More developments in the pipeline

Well the next few months look like they might be busy ones. We’re working on two new sites – one for a photographer and one for an artist – so expect some updates soon!

Also we’re hoping that 2012 is the year we finally migrate off the Domino platform for the fantasy websites… time permitting though.

Stay tuned!

Sara Preisler’s own site revamped

admin — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:07:27 +0000

Following on from the development of sarapreislergallery.co.uk we’ve now launched sarapreisler.co.uk – which is Sara’s website for promoting her own work and not the gallery. We love the clean look and simple design and have also made sure this is mobile-compatible!

It might be quiet but….

Things are still being worked on. Current projects include a revamp of the entire www.fantasy1203.co.uk website and moving this off Domino to the LAMP-stack world and a new websire for Sara Preisler. Expect some proper news in a month’s time.

Sara Preisler Gallery launched

admin — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 23:40:04 +0000

We are proud to announce the launch of the www.sarapreislergallery.co.uk site. Built for a very good friend and fantastic jeweller this site is a shopping site to support their Birmingham-based gallery.

Service upgrade

admin — Fri, 21 May 2010 12:02:00 +0000

We have recently upgraded our LAMP hosting, increasing bandwidth 5-fold and disk capacity 10-fold. We have also taken this opportunity to increase the base allocations to each of our hosted sites. For free.

Welcome everlastingseasons.co.uk

admin — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 08:11:05 +0000

We’d like to welcome everelastingseasons.co.uk to host1203. These girls apply their fantastic gardening skills to making the most wonderful outdoor containers. Their site is still in its infancy, and expect changes soon, but if you want to brighten up your outdoor spaces these are the ones to talk to.

Site update

admin — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 21:39:52 +0000

We’ve updated more of the content on the site. We’ve provided an overview of what host1203 is, a bio for bc1203 and a technology stack overview. We’ve also added the more mundane but necessary legal stuff like terms and conditions and privacy policy.

Great Tey Pre-School

admin — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 20:08:22 +0000

Great Tey Pre-School, our first customer, have just relaunched their website. Ok so not a big redesign change from what we developed before, but we have moved off the old Domino platform which is a significant change for us. Domino is fantastic, but just too expensive to run for much longer. Sigh.

Anyway, their site is live, www.greatteypreschool.co.uk, and they seeem happy which is always a bonus.

New skin

admin — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 20:03:56 +0000

Finally I got round to applying a proper look and feel to the site. I have used Magazine Basic, a theme I found some while back and loved the simplicity and cleaness of it all. There’ll be some updates over the next few weeks as we apply a few tweaks to improve matters.

sarapreislergallery.co.uk now live(-ish)

admin — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 19:50:39 +0000

After what seemed like weeks of work, sarapreislergallery.co.uk is now live. Well, sort of, as there’s still content to add and bits to turn on, but it is there nonetheless.

Sara Preisler is a good friend and a fantastic jeweller, based in Birmingham. We’ve talked for many years about sorting out an online presence for her gallery and finally we’ve done it.

This was our first foray into Joomla!, which is quite a beast. We went this way as it has VirtueMart as a bolt-on which is a monster in itself yet provided the best set of functionality we needed. Both are certainly customisable, but not something the casual user will pick up. Having said that, it was pretty straight-forward enough.
