We all know how using a custom typeface online can be a pain sometimes and there are multiple options out there to us although none of the available ones are perfect. My aim here was to gather some of the more popular ones and run through their pros and cons to determine what I believe is currently the best option. Read on for my findings...

Once upon a time, in order to create a new design and develop it, we would have to fire up Photoshop and craft our layout. We would then slice that up and open our editors of choice to get the development done. But thinking about it now, is that even necessary? With advanced browsers and online applications, can we complete the process online?

So far, I've gotten by without the use of a single business card. Just getting by isn't exactly good enough but that may be due to other factors such as marketing rather than not having used a business card. In this day and age, are business cards even needed any more?

I've always been interesting in the idea of meeting up with like minded local people. Living where I do, there doesn't seem to be many people in the industry but they must be out there. I had the idea of creating my very version of Refresh and as usual, jumped right in with the domain and not much planning. Now I need to do something to follow through. Can you help?

I've been toying around with a couple of ideas recently and I have a couple of projects in the works but taking these on alone may not be the best option given the work involved and being freelance, I don't have any colleagues to share with. I'm also looking for new opportunities to collaborate with others within the industry. Let's start with what I'm doing.

A while ago, I made a decision to block users of Internet Explorer 6 and below. For some time after that I was enjoying being part of a group of others that had also made the same decision but that only lasted so long and then reality kicked in. People were still visiting or trying to visit my site in IE6 and I’ve got a family to feed. Having my site be accessible to all potential clients was more important than being impressed with myself for blocking them out. So I changed and guess what?

If you have visited this place in the last couple of weeks, you’ll probably notice things are quite different around here now. I’ve not just uploaded a new design but have done more of a complete overhaul. There was a lot of clutter and irrelevant information lying around the place. Too much waste to sort through so I decided to start a fresh. It wasn’t an easy choice but I’m glad I did. Guess I should explain a bit then.
