I recently seen a site that offered a $99 website with 2mb of disk space which seems ridiculous that anyone coRead More...

Joe Bourque — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 23:35:05 +0100

The look and feel of your logo and website can put lots of money in your pocket, but the way the dots connect may surprise you.

People pick up clues from the way your logo, brochure and website look. It's human nature. Think aRead More...

Microsoft Launches Bing today

Joe Bourque — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 14:21:35 +0100

Microsoft is trying to close the gap on search engine competitor Google with it's new search engine released today Bing which supposedly makes searching the web faster and easier.
