Design is… Sep 15. 06

Jon Hicks sort of started a meme, be it unintentionally.

Suffice to say I couldn’t resist making a small Designers Republic inspired contribution of my own. :)

Flickrlicious May 16. 06

Without so much as a hint Flickr just went all Gamma on us. Finally out of Beta? That little tag was almost a part of the brand itself you know.

The navigational changes make sense, but getting used to them will take a few days. Of particular note is the fantastic new ‘“Organizer”:http://www.flickr.com/photos/organize/’ no longer with any added Flash.

Congrats to the Flickr team on a great update.

A fresh lick of paint for Pro-Bel Mar 02. 06

Another website I’ve been working on recently just went live. Pro-Bel produce control, signal distribution and innovative automation solutions for the broadcast market.

I rolled their new website using Expression Engine for Content Management. It’s a great off the shelf CMS with huge flexibility so I’m feeling like I made the right decision in selecting it way back in October. :)

If you just smile Feb 24. 06

I just finished up working on a website this week for a new client (Smile Photography), still a fair bit of placeholder copy about. The ingredients; XHTML/CSS, Bespoke Content Management, Auto Thumbnailing of Event Photos, all that kinda jazz.

I’m pretty happy with it, I’m in love with the simplicity and cleanliness and I think that’s just what’s required for a site which will primarily be used by visitors once only to browse and order prints.
