Cool design Dave. It’s been a while since the last time I visit your web site. Love the new design. A lot of white space .

No worries.

My sites are back up. 4 hours down.

@Johny – Fasthosts aren’t the cheapest but I’ve been stung for reliability in the past with other companies so don’t mind paying a bit more for good service. Thanks for letting me know about that broken link, all fixed now

@Ines – Thanks, the design had pretty much been a two year long process so that side of things was done and Christmas was really just spent on getting the content all sorted and added into wordpress so it wasn’t as big a job as you might imagine

The second I saw that logo I fell in love with it. I couldn’t quite place it and then started reading… good call bringing up the happy childhood memories! Congrats on the great new design

All it took was a few days over Christmas? Wow!

Must admit I’ve always steered clear of fasthosts for no reason at all. I just never used them…

BTW – your link on the about page to pilotbean isn’t work – there’s a typo in the url!

Heard Media Temple are really good. I’m with Fasthosts at the moment and apart from the very odd occasion when sites run slow, I’ve not really had any trouble with them at all.

Yeah I’ve been thinking I need to get my portfolio live for a while now. What I should really do is not have a host that suspends all my accounts as soon as one of my sites gets featured on a design gallery and the bandwidth spikes. Media Temple here I come….

@Jermayn – Thanks

@Johny – Think it’s usually the case with successful designers that they’re usually too busy working with client websites to update their own. I’ve been playing with designs for the last couple of years and when I managed to free some time up over Christmas it didn’t take all that long to put it together. The content within the portfolio section took the majority of my time but think it was worth it now that the site is live.

Feel free to drop me a message with the link to your client site when it’s available and I’ll be happy to take a look

Good work dave – saw this on fb but didn’t have a proper chance to have a look till now.

I keep meaning to update my sites. I have HTML mocks everywhere and no time just to put them live.

I do hope to launch a client site on saturday though – will message you on fb as I’d love to get your feedback on it.
