Our own website has gone through a variety of versions since we started our company. In the beginning, we worked with another designer, who led things design-wise, but since we went solo, our own style has emerged. But, even with updates and sometimes quite wholesale...
We're probably all used to - and now very wary of - the obvious scam emails that seem to drop into our inboxes on a daily basis. You know the ones... the sender is on their deathbed, with no living relatives, and you have been chosen to be the recipient of all of...
If something seems too good to be true, then it very often is. Not always, but usually. As we found out not so long ago... Completely out of the blue, we received a contact via our website from a well known events venue, enquiring about a new website, with a pretty...

We try to be as responsive as we possibly can be to clients’ needs. We try to get back to emails and calls in a timely fashion, and if we can’t we will always try to post something to explain why we haven’t been able to respond. We also always try and respond to...
