Escapees enjoy some ‘carnage in the capital’

Escapees enjoy some ‘carnage in the capital’

Last Tuesday we did what we probably don’t do often enough. We downed our collective tools, put our ‘out-of-offices’ on, switched off the company mobiles (OK we didn’t do the latter but you get the jist) and took ourselves off to our glorious capital for a day of fun, laughter and a few bevvies. Every [...]

Appcelerator – A Friend Indeed (And in need)

Appcelerator – A Friend Indeed (And in need)

Generally we love Appcelerator (apart from a few annoying features!). Mainly because it means we, as a department, don’t have to spend six months with our heads stuck in Objective C books trying to work out the cryptic syntax (by all accounts you can get a cream for it). Some of our peers may think [...]

New stuff: Zip priority bus promotion

New stuff: Zip priority bus promotion

Every month we have our little internal get together to discuss what we’re going to shout about in our newsletter. Sometimes there are projects, that for various reasons, have been worked on and are looking great, but we can’t quite shout about them when we might like to. That’s just the way it has to [...]

Extending WP Commerce

Extending WP Commerce

Love it or hate it, WP Commerce is out there. OK it’s no Magento in terms of its scale and functionality, but for lightweight E-Commerce it does the job. We already have a couple of add-ons that we’ve built for our clients but we’ve decided to have a look at writing an online digital voucher [...]

Downtown Basra eat your heart out. There we’re no car bombs (we just couldn’t do it to our lego creations) but [...]

  • 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 [...]

  • Doing our bit for 'ch-ch-charidee mate': The Breast Cancer Care Fashion Show 2011

    Back in July I posted about our involvement with Breast Cancer Care and our charitable creative donation to help them out with the look and feel for their annual fundraiser… The Fashion Show. Time fly’s when you’re having fun and although (at the time) October seemed a million miles away, it soon came around, culminating [...]
