Responsive Day Out in Brighton

Posted in Conference Web design on 3 March 2013 | Comments [2]

Last week, I attended Responsive Day Out. It was a full day, great value conference that was organised by Clearleft – and Jeremy Keith in particular. All the speakers gave presentations about Responsive Web Design (RWD). So, here are a few of my thoughts about the day.

Starting a News and Articles section

Posted in Web development Portfolio on 7 February 2013 | Comments

I’ve been gradually refining the CVW Web Design site over the last few months and one of the decisions I’ve made was to start a News section. There were several reasons for doing this.

  • I wanted to write articles about business, the sites/projects I’ve been working on, and about client websites, and these articles did not seem to fit comfortably in this blog.
  • The CVW Web Design site needs to have a regular stream of new content so that search engines and site visitors can see that it is updated regularly.
  • I wanted to use Perch on the site so a News section was one way of kick-starting that.

I pondered whether to call the new section “Blog” or “News” but in the end I’ve gone with the latter to avoid confusion with this blog. Admittedly, “News” is not entirely accurate so I’m not completely happy but it’s OK for the moment.

So far, it’s been going quite well and I’ve been able to write a couple of articles a month. For example:

  • Why web design conferences are important for smaller companies
  • What company information do we need on our website?
  • How to get help with your website from Google

I’m having to think more about articles to write so that’s definitely a challenge but I’m hoping to research these a bit better now that I have a place to publish them – so I hope the whole thing will be a virtuous circle. We’ll see!

Creating a Perch dashboard widget for Google Analytics

Posted in Perch Web development on 14 January 2013 | Comments

Before Christmas, I added a news section to the CVW Web Design site because I wanted to write some articles there. As a result, I was also keen to get a quick snapshot of Google Analytics (GA) data every time an article was published. Perhaps I would get more visitors and page views for some articles and not others? With this information, I can tailor what I write. Of course, all this date is available via the GA system but I wanted a simple way of viewing a small subset of GA data in my website content management system (CMS).

Reviewing 2012 and learning new stuff

Posted in 12412 Personal on 9 December 2012 | Comments

About a year ago, I wrote about Learning New Things for 2012 and joining the 12412 project – which was intended to be a starting point for me to learn new things during the year that’s now coming to an end. So, how has that worked out? Well, not that great actually although I have started some new ‘learning subjects’ and increased my usage of some things that weren’t completely new (cheat!). Here’s my summary of the year in that respect.
