Marketing via viral videos
Wildlife photographer Yvonne van Mey takes gorgeous wildlife and nature photos and to let more people become acquainted with her work, Nico Bulder (wildlife oil painter and Youtube fan) made a beautiful little video of her photos depicting the four seasons in the Veluwe (Dutch wildlife nature reserve).
Youtubers will be more than happy to share this video with their friends and family, and as a result Yvonne will become even more well known for her work. A great example of marketing through a viral video (watch the video below). Continue reading

Putting the cost of web design into perspective
In our opinion, the cost of our web design starter kit is very fair. We’ve kept the hours needed to design and build a website to a minimum, which suits most people’s needs.
There is room for a few changes, but if you want to try more options, like a different colour here or another font there, or perhaps change the layout again, then these changes will be charged for separately on an hourly basis. A fair method for everyone!
We’d also like you to consider the functionality that you’re getting with your website – a content management system (CMS) with full interactivity for your visitors. Continue reading

How to copy & paste text without design conflicts
If you’re writing the content for your page in a word processing package like Open Office (open source software that’s free to use) or MS Word, then it’s likely that your text will inherit the design codes that come standard in that package. Or perhaps you’ve even changed the way your text looks to jazz it up a bit?
When you copy any text and paste it into your WordPress page or post, it’s most likely that the underlying style codes will be copied too. These codes will override the style sheet that is set out in your web design and show each article with different fonts, colours and sizes. This could also happen when you copy and paste text from e-mails (or other sources).
So what if it’s completely different? Will the sky fall on my head? Continue reading
How to add a Photo Gallery
Photo galleries are wonderful things for your website and can be used for many different purposes. For instance, if you’re busy with a project, you can show photographs of the before, during and after stages. Or you can show off your creativity (e.g. art, designs, photos, etc.) that has been categorised into appropriate galleries. But you can also use photo galleries to show off your products, with different angles and close-up shots. The choice is yours! Below is a step-by-step instruction on how to create and add your own photo galleries. Continue reading
How to style your text
Part of our job as web designers is to tell internet browsers, like Internet Explorer or Firefox, which font, colour and text size your website should have. A couple of years ago, this used to be done by paragraph or by header. Sometimes styling was even applied on a word-for-word basis!
This took a long time to implement and if the client changed his/her mind, it was a nightmare. For example, if a font colour was to be changed from a deep red to a slightly brighter red, it would take forever. With larger websites, this could take days, if not weeks. Style sheets are the solution! Continue reading
