So, you are eleven years old and you want a bigger bedroom. You go to your parents and plead with them and your dad says, ‘You can have a new bedroom if you can find the money’

Do you:

  1. Huff off back to your Play Station muttering, ‘It’s so unfair’?
  2. Or do you create a web site competition to try and raise £30,000 to pay for a loft extension?

If you are Basingstoke Schoolboy, Connor Swain, you do the latter with prizeladder.co.uk

This follows hot the heels from 21 year-old Alex Tew, who created the, now world-famous, Million Dollar Home Page. Initially started to pay for his college tuition, Alex ended selling all of the pixels on his homepage, making the full $1 million.

  • New stuff: Honeywell F124 banner

    Its very early days, but we’ve started working with Honeywell. They’re based here in Basingstoke so our local-ness (pretty sure that’s not even a word!) is helpful when there’s a tight deadline to hit. This was the case with our first project for them, a pretty straightforward roller banner design for a show they were [...]
