One thing I find really difficult when I’m talking to potential clients is how important the look of the site is. It’s all well and good having all the right ‘things’ on the site, but if the design doesn’t give the right message then people just won’t stay.

What is it about the run up to Christmas that seems to bring the hackers out? In the month leading up to Christmas I saw a significant increase in the number of hack attempts against websites I run as well as my clients sites. It’s never good to get hacked, but even less so during the busy period of December.

It’s now 2012, and time to think about the year ahead. Last year for me was challenging but very positive. I’m sure this year is going to build on the foundations set last year and really make 2012 a year to remember! I wanted to start the year off properly, As mentioned to some of …
