Confessions of a web designer

Well, must admit that one is not a first for me...

Confessions of a web designer - my site is well overdue for an overhaul.

Not much of a confession I admit - how dull I hear you all say. Anyway, I'm too busy helping other people so I guess I can't grumble!!

Enough of the horns...

...the statistics are in our favour now. I've just been told England will beat Slovenia - because it's on the BBC.

Since 1982 (when World Cup finals games were split between Britain
Any thoughts?

Yes...
No great surprises then?



You've answered the question as I see it.
Forum seems unusally quiet this week, I think there is a lot of skiving in the back garden, drinking Pimms contemplating armageddon... I mean the budget...

...been a very busy bee.

As for the budget - just heard that VAT has gone up.. ..no surprise. What else is going to come out.....
Excellent I look forward to hearing how it goes

I've done them for other people before so it will be interesting to see if they can beat your conversion rates.
Err.. the difference being that on one of them I've got a plumber half a mile away and on the other the nearest one is 61 miles away. I'll let you figure out which one is which.

Clearly there's still work to be done to compete!
Any free business directory? 16th June 2010 5:28 PM
Jimmy, you don't seem to be using Google coupons? It only takes a few minutes to add so would suggest you use that too.

...Still can't see what market tablets or devices between smartphones and lappies are aimed at, so still reserving judgement

..Like Steve in another thread above, I didn't see where the market was for this. However, I now see it and I think Steve Jobs provides a good analogy.

....CEO Steve Jobs was quoted at the D8 conference last week regarding the future of PCs--referring to all computers with full desktop operating systems, as opposed to tablets or smartphones--saying he clearly sees them fading from mainstream use soon.

"When we were an agrarian nation, all cars were trucks because that's what you needed on the farms." Cars became more popular as cities rose, and things like power steering and automatic transmission became popular.

"PCs are going to be like trucks," Jobs said. "They are still going to be around." However, he said, only "one out of x people will need them."

When you think about what most people use PC's/Laptops for he's right. The iPad et al are perfect for the average person (emailing, photos, video etc.) So when they start to come down in price they will become more mainstream than buying a PC or laptop.
