Sometimes you get lucky and get to work on website projects that are absolutely fascinating

This web development project was one of the “lucky ones” for us. Lucky indeed. We were very fortunate to work with a great client, with great material, who is a joy to work with.

For those that are interested in cakes, fondant, and most importantly fondant classes (here in Taranaki) then we highly recommend touching base with Jo-Anne at Fondant Shed. Delicious!

Some fun facts in the world of web and design

• The first edition of photoshop (Photoshop 1.0) was released February 1990

Modern websites are fantastic for easily adding content, selling online and getting your message out there. 

This ease of use comes at a price and that price is the complexity of the software used to create your website. It’s no longer one piece of software, it’s multiple pieces of software working together to create your web presence. Often the pieces of software come from multiple vendors. Most vendors are very good at ensuring that their software is very robust and well-supported.

If they see a problem, they fix it. These fixes are called updates. Just like your computer or phone that requires updates from time to time, it’s the same with your website.

Question.. who is updating the software on your website?
Is it you? Is it your website people? Is it your hosting company?

The reality is that unless you have an agreement in place with either your web people or your hosting company, then by default it’s you.
