⚠️ Would you have spotted this?

We want to make our clients and followers aware of fraudulent emails being sent by someone pretending to be from DBS Digital.

The example pictured looks convincing and even uses the name of our Managing Director, Julie Priestley.

But look carefully at the sender’s email address.

It is a Gmail account, not an .digital address.

We have already contacted our clients to make them aware, but wanted to share the warning here too.

If you receive an unexpected email claiming to be from DBS Digital, please do not click any links or open attachments until you have checked it.

Genuine client communications from our team will come from an .digital email address.

If you are ever unsure, please contact us directly. We would much rather you checked.

A few seconds checking the sender’s actual email address could make all the difference.

⚠️ Is your website quietly costing you enquiries?

Here are five warning signs to look out for:
🐌 Pages take too long to load
📱 The site is difficult to use on mobile
🧭 Visitors struggle to find key information
💬 Calls to action are unclear or easy to miss
📉 You’re attracting traffic, but receiving few enquiries

Your website should guide potential customers towards taking the next step. If it creates confusion, frustration or doubt, they may choose a competitor instead.

At DBS Digital, we design and develop user-friendly websites built to support your wider marketing strategy and turn more visits into valuable enquiries. 💻

🔐 October is Cyber Security Awareness Month, and website security is an essential part of successful digital marketing.

A hacked or poorly maintained website can lead to downtime, lost enquiries, damaged customer trust and warnings appearing in search results. It can quickly undermine the visibility and reputation your marketing has worked hard to build.

Secure web development should include:
🛡️ Regular software and plugin updates
🔑 Strong passwords and controlled user access
📲 Multi-factor authentication
💾 Reliable website backups
🔍 Ongoing monitoring and maintenance

Great marketing brings people to your website. Strong security helps ensure they find a website they can trust.

What makes you keep reading? 👀

Whether it’s an email, social post or website page, the opening line has an important job: capture attention and give people a reason to continue.

Avoid vague introductions and get to the point quickly. If the first line doesn’t earn attention, the rest of your message may never be seen.

What type of opening line catches your attention?

Too often, businesses overlook the importance of site protection - until it’s too late. From safeguarding customer data to defending against costly breaches, keeping your website secure should be a top priority.

The best way to ensure that you do not have a security breach is to hire an expert to design, build, secure, and maintain your website.
