create a larger community and Wineography’s Wine Forums gives you that opportunities to discuss all you wanted to know about that Merlot that they didn’t like on Sideways… 
It is for beginners to connoisseurs; go ahead ask and learn.
It has expanded into a winery directory too. Each entry has its own mod rewritten page and is fully search engine opimised. All pages are created to be W3C compliant too!

The website that we developed for Cousins Steel is a brochure site that basically delivers an overview of what their primary activities are and list some of their clients.

Canonical URL Links / Tags
Posted by Chris in Search Engine Optimisation on March 25th, 2009
I have just been reading up on this new canonical link tag that the three top search engines have started implementing. Google, Yahoo and Microsoft have just announced a new tag, which we can use to tell the search engines which URL it should have for the current page. – yoast.com
In short, this is a way for SEO’s to help prevent duplicate content from being cached in search engines. This tag can be used on pages where there is duplicate information on a number of pages and points the search engines to the page that you would prefer to have cached. A good example is were you may have a page with variables in the URL like session keys or variables used to sort data. The same content will appear on many pages, but you don’t want duplicate content penalties. Even example.com and www.example.com, which point to the same page (normally), will show up as duplicate content.
Sample URL that may have duplicate content:
http://www.pagestrength.com/2009/03/canonical-url-links-tags/?source=firefox-search
Example canonical code that should be placed in the <head> tags:
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.pagestrength.com/2009/03/canonical-url-links-tags/" />
I intend to try it out on my referral system in my directories, so that any referrals that use ?ref=123 in the URL can rather “hint” to the search engines that I would prefer to use the home page… hmmm, I wonder if this will pass on PageRank at all. I hope so! I will test it and let you know… may take a few months I would say.
Matt Cutts explains it well, see below…
