Ugg Boots from Australia
We’ve just launched this ugg boots web site in Western Australia. They also have the most amazing sheepskin jackets. We didn’t do the design, we moved the site to a simple content management system so the client could very easily edit the site and the products.
The Simplest Way To Make Money With Domain Names
As a web developer we make money in 2 ways with domain names. We buy domain names on behalf of clients and add a service fee on top. Here in Australia we buy our .com.au domain names for $30 as a reseller for a registrar. We charge clients $100 for the domain name. Once you […]
Why You Don’t Need The Perfect Domain Name
An online mate gave me a heads up on a domain name he thought I might be interested. It’s a solid domain name that would be worth a few bucks and I’ll try and get it if the price is right. Another online mate gave me a heads up years ago that enabled me to […]

You Can Do It…..Whatever It Is
When Jack and I told family and friends we were going to ride across Australia, quite a number were very skeptical. A few even told us outright “You can’t do it.” One even bet another mate $100 we couldn’t do it in 30 days (yes Tim, I’m talking about you!). We stopped visiting a family […]
How Google Can Stop Link Buying In An Instant
