That’s right, we’ve worked on a Joomla Theme. Although we love Wordpress we realize it’s not everybodies’ first choice of CMS. So we felt it was only fair to make something just as pretty as our Wordpress themes for the Joomla people.
The result, Hallmark, a premium Joomla theme ideal for running news/magazine sites - or your own personal blog. We’ve even included a custom styled comments system, something which is optional but really is pretty and can help add that extra bit of interactivity to your website.

A redesign can be worth its weight in gold if you get it right. There is a thin line between freshening up your design, and taking a step backwards with a redesign. Sometimes a redesign can be subtle and simple, and other times it can be a huge re-vamp of a company and it’s goals. Here’s a look at some of my favourite re-designs in no particular order.
This is an ideal example of how a subtle upgrade can make a huge difference.
A completely different direction and modern feel. A huge improvement!

As a web designer I’m always looking for ways to get inspired when working on new projects. Usually this means searching the various web design galleries for some inspirational web designs. However, recently I’ve found inspiration from some quite unusual sources. Take a look at this variety of inspirational work, and you might find that it can help motivate and inspire you on your next project.
The basic point of this post is to show you that you don’t have to rely on the CSS Galleries to inspire you, there is a lot of creative work out there in various other mediums that will help get you in a creative mood.

We’re finally ready to present our free wordpress theme to you. The theme is called “outdoorsy” and it’s perfect for the individual who wants something “slightly” different from your usual standard free theme. This theme is very unique, and quite graphics heavy, which we are aware of. But if you are after something unique you sometimes have to expect longer load times.
Update: We’ve reduced the file size dramatically! It’s now 1mb lighter

Price is only $49 for a single licence. The theme is something which was set out to be very unique and striking, with a very rough and sketchy feel to it. I’d say its ideal for a individual who’s looking for that little bit more.
