Scorching July

July has proved to be my busiest month yet, and I thought this was my quiet period. So I spent the first two weeks in Menorca. Sun, sand and running after Bailey. What I didn't expect was the amount of work waiting for me on my return.

The leaflet designed for the client I won through the tendering, turned into an email, and this has since turned into a web page for 'The Carshop'.

Sportlived have also had a facelift to their site, and they have added a few more sports, the site is really growing now, so much so they are advertising for staff.

Here's the new look, the left panel is a flash element based on the press ads and posters. The flash loads in the images and displays them as a slideshow:

While looking for a company called Dubit last month I accidently wandered into the offices of an advertising agency, they were very polite and ushered me out of the door, but not before they accepted a business card. A week later they invited me back to talk about the possibility of doing some work. Last week I produced several banner designs. So the moral is don't be shy and hand your card out to everyone you meet.

Ive also given the main Brookfresh site a bit of a facelift, well more of a botox injection to the eyebrows. Ive added a smart client area log-in, allowing my clients to download and upload documents and images. It's based on the php I wrote last month.

The Perfect Smile clinic have also had a facelift, or should that be a polish and scrape? Ive added a few new sections to the site and generally beefed it up.

In other news I'm freelancing at Pilot (yeah the same Pilot that made me redundant) in-house which makes a nice change as I usually dont freelance, especially not in-house. But they are a cool bunch of guys and it's nice stuff to work on. more later..

Just so I dont think things are going too well for me Slate Direct have done a runner. I thought I would pop in while I was passing their showroom, only to find the place shuttered up and a 'to-let' notice posted outside. They still owe me a small sum of money, but there's bugger all I can do about that as I have no-idea where it is they have scuttled off to. Ill keep the site up for a while until I decide what to do about it.

Anyway, Im fully booked for the whole of August so I cant spend all day typing this, bye for now.
