Progress
Aug 18, 2010 0We have had a busy few weeks and so some of our internal projects, jimmyriddle.com and nickpics.co.uk, have been placed on hold. This has allowed us to get two of our clients sites up and running, these are Prestige Food (prestigefood.co.uk) and Headley Tyres (headleytyres.co.uk). We are still working on a few client sites, the next one to go live will be the Thatcham Festival of Arts and Leisure (thatchamfestival.info).
Thatcham Festival of Arts and Leisure
Jul 29, 2010 0We are starting work on a website that will promote the "Thatcham Festival of Arts and Leisure." The website, thatchamfestival.info, will list all the events happening during the week of the festival but also show reports, photographs, etc. from the activities. Keep your eyes out for this new site...
NickPics and other projects
Jul 26, 2010 0We noted in the previous post about some of projects that we were/are working on. Some of these for clients and include nutsnbolt.co.uk and Headley Tyres. Some of these will go online shortly and they vary from budget and economy versions to ecommerce and more.
JimmyRiddle and other projects
Jul 7, 2010 0We noted in our previous post that we are working on nutsnbolt.co.uk for a client. Well the work is now well underway and we have also started to move on other fronts as well. We have confirmed that nywd.co.uk is going (selling).
Upcoming
Jun 20, 2010 0We have been working on several sites here that are due to go live shortly, the first of which is a redevelopment of thatchamonline.net. We also have various other projects we have been and still are working on including jimmyriddle.com. We have however put a few domains up for sale as they were purchased for clients or projects that now look like they will not happen. These include nywd.co.uk and digital-slr.net.
Free Websites
Jun 17, 2010 0We are constantly being asked to develop websites for free for people. A common request goes like this "Dear Sir, we are a non-profit making group and require a website. We do not make a profit and therefore expect you to be able to create a website for us fo free." Some are more direct than that.
We don't do free!
Validation
Mar 18, 2010 0Validation is where code, (X)HTML and CSS, from a website is checked against the standards published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to ensure the code is correct. DevZen is often asked "why should I bother with validation?"
Advertising
May 10, 2009 0We often get asked "how can I make money from my website?" Assuming that this is ignoring any product or service you are offering, then the only way to bring money in from your website is to advertise. There are several ways of achieving this:
Choosing the right CMS
Mar 17, 2009 0So you want to set-up a new website and have chosen to use a content Management System (CMS). The question is "Which CMS do I use?" Good question and to be honest, one that is not easy to answer. Essentially it depends on what you want from the CMS, both short and long term.
Domain Names and Hosting
Mar 2, 2009 0Regardless of your websites content, you will need to register a domain name and buy a hosting package. DevZen can organise both of these for you, however, you can also easily achieve this yourself. For registering domain names, DevZen reccomends using 123-reg.co.uk. For hosting needs, DevZen recommends EUKHost.
