Completed a couple of old style print projects recently and it made a nice change having complete control over the look and feel of a design rather than the more flexible approach needed when designing for the internet. Alongside the print work, some advertising designs for a local building company – Viking Building Services, Jenkinsons Glaziers and Robinsons Optometrists .

As of Janaury 2014 there are around 861,379,000 registered host names, which is an increase of around 350,000 compared to December 2013. However, the number of active websites recorded in January 2014 actually contracted by around 4 million to just over 180,000,000 - in other words, that's still a lot. In this sea of content, images, videos, and social media, it’s easy, as someone with a struggling website, to feel overwhelmed. That said, there is no greater tool your business or brand can have than a website that both promotes your product or service while adding value to your readers’ experience.

Okay I'll admit it's not the most exciting site I've put together what was interesting about this one was the timescale. From initial design to site going live was just over a week, eight days to be precise. More importantly it met the clients design brief and was comfortably within budget. For the future, we've got a nice print project on the go for a London Design business as well as a local artists portfolio site coming to completion. Add in a business identity for a Maintenance and Refurbishment business and it's easy to see why social life this month has hit a low!

It's been a busy summer and as well as keeping on top of all our day to day work we've got three website's all going live. Each one very different in content and style.

Select Retail Solutions offer a complete fit out of concession style shopping in a wide range of retail outlets.
