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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Sometimes it’s nice to be let loose as a developer and told to “go and have some fun!”. It’s a rarity in this industry but without it we’d end up as stale as the crusts on a wholemeal loaf. Most of our web offering and services come from messing around with new bits of technology. [...]

With some clients, guidelines rule the roost and its always our challenge to push them as far as we can. After all, that’s our job. But there are also clients like EuroGeographics that hand over the creative reigns and say “you’re the professionals, do what you think is right”. Last year we worked with EuroGeographics [...]

Digital is obviously the more cost effective option, but for me, it’s still THE most effective and personal way of getting yourself in front of your audience. I also believe that if you’re going to do it, a little more investment is always [...]

Back in March we announced our involvement with Breast Cancer Care and our commitment to helping them out with their annual fundraiser… ‘The (fashion) Show’. As always, we looked to raise the bar in terms of the quality of creative to ensure 2011 stood out as the best show ever, from the moment you get [...]

We’ve had our PVA and cardboard out again. And this time it’s been for Wall Street Systems. This is our third year at the ACI World Congress with Wallstreet and as this is the 50th and biggest ACI to date, we thought it was about time we shared with you what we’ve been up to. [...]

Social media is a hot topic right now and there’s plenty of services out there… but which ones should you be using? Or more to the point, are there any you can afford not to be? To help guide you through the ‘t’internets social minefield’, we’ve put together a masterplan (aka… list) that’ll make sure [...]

On 26 May 2011, the amended Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations came into force, covering electronic marketing such as emails, faxes and text messages. They include some changes to the rules for “cookies” on websites, and introduce new powers which can result in monetary penalties if  the law may have been broken. Hold on, what’s [...]
