A new website went live today

Posted on by Simon Day in Web Design

No 87 is a traditional B&B in the heart of Wellswood, Torquay.

The client wanted a simple, clean, traditional looking website that matched their colours but was also within their budget. They wanted to able to update the website themselves so WordPress was the content management system of choice.

Feature wise, they wanted an ‘availability’ page which they could ‘easily’ update themselves. Most importantly they wanted people to know that they can get the best prices for the B&B by booking direct. This was something that the client wanted all over the pages and on every page.

The client is very happy with how the website looks and feels, it was exactly what they wanted, down to the last line of code.

The evening was calm, the waters were still. June and July in 2018 have been amazing. Beautiful weather for weeks but little cloud. This evening (28th June 2018) we had a few clouds lurking and I had to wait patiently as they slowly drifted over the harbour and marina.

This was the result of many months waiting for the right moment to take that shot.

Dartmoor keeps coming up with new places that just keep getting better and better. I am amazed, given how much of Dartmoor I’ve covered, I had never been to Bellever Woods on Dartmoor.

I went there to check it out while walking the dog but I couldn’t help setting up and taking this pic, which is now for sale at:

This is a truly stunning place. I went back there that weekend and had a BBQ with family and friends.

How long does it take Instagram and Facebook to delete a reported image?

I’ve recently had an issue, one that I couldn’t resolve with the person involved. I had set up a campaign based on a modification of one of my photos, which was due to launch in a little under two weeks. This person took a photo of mine without permission, did the exact same edit, posted it on their social media channels and then refused to take it down. People who follow me were seeing their version so I had no choice but to report them for copyright infringement and these were the results: Continue reading →
