Do you really need to pay for a website?

There are still a great many small businesses, volunteer organisations and charities out there that don’t have a web presence because they think it all sounds quite scary and more to the point, costly.

Mandigo WordPress theme rocks

Well, the default theme was very short lived because Matt very kindly pointed me in the direction of a theme called Mandigo. He said he loved it and I thought now for Matt to get excited about something it had to be good, and I was right. It was love at first sight for me to0!

I have defaulted

I can’t take it any more, everytime I look at my own blog my eyes bleed. I have reverted to the default wordpress theme until I have more time to spend finding one I like. Would love suggestions.

I’m currently working on a clients website that uses CactuShop.  While it claims to be ‘SEO Optimised’, it isn’t the most search engine friendly pieces of OSC shopping cart software I’ve worked with. Although it’s not the worst either.
