OK, so maybe ‘famous’ is an exaggeration, but this is the story of how my story spread across the world, how my definition of the ‘semantic web’ (or Web 3.0) has become part of the online vernacular. And I didn’t even really know it was happening. In July 2007, I wrote a blog post for [...] Read More
Next Tuesday I will be speaking about how you can create professional-looking websites quickly, at low cost and with high quality. Sounds impossible? Not anymore. The latest breed of web-based applications and tools have totally revolutionised the web industry, and next week I will be sharing my experience of working with these tools. I will [...] Read More
Woohoo – how exciting. Those nice people over at Imagine Publishing have put together a nifty guide called the Blogger’s Handbook, which covers all the major blogging platforms, advice on setting up and designing blogs, and info about how to make blogging work for you. And yours truly is featured on page 114 in their [...] Read More
I was thrilled and honoured to find that one of my client websites is featured in Web Designer magazine this month. The Festinho website is listed as number 4 in their top 24 fave Squarespace websites, which is rather nice. The Festinho site has been a collaboration between myself and Raz at Auralmassage, so we [...] Read More
I seem to be doing a lot of Squarespace sites these days; in fact, yesterday we launched another one: www.cytoxgroup.com I’m quite excited to be working with this client, as they are doing some really mindblowing work on Alzheimer’s disease.

Caroline, Vivid’s managing director, wanted an online showcase for their work in designing sets, interiors and events, so [...] Read More
When the lovely people at Festinho got in touch, they needed to get a website live within a few days. Their existing site had been mostly designed and built already, but because it was created as a static HTML site, they couldn’t edit the content themselves. And before the site could go live, they needed [...] Read More
Last week I popped along to see a screening of Ivo Gormley’s documentary Us Now, presented by my old colleagues at NESTA. Not only was I curious to see the film, but I was also curious to see what was happening in the whole ‘social networking’ strand of NESTA’s Connect programme, as some potentially cool [...] Read More
At this year’s ad:tech there were a few decent seminars, but one speaker’s comments in particular has stuck in my mind long after the event. Umair Haque was part of the Chinwag panel discussion called ‘Micro Media Maze’ and he drew parallels between the current financial crisis and the state of the online landscape. Now [...] Read More
A few days ago I posted my own definition of the semantic web on the NESTA blog. I tried to explain what the next generation of the web will be like, in terms that even my mother could understand. I guess I did a pretty good job of it, because as of today it has [...] Read More
