I was looking at the upcoming acts for the amazing Spiegeltent at the N&N Festival this year and hadn’t heard of any of them, so I started looking them up on YouTube. I thought I’d share my findings in case others find it useful!

Last Wednesday, Beth Moseley (@MoseleyPhoto), Ninnie Lear (The Wingman Norwich), and I decided to do an evening Microadventure to the North-Norfolk coast. Microadventures, a brilliant concept invented by Alastair Humphreys, involves taking short trips to explore spots in your locale that you otherwise might ignore, or just doing something a bit different for an evening/night. I say invented, but really he just gave a name to something most teenagers do all the time, but that becomes more unusual as age and responsibilities kick in. We left Norwich at 5.30pm and headed to Waxham, a beach on the Norfolk coast. Arriving at […]
All of these sites were built in roughly 24 hours or less, all totally responsive with Google Analytics on every button. I’ll blog about the best ones in more detail at a later date.
On Wednesday I built a site for Kara Cantrell, a startup dating consultant, who needed a site to showcase her professional services. The brief was to make a site that appeals to men (her target clients) but that also reflects her personality. It needed to be friendly and welcoming. Having browsed some other dating consultant websites, I came to the conclusion that this is one industry where people do not care how bad their websites look. Yep, I said it. Some terrible examples out there. This made me more determined to make Kara stand out from the pack. Kara provided […]
Recently we launched a new service called Launchpad24. The idea was borne from conversations with clients, and particularly startups, to have a cost-effective and fast way to get high-quality but simple landing pages up, to enable them to test new product offerings rapidly. Launchpad24 is our way of addressing this need. Instead of lengthy back-and-forths with web designers and developers, an ever increasing spiral of costs, we promise to build a quality custom one-page website in under 24 hours, for a flat fee. Sure, there are limitations to building it in 24 hours – customisations are limited to some extent […]
We just implemented a tiny amount of Javascript that should dynamically change the colour of the “main image” part of the Hire Me section. It even works on phones! Let us know what you think!
I wanted to create a design that represents Norwich, the greatest city in the UK. My idea was to recreate the colourful rooftops of the Norwich market. I made the design in Adobe Illustrator… (this is actually version two of the design, with less colours to stop t-shirt printers from freaking out when I show them the design. They still freak out anyway.) Obviously no campaign would be complete without a meme. Once I had the design ready, I successfully funded the t-shirts using a cool crowd-funding site called Fabrily. “Finally, a t-shirt inspired by daily life on the pedestrianised […]
The brief: Create a design for a multi-functional user dashboard for a travel application, including mapping functionality. I created a design using Photoshop, and then transferred it into a HTML mockup. Along the way the design was refined slightly.
The brief: Create a simple landing page for gathering pre-launch sign-ups that will appeal to travellers. The solution: I created a beautiful minimalistic page featuring one full-screen image and a simple sign-up form. This was the perfect opportunity to use one of my favourite photos from a trip to Paris. The page is responsive, so that it looks just as good on a mobile as it does on a desktop.
