Love the new site! So fresh and modern looking; I almost didn't recognize it. Good job, everyone. I look forward to all the future updates.

Thanks everyone! I've just noticed something about Google searches for the first time, after 7 years! If you search for Hayley Westenra the HWI website is usually about 8th on the first results page, after all the big professional websites and the Google self-promotions. But if you search for hayley westenra (no capital letters) we are 2nd, after Hayley's official website (who pay to be top). Not a lot of people know that, well I didn't! I just hope that when Google picks up the redesigned HWI site in a few days time, our rankings don't all go pear-shaped! Cheers, Dave

Hi, Dave... pretty interesting. From Google.es HWI don't appear at all in the first page, whether you write Hayley Westenra with or without capital letters.
If I go to Google.co.uk but keep the language as Spanish, HWI websita appears as sixth however you write your search. Interestingly, if I change the language to English and search in Google.co.uk, it appears 5th when I search with capiital letters and 7th without capital letters.
In Google.pl our website doesn't appear either the language is set to Spanish or Polish, however I found something very interesting. I think I'll definately put that information in the the proper threads.

Hi.
I've dropped in quickly for a passing moment and haven't read the precursors. However, just to contribute, all I do is tap in "hwi"and Google places us first option! I click on that and I'm in.
Yours aye

Hi everyone, Thought you might like to know that we've added a few things recently to the HWI main website. www.hayley-westenra-international.com/ such as: - Details of Hayley's recent Twitter messages, automatically updated with new ones - and an archive;
- Photo Galleries - five new galleries so far and more will be added (and all the old galleries are viewable in the Archives)
- Cosmetic: a nice new 'Salisbury' poster on the front page;
- Up to date News and Events information as always.
We will be adding more new features as we continue to develop the site and we hope you like it so far. Cheers, Dave

Thanks for your kind comments, Joanne and Martin D! I don't think we should take over the running of Hayley's official website. We'd be in competition with ourselves! Best wishes, Richard

Hi everyone, I've just noticed that on the main site, we've passed 100,000 page views since the site was re-launched in April. That's about 500 a day and here is a cropped screenshot for posterity. We continue to add new things to the site as and when we think of suitable enhancements. Cheers, Dave
