Domain name scam!!!!!

We’ve just received an email from Asia Gov, making claims about one of our domain names and a company claiming intellectual property rights over keyword related domain names.

Please do not respond to this sort of email, it is an obvious scam!!!!!!

Website now live!

After many months of interrupted website design and copywriting, the Versatile Designer website is now live. There’s still a little bit of proof reading, testing and optimisation still yet to do.

London 2012 tickets

Sign-up for the chance to get London 2012 tickets. I suppose there’s a vague chance of getting to see a decent Olympic event.

I imagine you’ll have greater chance of ticket success through any corporate connections ; )

Crap work if you can get it!

We’ve all done a few shitty jobs in our lifetime, but this one really does stink. Balance Creative have been commissioned by a client to design packaging for ‘doggy bags’, and they are not the sort of bags you put leftover food in.  Without going into too much detail, they’re used by dog owners to pick up their pets little presents.

Actually we are really forward to putting the designs together, as it’s very different to our usual work. Hopefully we won’t make a ‘mess’ of the creative.

Website design, we’re a bit too pricey???

You’ll be pleased to know that Balance Creative have been labeled ‘too expensive’.

This was a bizarre comment we’ve recently received after a website design enquiry. Bizarre, because I responded to the initial request by asking a few probing questions (without quoting). The emailed response was short, and basically said “the price is a bit high”.

What price?

Do they employ a psychic?

The demise of IE6

I’m very happy to hear news that Google is no longer supporting Internet Explorer 6 – thank god!

Hopefully this encourages everybody to ditch it and upgrade to the latest browser available or even Firefox. IE6 is widely criticised for its lack of support for modern web standards, lack of security and inability to display websites has correctly. A great day for web developers
