Smart Art's latest project; a full blown Content Management System based website for Fforest Fields, was opened to the public at the weekend. The new website includes many innovative features and is driven by not one, but TWO databases - one for the site content and another for the photo gallery. The site's owners have already added new articles successfully using the highly intuitive back-end Administration System. You can view the site here: http://www.fforestfields.co.uk

There was a time when paying for something by cheque was the norm for the majority of people, but with the soaring popularity of credit and debit cards in the UK it seems as though cheque transactions are becoming a primitive payment method that will soon be left trailing.

And so, in line with most retailers in the UK, Smart Art will, in January next year, cease to accept cheques as a valid payment for our services.

There has been a lot of sentimental fuss about the "death of cheques" following Marks & Spencer's, Asda's, Tesco's, Curry's, Somerfield's and many other stores decision to stop accepting them in their stores. If you're still relying on chequebooks to make regular purchases in the 21st century, it's surely time to change.

Smart Art is simply the latest in a long line of companies – including M&S,  Boots, Argos, Sainsbury's, Next (the list goes on and on) – to stop accepting cheques, and I imagine that many more will follow in years to come. Personally, I wouldn't mind if my bank took away my chequebook altogether – I no longer use it, preferring to pay all bills with a debit card.

Smart Art recently offered our clients the chance of getting a CMS built for half-price. We were offering 3 fully designed and built CMS (Content Management Systems) at half the normal price...

So far, 2 have now been ordered...

But we still have one left on offer, and it's strictly first come, first served...!

Many of you have a text link on your pages along the lines of "Hosting by Smart Art" - what you don't know is that the link could be earning you money!!!

Our new Affiliates System has just been upgraded, with an increased commission percentage, now at 15% PLUS a Welcome Bonus of £25.00 !!!. This new system allows you to earn money just by recommending Smart Art's services...

Activate your affiliate account today to:

• Receive an initial bonus deposit into your affiliate account of £25.00
• Earn 15% of every payment each customer you refer to us makes for the entire duration of their hosting account - which could be YEARS!

When you refer someone to our website with your unique referral ID, a cookie is placed on their computer containing this ID so if they bookmark the site and come back later you will still receive the commission when they sign up later.

To activate your affiliate account simply go to the Client Area at www.cms-wales.co.uk/clients and login. (if you have forgotten your Client Area username and password use the "Password Reminder" function available there) Once you have logged in just click the "Affiliates" link in the left hand menu, then click the "Activate Affiliate Account" button and your affiliate account will be opened and your £25.00 bonus will be deposited into it.

You will then be given a "referral link" and you can give the link to those you would like to recommend our services to - they follow the link, and if they sign up for Hosting or Website Promotion you will earn 15% of ALL their fees for as long as they stay with us. Once your affiliate account balance reaches £50 or over you can then withdraw the funds into your own Hosting Account and use it to pay your own invoices - recommend enough people and you can pay for your hosting account entirely by recommendations!

Finally - once your affiliate account is opened we also offer you THREE ways to link to us from your own websites - we have 1 banner option, 1 Button option or 1 Text Link option, and if you choose to place any of these anywhere on your own site then any of your visitors that signs up for hosting after clicking the banner, button or text link on your site will also earn you money in addition to your own referrals. (so for those of you who already have a text link/s to Smart Art, as soon as you activate your affiliate account we will add your unique ID to the link/s so it can begin to earn you money). Those who wish to increase their earning power can elect to have a banner or button installed instead of a text link - the choice is yours.

PS - You do NOT need to have a website hosted with Smart Art in order to earn commission, all you need is a Smart Art "Client Area" account login and password, so those of you without websites that use other Smart Art services such as purchasing domain names or promotion services, can still benefit when you pass on your referral ID when recommending us to others...
