This email is a nice example of responsive design, content on mobile version looks quite different to desktop, the call to action has moved to just below the image and the copy to below.
They’ve also stripped out some of the content for the mobile version.
I’m generally used to installing WordPress through simple scripts. However I need to install it manually with 1 & 1 hosting package as it does not let you upgrade your WP installation if you use their click &build solution. This is quite annoying, however it will be good practice learning how to do it the manual way for future reference!
I have been googling my name, but can’t seem to see my website. The old website used to come straight up on the front page, usually top 3 – however with WordPress I had forgotten I need to tag my name in somewhere! Doh – – – I’m going to try out the all-in-one SEO plugin…
My website renders well on a mobile due to the grid style (that’s one of the reasons I picked this style) however I think I could probably apply a mobile stylesheet in so that it detects which device you are accessing the site from.
I’m currently working on website design project for a dry cleaning business. My client has purchased a 1&1 started hosting package on which I installed WordPress. I have just discovered there is a WP update available however 1&1 have restrictions so you cannot do the WP 1 click install to update! I have to do this manually through FTP…argh!
After a series of problems with go daddy – I have decided it is time to test the power of the cloud. I have a client that needs needs email access anywhere, anytime from any device – much like the culture of todays working world.
Originally email was setup through Go Daddy, however after numerous complaints, port faffing, shouts and screams we are now trialling out Google Apps for business…fingers crossed…
My first thoughts on setting up the Google Apps for Business account were:
BEAUTIFUL – I just don’t understand how most things on the web have become so aggravating for users. Google is notorious for making things stupidly simple – and guess what? I really think they have done it again. You are taken through an easy peezy step by step setup tutorial that tells you exactly what you need to know to get started quickly!
So far I am loving it…just setup a test user account for myself and some user accounts for the guys. I will be trialling using Google Apps on my Android device and MS outlook 2010

This was a freelance project. A new brokerage firm hired me to help them create their online presence. The goal of the site was for clients to initiate contact with the firm.
I decided to have another crack at using Joomla to develop a site today, having installed and played around with it a year ago, I quickly gave up. However having used SharePoint, a new motivation has developed for me to learn how to manipulate this open source CMS, one of the main reasons being that if I can offer clients a way to manage and update sites I have developed for them – it makes a more cost effective and time efficient solution for both myself and them in the long run.
Some concerns with Joomla include securing the application, customising templates and scoping out its limitations.
The aim of this assignment was to design a multimedia artefact or system that communicates something about a chosen place. In addition, we were also told to follow a specific design method to guide our activities. I chose to use the ‘Craft’ approach.
