First update in a long while

I’ve spent alot of time at a desk lately, on a computer that is connected the internet and haven’t written a blog post. Yes I have been rubbish at keeping my blog running. I have decided to just throw in things I learn and look at everyday. Writing actual blog posts about stuff won’t happen very often I have realised. Mainly because I’m busy as hell with freelance work and also I have a full time job.

I have one freelance project thats about 2/3 the way through and another that I’ve nearly finished mocking up the homepage. The latter I’m very excited about, it looks real nice and I’m hoping it’ll be one that I’m really proud of. I’ve spent alot of time on the colour palette this time, trying lots of blends and always trying to stick to what the client wanted. I’ll show you a peak of the mock up when I’ve finalised it.

I’m also waiting on news of a big project  that may be in the pipline and then after that I’m going to try and have the summer off doing any freelancing and enjoy some free time and also really get my knowledge up on jQuery…the main area I now want to master.

I’ve also been getting shed loads of enquiries lately for e-commerce work (my two current projects are both ecommerce sites). I use the wp-ecommerce plugin from the guys at instinct. I am now showcased on their new site – getshopped.org as a developer and the City Surf site I did is also on there.

I still want to redesign my entire site at some point to be more services oriented and make use of new stuff I’ve learned. I really think you’ll agree that the blog looks like shit…it was an after thought when I re-jigged the main site. It will be done at some point though.
