About

Webologist is simply a study of the Internet. With a wide range of topics, from news on the leading Internet companies, the effect of the global economic downturn on web business, information on web design and website administration, fun stories from around the web, advice on search engine optimisation, software and new technologies. This site is a blog, but published in the style of web magazine.

The author: Webologist is written solely by Jon Wade. Jon is relatively new to the internet business. He started playing about with Websites as a hobby in 2006. He is from a non-IT background – Geography BSc and over 10 years experience in the banking and asset management industry. In 2006 he decided to look into web design, and started building websites for himself. In doing so, he was forced to learn about Apache web servers, web marketing and search engine optimisation, database management, as well as CSS/HTML web design. He admits that he still so much to learn, and is really just a novice in this industry. Webologist is mostly a blog about learning the way of the web, and becoming a Webologist.

Jon also runs MotleyHealth.com, which he started building in June 2006 as a way to learn web design. The site has grown rapidly in the last 3 1/2 years and is now one of the leading health and fitness websites, with over 290,000 monthly page views. On the back of this he has started to build a web design business, Morrowtech.co.uk which is still in its infancy, but has already one satisfied client in 5 Elements Martial Arts. He hopes that the web design business will be a safety net in the event that the banking sector totally collapses later this year!

Update: The collapse came. Now a full time web entrecôte. Commute is shorter, but no staff canteen.
