Free Mobiles

Not content with ever increasing mobile contract lengths, some networks actually want you to pay for the handset too. Pay!?! How cheeky is that. So to filter out the deals which ask you to pay for a phone, Uretopia has come up with a brand new website that only lists deals where you get a free mobile phone as part of the offer.

We're pleased to welcome freemobilephone.co.uk into our portfolio of sites in the mobile sector. It's 90% complete - just awaiting work on a logo for the site.

Tennis Stuff

It might not be the tennis season, but with indoor courts tennis fans can enjoy the game all year round. Uretopia has recently registered tennisequipment.org.uk with a view to creating the first cross-merchant site dedicated to the best deals on tennis equipment. From clothing and rackets through to practice machines and new balls.

Tennis Equipment is now in the development stage and we hope to launch a site there before the end of 2009.

New Local Domains

I picked up a couple of domains last week to slot into the Uretopia Hyperlocal portfolio.

Clerkenwell.co.uk - because it's quite an interesting part of London, so that can go in the pile with the others.

Gravesham.co.uk - Interesting one this because Gravesham is more of an administrative term for the borough rather than a place that people think of - Gravesend would be the major town in the borough that would most often be used to refer to the place. But with Gravesend not available, this was a bit of a vanity purchase since it's the borough in which Uretopia is located.

Chic Hotels - Bed, Breakfast & Glamour included

The hotel world has many different flavours and varieties to it. You get the large, international chains that give you a roughly uniform experience if you're in Paris or Peking, Dublin or Dusseldorf. The good thing about these is that you pretty much know what you're getting. The downside is that they are not very... interesting.

Contract that with the chic glamour of boutique hotels. Designer rooms, iconic styling and unique experiences are the hallmarks of boutique accommodation which is increasingly the top choice of the distinguised traveller.

It is with that in mind that Uretopia has launched a new website specifically aimed at this niche: BoutiqueHotels.co.uk

The site will carry news from the Boutique Hotel industry, reviews of our favourite hotels and editorials on locations from the UK and further afield.

Who's Henri ?

Henri Studios are based in Chicago and are one of the most renowned designers and manufacturers of cast stone garden features and fountains. Their attractive designs add a high quality focal point to any garden into which they are put.

We've just given our Water Features website a makeover and added a page dedicated to Henri Water Features. Check it out if you want to add a touch of class to your garden.

Things To Do On Cottage Holidays

We've been busy lately with our cottage breaks website (www.cottagebreaks.co.uk). With the value of the pound being quite low, and of course the recession, many people are opting to stay in the UK for their hols this year.

Our Cottage Breaks website has been listing cottage breaks around the UK for quite a while, but we've started to "add value" with content on location specific pages on things to do in those areas. It's going to be a long and arduous process doing it for all the counties but we've made a start:

• Cottage Holidays in Norfolk
• Cottage Holidays on the Isle of Wight

Wobble Your Way To Fitness

Vibration Trainers are an easy way to get a work out and all you have to do is... stand on it. The platforms send vibrations cascading up through your body giving you the equivalent of a low intensity workout. Vibration training is good for you circulation and your body tissue and structure.
