beware scam emails

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...

When Things Aren’t Quite As They Seem…

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...

A Little Politeness Goes a Long Way…

A Little Politeness Goes a Long Way…

When we receive a design enquiry, we take it very seriously. If someone has taken the time to approach us, we assume that they have visited our website and like what they see. Like it enough to actually make contact with us. The first thing we do, when we receive an...
