Where You Can Read Our Old Stuff

And Here’s A Great Example Of What I Just Said
Funny how these things happen just after I write about them. I’m a member of the ‘The Lord’s Taverners’ – a cricketing charity group who raise funds for disadvantaged and underprivileged youth. One of the ways the charity raises money is via raffles. In the mail today I received a letter with a raffle ticket […]
Our Web Sites Cost At Least $5,000, Our Competitors Cost $900
At the moment we’re doing 8 web sites sites. Only one is below $5,000 (it’s $4,400). I was looking at competitor sites last night and man, are they cheap! A lot of them do a 10 page web design for $900. And the sites can look okay. I look at that pricing and just shake […]
Employ An Expert – Then Get The Hell Out Of The Way
If you read this web site regularly, or listen to our podcast, you might remember me mentioning a site we redid where the client didn’t like what we’d done.

Why Social Networks Are So Popular
Because of the recent running I’ve done I’ve been visiting a few running type forums. One thing I always enjoy seeing is the fantastic sense of community these places build up. I have been reading a few posts and people have been talking about injuries – whether it’s aching legs, foot fungus, runner’s bowel or […]

The Anti-World Cup Promotion
Here in Australia the entire country (including me) has jumped on the Socceroos bandwagon as we’ve progressed in the World Cup. Just about every business is using soccer analogies to promote their stuff. But How About you Do This How about your business becomes the anti-soccer/football voice. “Had enough of the World Cup?
