Creating a social networking website with Wordpress
By lisa, 18.01.10
We recently got asked to quote on building a social networking website (we were asked by a design agency and we're secret-subcontractors so I'm afraid I can't give examples of the site now it's done) and we gave prices for both a bespoke solution and a wordpress set up (the…
UnwinPhotography.co.uk - new site launches
By lisa, 18.01.10
I built the Unwin Photography website many moons ago (before 18a was even heard of or I'd even met Tom!) and as their business has developed they've needed new things from their site - so the time had come to create a smart new design, with fresh content and lots…

By lisa, 6.01.10
Two working days into the near year and we're setting sites live already! JACJoinery.co.uk is a remake of the client's old site, which was built in Microsoft FrontPage. JAC used FrontPage to update their website... but when they got a new computer they were faced with having to buy more…

I usually always do a wordpress install, but for quickness on that occasion I set up a blogspot blog, and used the editing…
"Undoing" an oscommerce shop
By lisa, 6.11.09
Whilst online shopping is still a rapidly growing sector, it's not right for every business. A client who came to us last year for an e-shop have since decided that whilst having the products online drive sales, actual orders come from direct enquiries. They deal with plumbing supplies, and so…
RSS making machine!
By lisa, 3.11.09
I'm loving rssa.at at the moment! We're kitting all our clients out with free RSS feeds, which can then be fed into Twitter or a Facebook Fan Page. For muchbetteradventures.com it's great, because I've been able to make them feeds for all the different areas of their site in just…
