A transport minister in the new coalition government has urged UK employers to adopt more flexible working practices and allow staff to work from home at least once every two weeks.

Norman Baker, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for the Department of Transport, believes an increase in home working will reduce transport congestion and pollution, eliminate rush hours and help the government create a low-carbon economy.

As we discussed in a previous blog your website is often the first point of contact prospective customers have with your business or brand, so it is essential that your site portrays your organisation in a dynamic and professional light.

However, in today’s multi-browser and multi-platform environment, your prospective and existing customers are just as likely to access your website on a smartphone or PDA or using a browser such as FireFox or Google Chrome.
