Nothing scares me more than video, OK that’s a lie, I am scared of swooping beady eyed magpies way more.

When it comes to getting your first ever website it can be incredibly overwhelming to just make the start. You’ll be asked all sorts of questions that you have no idea how to answer.

I am one of those people pleaser types of people who will generally do things for people just because I like them. I do however get to a point where I do feel taken advantage of, the snapping point if you like, and of course it’s my own doing. I recently had a situation with …
A lot of people think that once a website is built that’s it. They never have to touch it or worry about it ever again. It will just keep working forever, but unfortunately that’s not the case. A website is much like a car. When you buy a new car you don’t just drive it. You …

I admit it. I have a problem. I love to plan, organise and map out EVERYTHING. I am a compulsive list maker. Pretty much every activity with the slightest amount of foresight requires a list. You’ll often see my husband rolling his eyes at me, or finishing my sentence as I utter those words ‘OK, …
Perfectionism: refusal to accept any standard short of perfection. I am a self confessed perfectionist and more often than not it’s often to my own detriment. I sit on ideas and often I take longer to do stuff because I need it to be absolutely perfect. You’ve probably heard the term “Launch before you’re ready”? …
On New Years eve in the midst of our annual hors d’ourve-off* I was sitting watching my feed on Facebook.
