1 step forwards, 2 steps back…
Or is it 2 steps forwards, 1 step back? I don’t know, but it’s a recurring pattern for sure. Recently one of my long-time customers decided he wanted another website with That Website Guy for another business he’s starting. At the same time an Esports team got in touch very excited to be starting a website too,…

One thing that I’ve learned as a web guy is that nothing ever goes smoothly. There’s always something wrong somewhere whether you know about it or not, and the trick is to keep on top of it and squish the bugs quickly as soon as you do find out about them – it’s like an incredibly complicated…

What would you do if your site (or even one/all of your client’s sites) was infected with malware? Bit of a weird situation, but one of my first clients (a local business owner) who left me a few years back for another local firm came back to see if I could improve the look of…

So I finally decided to actually make something of this site instead of just letting it sit here collecting dust. To be totally honest the only reason I bought the domain was to test something-or-other for That Website Guy. For the past few years this site had some really basic design (more basic than now) made in…
