It always a treat to find some spare time to check out the latest product releases. This week I have been checking out the preview release of Adobe Edge, a new animation tool that outputs animations using HTML5/CSS3  and JQuery.

We have completed the launch of a new website for Jext, an emergency treatment for severe anaphylactic reaction (also known as anaphylactic shock).

We have just completed a web design refresh for alpshack.com, a great place for skiers and snowboarders to stay in Paradiski, at the heart of the French Alps.

Today, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann) has announced their decision to allow generic top level domain names (gTLDs) to end with almost any word in any language. This ruling also extends to brand names, which could be potentially great news for those brands that can afford the hefty price tags that come with them.

The government has announced that although the new cookie law still comes into effect today, enforcement has been postponed for a year to give companies breathing space to comply.

The law which applies to how you use cookies and similar technologies for storing information on a user’s equipment such as their computer or mobile device is changing on 26 May 2011.

If you run a website then you are probably wondering if this affects you and how you can comply with this change in the law.

Traditional print layout has always been out of reach of the web designer. Want to wrap text around an irregular shaped image? No can do. Want to flow text across multiple columns? No chance.

Adobe have taken the first steps towards making this a reality with their CSS Regions technology. And though you shouldn’t expect to see this technology in mainstream browsers anytime soon, it’s certainly one to keep an eye on.

whiteinteractive has designed and built a new website for Path Intelligence, a fast-growing Portsmouth based company whose market-leading technology analyses the movement of people using mobile phone technology.

With the internet becoming the primary marketing tool for many businesses, having a memorable domain name is important, but it’s getting harder as nearly a thousand domains are being registered every hour – your dream domain name could be taken soon (if it’s not already)!

We’ve recently finished an exciting video project using green screens – working with Focus Business Communications we developed the video for our client Johnson & Johnson.

The latest versions of the Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers have recently been released, so here is a brief review of what you can expect from them.

That’s websites I mean… the one’s we’ve been working on over the past 3-months. A recent addition to our portfolio is http://www.the-oriel.co.uk/. Developed on behalf of Harvard Managed Offices, this is the first of two sites to go live for our client who specialises in providing world-class business centres.

Twitter this week has a new feature that when enabled means you always access it securely (previously you would have to remember to type “https://”).

Facebook has a similar option and you should consider using these particularly if you regularly use these sites on public WiFi connections such as in a Starbucks – Ashton Kutcher was hacked last week during when he was at TED using their unsecured WiFi.

Before the web was invented, when personal computers were in their infancy, I pestered my parents for a BBC ‘B’ computer. Now this was no small investment for a family like ours, after all, what use were they other than playing really basic games? So it was no small wonder that they said yes. This computer was the seed from which my later profession grew (though of course I didn’t know it back then).

There are many Social Media success stories – Will It Blend? and Old Spice are two that come to mind. These have shown that getting your product/brand into social media can have huge returns and catapult your business to internet stardom. Another less known story is the hang drum – otherwise known as the internets first ‘viral’ instrument, but this is one that I only recently discovered myself through social media.

The hang drum is a unique instrument which only I learned the existence of by chance – someone mentioned on Facebook they had seen one on eBay for the timely sum of £6,000! Being a drummer myself, I was interested to see what this instrument was and why it was so expensive on the ubiquitous auction site.

In this digital age, having a professional, online presence is no longer a nice to have but now a complete necessity for businesses wishing to remain competitive in today’s fierce market place.

Our client Brittain Marketing, commissioned us to create a new site for them that would become a valuable part of their new business toolkit. They needed a website that would differentiate them from the traditional image of ‘Telemarketing’ or ‘Telesales’ companies, and demonstrate their commercial understanding and research and profiling capabilities.

You are probably already familiar with app stores on iPhones and Android phones but have you considered how something similar for your desktop computer, or laptop, might look?

A QR code (which stands for “quick response”) is a special type of barcode, readable by mobile phones. To us it looks like a few squares and blocks but to a QR reader this can contain any number of pieces of information.

It’s always great to see a positive result from any campaign but none more so that a recent email campaign for a new client – Anglo Office Group, the UK’s fastest growing independent office and products and business services company.
