Who wouldn’t enjoy sifting through loads of vibrant, energetic pictures of kitesurfers, bmx-ers wind surfers and vw’s for the new lifestyles website?! Particularly as Steve and I are both keen kiters and will soon get to have kite surfing lessons from the guys at http://www.hunstantonwatersports.com/ as part of the involvement of the website. Nice

new lifestyles festival website (screenshot)

Launched today, and using Lingo’s loaf cms, the design and content so far has been an easy, fun and collaborative experience with the cooler than cool Tony, Sports Development Officer from the King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council. With the freedom  to stretch our creative legs to something a little out of the ordinary, we also teamed up with a few other creative bods like Jim from Volt Productions for the video and Bex Photography for many of the pics)

As the site grows in size with more info and interaction leading up to the climax of a awesome weekend in July, we’ll update the Lifestyles and Lingo blogs with all the news as it happens, so be sure to watch this space… and if it’s not updated quick enough for your liking, then you can always follow me on Twitter. If that’s not updated quickly enough, I’m sorry…I’m probably too busy designing sites or flying kites…!

A nice illustration of, well, the title says it all!

I’ve been trying a bit of screencasting to demonstrate to new customers how we plan websites; http://bit.ly/8s4SeI

This was my first shot. It’s pretty rough, and needs scripting/storyboarding properly before I attempt it again!

Claire’s got a new machine, that’s faster and way cooler than her old one, which was practically pre-historic! I’m sure it will improve our efficiency and speed, and it means she can start learning Dreamweaver, because the machine can handle it!

Leisure Skate’s latest rink makes the headlines! Preaching on ice | The Sun |News.

Check out the sun’s puns – I particularly like the ‘Serv-ice’ one!

Congratulations Sharon and Richard, at Leisure Skate you’re fame-ice….! (I’ll stick to my day job!)

The lead up to the Christmas shopping season has definitely felt different this year – but it’s definitely here: Black Friday. Black Friday shopping – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Each year, there are last minute panics about Christmas promotions, rushed searches through stock libraries for images of Christmas trees, holly and snow, and there always seems to be much confusion about how best to structure your marketing activities around this point. Next year I aim to offer a more structured lead up to this important date in the calendar to help clients plan their marketing activities around.
