Simply Carpets and Flooring

I had a quick call the other day from a client asking me if a certain domain name was available and, if it was available, could I secure the domain name, build them a website, SEO it and get their email accounts sorted out.
Within half an hour I’d secured the domain, set up their hosting [...]

Newbies & Dreamweaver

A friend of mine has decided that he wants to be a web designer and has enrolled in a course to learn the basics of web design. It’s been really interesting getting feedback from him on how people regard web design these days and the most common thing he reports back about is that everybody [...]

MOO II

My MOO business cards arrived yesterday.
The business card holding box was very solid and cardboard rather than the usual plastic boxes, made from recycled pulp and biodegradable.
The MOO branding was fun & funky, as you’d expect, with a paper wrap on the outside of the card holder declaring
“Quick, schedule a meeting! Your Business Cards have [...]

Change is good. But yesterday I noticed some websites that once had very important links to my clients’ [...]

Photoshop Express

Photoshop is now available as an online service in the form of Photoshop Express. I’ll be back soon with some more info once I’ve tested it out…

Find & Replace line breaks in MS Word

As a designer I’m quite often working on text files here & there and sometimes cutting & pasting data from various sources into MS Word means that the formatting is all wrong (tip: paste into notepad first to strip formatting then paste that output into Word) or there’s no formatting at all.
For instance – [...]

OctaGate SiteTimer

I’ve been busy using a huge array of free web tools over the last few weeks and the OctaGate SiteTimer has proved to be very handy.
Whilst optimising the HTML and PHP code in a number webpages I used the SiteTimer, checking to see if there were any noticeable speed gains, and the OctaGate SiteTimer not [...]
