I’ve recently completed a new website for a skilled carpenter and general handyman based in Norwich, Trevor Waters.
The brief was to create a showcase for the craftsman’s work and allow clients to get in touch to request quotes and / or more information.
So, I have finally given in and signed up to another social networking tool. Twitter.
After leaving my Myspace account to rot, and barely touching Facebook since registering, I feel I’m not really the social network entrepreneur’s target customer…
All across London, a white sheet fell and halted day-to-day life. For the first time in a long time we have heavy snowfall! In fact, the heaviest snowfall for 18 years.
As mentioned in my previous post, Push Forward, I have the opportunity to make some vast improvements to the structure and coding of a new website that my employers are launching. Unfortunately, I’ve been instructed to complete the site as it is first, and worry about this stuff later – mainly due (I think) to the people in charge’s lack of understanding surrounding the advantages of designing and building to web standards.
I have therefore been scouring the Internet for ammunition to backup my argument when the time comes to put my case forward. There are a lot of useful articles out there, but for my purpose, this short presentation from boagworld.com sums it up excellently:
So, we are now well into the year 2009.
Unfortunately my aim to finish this and my freelance site over the Christmas holiday period was thwarted by the flu pandemic which seems to of hit the majority of the UK. However, all is not lost! I have now got my freelance site, design-is.co.uk, to a stage where I’m happy enough to push forward and get some stationery printed up and flyers/business cards handed out.

I thought I would make my first real post about something that wasn’t necessarily related to design or technology.
…is here and although I haven’t quite finished the site or even told anyone it exists yet, I have decided that this will be it. The beginning of my blog!
If anyone stumbles upon this in the future, wish me luck… and if you like anything you’ve read here, I ask you to pass a link to those you feel may also enjoy it.
Who knows what’s going to happen – Here we go!
