Our new website in final phase
June 2008
For some time now, we have been talking about creating a new website for Cyonix. But like every small business, time is of the essence, and non-critical internal marketing is not often considered a priority.
We have been working on our new site for the past 2 months now, and we are pleased to announce that it’s in its last phase of development. Our new site has a brand new look and feel and we can’t wait to unveil it to the world!
Due to us focusing on the new site launch, we would like to take this opportunity to inform our users that we will no longer be updating this site. We will indeed keep the latest news and portfolio content fresh.
Now taking on freelance projects
May 2008
Hey everyone. As you all know, over the past year we've been busy working in partnership with Fused Technologies (part of the Fused Group) providing them with lead design and web accessibility services. Together with our client web projects, it would be fair to say that it kept us more than busy. It's been a great few months and we thoroughly enjoyed working with the highly skilled Fused Tech team.
However, all good things must come to an end, and although we continue to work with Fused on specific projects, we are happy to announce we are now taking on Freelance projects again! As always, our web services remain the same and we continue to grow our partnership network to expand our products and services. If you would like more information about our freelance or web services please contact us for details. Oh and our new site is imminent - so watch this space!
Busy, busy, busy!
Aug 2007
We would like to apologise to all of our site users for the delay in the Cyonix website re-design!
For the past 3 months we have been consulting for Poptech (as well as Cyonix day-to-day operations) and have been responsible for most of Poptech’s designs, accessibility and site builds. We also admit that we haven't had much time to add recent work to the Cyonix portfolio (apologies to all clients who we told how imperative it is to keep content fresh!). However, we will be putting time aside in the near future to rectify all of the above and show you our shiny new work!
This aside, we are always looking to work with new people, so please feel free to contact us if you would like to disucss our web services.

Take Stock of your Marketing Strategy for 2007
January 2007
A very Happy & Prosperous New Year to all! 2007 brings new opportunities to every business owner. January is a slow month for many industries, with smaller businesses usually baring the brunt. However it's not all doom and gloom.
Quiet dips can be used to take stock of your marketing strategy, promotions and campaigns. Ask yourself, do my current marketing operations promote my business effectively? You may have a great service/product, ethos and company identity, but no means of efficiently conveying this to your customers. Good marketing is crucial to a brands success, and every business owner should periodically review their marketing activities.

Sharon (Lee) Saxton returns from Babson College
November 2006
Sharon (Lee) Saxton discusses the New Entrepreneur Transatlantic Scholarship at Babson College.
On arriving at Babson, we were given time to acclimatise and familiarise ourselves with the new surroundings of the Babson Executive Centre. The Babson grounds are a delightful mixture of leafy woods, tranquil ponds with a variety of native wildlife. It was a sunny St Columbus day, and the Babson grounds posed a beautiful contrast of falling autumn leaves and dazzling sunshine. There was a definitive aura of business excellence and high achievement within the centre, with evidence in the form of mounted portraits that told a thousand stories. 5 am at the gym was a picture of executives using exercise equipment powering up for the day and reading reports.
"Fasten your seatbelts its going to be a bumpy ride" were the exact words of the head of the European institute of Babson College on induction day. Our mentor Mike Gordon, a serial Entrepreneur himself explained that we were about to embark on a two week MBA style programme that usually spans over two semesters!

Cyonix shortlisted for Visionary Design Awards
February 2006
Cyonix website has been shortlisted for the fourth annual Visionary Design Awards, highlighting organisations that have excelled in ensuring their web-based services are accessible to blind and partially sighted people across the UK.
The Visionary Design Awards are part of an ongoing campaign by the National Library for the Blind (NLB) to encourage website publishers and designers to consider the needs of visually impaired people when they are designing their sites. NLB estimates that less than a third of websites are currently accessible to visually impaired people who use technologies such as magnification, text to speech, and refreshable Braille in order to access web-based services.
