Top of the class publishing

July 29, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Whenever you read about child education and learning the experts always say that reading is one of the most important aspects of a child’s development. Therefore when we came across an independent publishing house that was aiming to engage children with some fun and interesting activities on their website we thought we would do a review of their website so read on to find out more about Top That Publishing.

About The Site
The Top That Publishing website is nicely laid out and as they specialise in Children’s books they heavily promote their authors on the home page and through their shop.

After a few clicks of the mouse you see there is much more to the site. Under the section “things to do” there are a number of activities that have been designed specifically for Children, from drawing competitions to learning how to cook, all of which are aimed at engaging younger website visitors and in a round about way encourage reading. Additionally they are taking steps into new media with e books and phone applications which will help improve child learning especially as many youngsters know more about technology than their parents.

What We Think
Top That Publishing really do get top marks for the site, it is very engaging and kept some of office juniors very engaged this afternoon (so it must work!!). Any site that promotes better learning has to be a good one so that’s why What’sGoodOnTheWeb recommend a visit to the Top That Publishing website.

Eco shopping all in one

July 28, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Eco ShoppingIf you are anything like us here at WhatsGoodOnTheWeb we take the care of the environment very seriously. That’s why when we are shopping, either in the supermarket or online, we are always looking for eco-friendly products so when we find a site that has everything you need on it we like to let everyone know. That’s why we’ve put together this quick review of Biggreensmile.

About The Site
Biggreensmile is like many other shopping sites but with a difference, everything on the site is eco-friendly. They offer a range of household products from natural toothpastes through to energy saving products but the added advantage is there is no need to spend time hunting the shops as they have sourced all the products in one place.

In addition the site has some handy tips on saving energy and reducing your eco impact so even if you don’t buy anything from them they are a good resource for ideas around the home.

What We Think
Biggreensmile is a site you can’t help but like. The site is well laid out and offers some great eco products and the prices are comparable to supermarket shopping so there is no worries about being ripped off. If you’re looking for something that is slightly out of the ordinary that helps you do your bit for the environment give this site a go.

If you would like to know more about Biggreensmile and what you can do to help the environment from home please take a look at their website after you have read the review.

Find the right room Worldwide

Read the latest review of Roomatlas

As so many of us now travel the World on business or holiday finding the right place to stay can be a real problem. That’s why when we were told about Roomatlas we thought it may be a good idea to give it a quick review as we are always looking for what’s good on the Internet.

About The Site
Roomatlas.com is a fairly new site that plots hotels throughout the World. It’s slightly different than the standard hotels search as it gives you the ability to search in a town or city and then see the location on an integrated map, at the same time you can filter results depending on what you need. The process is fairly simple, enter the town you want to stay in and the map will zoom to that location. You can then drill down by inputting the exact location or area which then highlights the hotels that are listed. Once you have found the hotel you can read Trip Advisor reviews and add it to your wish list as well as seeing rates and other information.

What We think
We like the way Roomatlas is fairly simple to use. Information is clearly laid out and the interactivity is nice. The one thing we really like is that it does not try to bombard you with a sales pitch for the hotels like other websites do. The site only lists about 53,000 hotels worldwide but this l is growing all the time.

Next time you are off to a business meeting or going on holiday somewhere you don’t know we’d suggest you check out the site as it can give you a good idea where to stay and what the places are like in one simple and easy to use site.

We hope you like our website review, to visit Roomatlas please follow the link.

Help Reunite Pets with Their Owners

July 27, 2010 By Leave a Comment

The Nationalpetregister.orgWe all know that the UK is a nation of animal lovers from dogs and cats to the more weird and wonderful but unfortunately from time to time animals go missing. To many people their pet is part of the family and they will do anything to find them. Luckily there are kind individuals and organisations that take in lost animals but it is often difficult to reunite them with their owners.

When we were told about the nationalpetregister.org we thought we had to write a review of the site and tell our readers about it.

About The Site
Set up a few years ago, The National Pet Register aims to reunite pets with their owners. The site has a number of forums and listings as well as offering registered users the opportunity to register their cat or dog in case they get lost. Looking through the site many of their visitors use the site to list their missing animals in the open listings page which enables them to show a picture of the dog or cat as well as contact details if they are found.

What we Think
We really like the idea behind The National Pet Register and it is obvious that many people also think so because they use the site regularly. We’d recommend anyone who has found a lost cat or dog to visit the site where you can search by location or animal to see if you can reunite it with an owner. Because we are softies at heart here at WhatsGoodOnTheWeb we’ve added the site to our Top Rated for this month.

Please visit The National Pet Register for more information

Planning to Move Overseas

July 26, 2010 By Leave a Comment

With jobs hard to find at the moment many people are looking at taking their skills overseas but if you are already settled one of the major challenges can be how to move your home and family. Getting good practical advice and support can be very difficult for the move so one of the leading overseas movers, Crown Relocation, have come up with a website that helps people plan their move called Moveoverseas.

About The Site
Moveoverseas is designed to give people thinking about moving overseas a guide to the process from where you could go, to the likely costs associated with the move. As part of the site they have created an area called My Move which enables you to put together a personal planner for your move to help remember all the things you need to which is very well put together and helps take a great deal of stress away from the process.

What We Think
Although Moveoverseas is mainly aimed at selling the Crown Relocation service the site does have some very useful information and the My Move section is very well thought out. At WhatsGoodOnTheWeb we’d recommend anyone who is thinking of moving overseas to take a look at the website as it’s advice is clear and could give you a very good guide to the process.

For more information about Moveoverseas please visit the website.

Supporting Mums In Business

July 26, 2010 By 1 Comment

The Mumsclub WebsiteLast week I read an article that said there were thousands of new businesses starting each month due to the recession but it forgot to mention how many women want to return to work after having children but don’t want to go back to the same job. Looking around the Internet we’ve found a number of websites that are aimed at these aspiring entrepreneurs but many of them are aiming to sell a service rather than offer real practical advice and support.

When we came across Mumsclub we therefore couldn’t resist writing a review as it is one of the best websites out there offering practical advice as well as hints and tips on how to set up your own business.

About The Site
Aimed at aspiring female entrepreneurs the Mumsclub website has lots of information, articles and easy to follow guides on how to decide on a business idea, develop the concept and market it, as well as making it work with an already busy schedule. The information is provided free of charge and also has some great inspirational success stories about other women who have set up their own businesses after having children.

As the majority of the information, guides and advice is given for free it means that even a casual visitor can get a great deal from Mumsclub. In addition there are member forums and discussion areas where users can share ideas to help their own businesses take off.

For those who want some help in promoting their business there is small subscription of £60 per year which gives access to exclusive forums as well as information on media requests and a listing on the Mumsclub marketplace which is very good value.

What We Think
Mumsclub is a very well laid out site that gives a great deal of free information to the visitor which is something we fully support at WhatsGoodOnTheWeb. Content is well written and clear and the writers really know their subject.

We’d say that Mumsclub is one of the best sites on the web for Women who are looking at setting up their own business and to be honest even if you are not a Mum this is a great site for some really good advice (Dads take note.)
