Developing a CMS solution on Mediatemple with the Seagull PHP Framework, including Google Maps

Friday, April 20th, 2007

Having just completed the Atalink site, I would like to highlight some of my experiences, frustrations and lessons which I have learnt over the past few months.
Background
I developed the site using the Seagull php framework, using the publisher module (which has recently been superseded by the CMS module).
The publisher module requires a bit […]

What a typical day looks like for me

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

I reckon that some people think I spend the day online, at my machine, waiting for stuff to do to come into my Inbox - at least my family does! I’ve always tried to be as responsive as possible with clients, and always will, totally, but as a business grows, so do the amount […]

The naked CEO

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

Whilst I’m not touting myself as anything I’m not, the above title is a heads up to Luke who introduced me to the idea in a meeting today. I’ve just written a Web 2.0 report for him, and it looks like we may become a supplier / partner of sorts, to StepStone.
Anyways, the idea […]

The joy of the client grin…

Friday, April 6th, 2007

Yesterday (Thursday) we did a client demo of a web application we’ve developed using Seagull, where we’d imported and consolidated +- 30k customer contact details and associated records, and made it available to their whole team as a “web page”…
Suffice it to say, the team worked really hard on it, and it was really, really […]

Friday, January 26th, 2007

As we are approaching the final stages of one of out projects, I have been doing some serious acceptance testing to make sure that the site is functioning correctly. To set the testing up, I was given a steer in the right direction and used the Seagull wiki as a guide for the installation….hat tip […]

Tech 4 Africa - Creating momentum

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

And so it begins….
Almost surprisingly, the feedback has been along the lines we were expecting:
people would be willing to go to JHB,
wanna know about stuff around web2.0 primarily,
want to hear international speakers, and
think the conference would benefit the African web community.
On top of that, we’re getting some good coverage on the blogosphere so far:
Update as […]

Building for the web is like building a house

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

Over the past few months, I have been working a a number of quite different projects. But, even though the projects have been different from one another, I have encountered the same problems on each of them.
The problems I have encountered generally relate to project requirements and client expectations. What I have realised is that […]

The Joy of wireframing

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

Yesterday and today I was in two meetings which were wireframe sign-off and iteration meetings, and I have to say that the work put into doing the wireframes has really paid off. Both clients are happy that their needs are being understood and met, and one client even expressed joy at having something that […]

Tech 4 Africa - Technology conference

Friday, November 3rd, 2006

With the onset of an extremely cold snap of weather on the 1st November, I am longing to go back home to soak up some rays from the hot African sun during Christmas time.
Instead we will be hard at work in a cold and gloomy London, which is really not as bad as it seems. […]

The value of semantically correct XHTML, without using tables

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

Ok, so I am going to use my revamping of the dating site as another topic for this post. As I identified in the previous post, we have inherited the code from a previous developer and are making improvements to the site.
The previous site was almost completely table based - yuck!! Dan Cederholm […]
