Spring clean your websites.

Ive decided to tidy up the gaming site a bit. One of the guys that does a bit of work on the site for me installed cuteNews a while back. After fiddling about with it ive found it to be pretty good to use, although it still uses tables to display the news. I might have alook at converting it to CSS when I have a bit of spare time.

Ive given the site a spring clean and shaken a few cobwebs loose, ive redesigned the front page and the header as now that theres a hack for the US PS2 available on the site I hope the audience is going to grow.

As the PS2 only plays flash version 4, any animations have to be done without the aid of actionscript, so ive kept the flash to a minimum, animated the logo in the banner slightly and made a button.

They say a healthy company changes their website at least every 9 months, It certainly pays to change something. There's already renewed interest from the tiny changes ive made to brookfresh.co.uk. I think ill have a look at brookfresh.com now.

A good start to 2006

Its been a busy January and February so far this year. Ive given my gaming site www.brookfresh.co.uk a bit of a facelift and started to use cutenews on the site. Its easy to install and pretty straight-forward to use.

Two brookfresh clients have gone live with their sites this month:

www.pharmacydirect.org.uk have gone live with their e-commerce shop built and designed by yours-truly. The client has taken the bold step of closing his real-life shop and going completely on-line. I'm sure it will be a big success.





www.perfectsmileclinic.co.uk have also gone live with a small brochure site, the site is special in that the flash determins the size of the containing html ( see last post ). I have perfected the system now and it works in all the usual browsers. This is our first site built using flash 8. Aaaand the verdict is that its great. I have used the drop-shadow filter and the size of the swf was a lot smaller than if I had used a shadow-image.

I still need to update the main Brookfresh.com site and use flash8 to reduce the size of the site. Ive also developed a new version of the shifting panels using a more efficient script. But seeing as February looks like its going to be another mad month it will have to wait.
