A huge proportion of business is now done online and the volume of internet traffic rises every year. Unfortunately, the runaway success of online transactions and communities has in turn attracted the attention of increasing numbers of lawbreakers, from amateur hackers through to organised criminals. Most criminals go for the easy targets and the good
With news today from Google that it now has more searches from mobile devices than desktop machines in 10 countries including the US and Japan, can you afford to have a website that isn’t mobile friendly? At Carnoustie Creative we recognised the importance of mobile friendly websites early on and every site we’ve built in the last two years (numbering over 50) has been responsive / mobile-friendly.
The weekend of October 5th/6th was WordCamp Europe 2013, the first trans-European gathering of WordPress developers, users & supporters. As a veteran of many IT conferences since the early 90s, I can say that WordCamps are pretty untypical.

It’s always exciting to see something you’ve designed and been working on in the ethereal, electronic world transformed into something real. Going from mockups to an actual website delivers some of this buzz, but for me nothing beats seeing something you’ve designed become physical – like a business card or a badge.
It’s that time of year, when the publicity for the Alba Real Ale Festival starts cranking up and as an established customer of ours, we are helping the organisers get their promotional material ready.
