Wedpings! February 18th, 2012
www.wedpings.com/siandkasia
Sorry for the gap, and no Christmas post – a terrible state of affairs. Never mind though, here’s something to cheer you up – it’s our wedding page. The first entry on wedpings.com. A little side project for me which I intend to turn into a sort of social network for wedding planning. There’s not much there at the moment, as you’ll see if you visit the home page, but the intention is to start adding features soon. User accounts, wedding list organisation and RSVPs, photo galleries, venue information and maps – that sort of thing. To be honest I haven’t really spec’d it out yet but hopefully i’ll get round to it eventually. Drop me an email if you’d be interested in using such a service 
.
For now our page is just a bit of HTML and jQuery with a simple RSVP form – it just sends us an email with a yes or no. Nothing fancy but I was quite pleased with the design. Hopefully in a few months there’ll be a new Wedpings post announcing a proper site. We’ll see.
To the happy couple!
Website Roundup February 18th, 2011
www.asteral.com | www.london-bathrooms.co.uk
Not much to report this month i’m afraid, it’s far too early in the year for anything exciting. Plus our central heatings been on the blink since before Christmas and I find it hard to motivate myself when i’m freezing cold. Work wise i’m not doing anything postable sadly due to the nature of the new job – although I’m currently working on my first mobile web app so hopefully i’ll be able to put up a link to that at some point.
Anyway – with that in mind i’m posting a couple of sites i’ve worked on that have gone live recently. The first one is the Asteral web site which i completed just before I left The Crocodile and which, for some reason, has only recently gone live.
The Asteral site is built in Expression Engine and incorporates 3 levels of navigation, which was quite tricky to acheive. It also utilises the indispensible Freeform plugin to incorporate a contact form and newsletter sign-up.
The second site is a smaller site I designed and built for a London based Bathroom company (called, fittingly, London bathrooms). I also created the London Bathrooms logo, which featured in a recent post.
This is a fairly standard small site with information about the company, some work samples and testimonials and a contact form. Which you should definately use if you need a Bathroom fitted in London (or the surrounding area).
Since spring is already in the air I’m hoping the next post will be a total break from the norm and be about the landscaping of my garden which I started last year and which ground to a halt over winter. Not just a one trick pony!
Anyway, it’s been a pleasure as always.
New Year, New theme January 7th, 2011
Happy New Year loyal readers (cough). Here’s a short post to introduce Scriptic’s new (and my first) custom theme. I hope you like it. I haven’t tested it in IE6 yet – if Google are allowed to stop supporting it then so am I – but if you’re visiting in that particular browser then, for a start, you’ll be seeing some nasty PNG issues. Upgrade for god’s sake. What’s the matter with you? Other browsers, however, are tried and tested – so you shouldn’t see any issues.
There are, i’ve already noticed, some aesthetic issues with a few of my previous posts now i’ve upgraded so i’ll be going through them and sorting them out slowly over the next few weeks as well as checking that everything else looks and works as it should. If you notice anything while browsing please let me know.
The end bye for now!
p.s. This theme is pretty bespoke but if you want the files then just let me know.
London Bathrooms logo December 7th, 2010
Here’s something a little bit different – a logo I designed for my brothers bathroom fitting service. Some time ago (presumably before the birth of Scriptic as it’s not on here) I created a website for the company but it was branded with the Landricombe and Son logo. Recently he decided he wanted a seperate logo for London bathrooms to differentiate the companies a bit more – so here it is. I’m quite pleased with it – I made those bubbles myself
Magnificent isn’t it? It’s certainly a huge improvement on the intermediary one which you might be priviledged enough to see, if you visit the site, before it’s binned forever when this new one goes live.
