Pixelwave Website Design Weblog
Latest News from Pixelwave

The recently launched Glanmor Hotel website built in Wales by Pixelwave Web Design has now gone bilingual. The website was part-funded by the Welsh language board so had to be publised in both English and Welsh versions.

I’m all for promoting the Welsh language and would like to see more websites in Wales committed to providing content in both languages. Unfortunately, all too often this isn’t the case simply due to the fact that there isn’t enough return on investment from getting a bilingual website developed. It is great news then that the Welsh Language Board are funding such projects and encouraging small businesses in Wales to build bilingual websites.

If you are a small business or organisation looking for website design in Wales then it may be worth approaching the Welsh Language Board to see if you can get funding to translate and build a biliingual website.

One of my regular clients has come back to me recently with a new web development project to carry out for them.

Obviously the new project is exciting, but for me the fact that it is repeat business makes it even better. First of all it means that the client has been more than pleased with the work I have done for them in the past. I’ve already built a couple of websites for them so the fact that they keep coming back for more is great.

Secondly it means we already have a good working relationship and know what to expect from each other so the time invested developing such a relationship in the past means we are able to get straight down to work on the website project. This obviously saves time and money.

The website (or websites as it may turn out to be) are aimed at an expat community on the island of Sakhalin. The full brief has yet to be finalised but it should be starting with a classifieds feature and a personal/dating section. These will be built using commercially available scripts to keep the price and development time down. I shall keep you up to date here as the project develops.

I’ve just added a new ‘CSS Website Templates‘ category to the website templates on offer through this site.

As always there is a large selection of templates available, all at great prices. Now you have the perfect staring point for a modern, CSS driven website.

Pixelwave Web Design has just started work on the development of a website for Bryn Siriol Dental Practice.

Bryn Siriol Dental Practice based in Mold, north Wales offer a range of dental care services for all the family. Their new website will outline the dental services they offer and provide other information about the practice, including a ‘Meet the Team’ page.

The website will be easy to navigate and conform to modern web standards making it both accessible and search engine friendly whilst having a modern, clean and professional look. It also has to incorporate the following ‘friendly’ logo!

I recently had a final meeting with the owners of Slick Activewear and released their new eCommerce website whilst they were here. They are looking forward to receiving orders, and have been so pleased with my work so far that they have already been passing my name on to others and are soon to be hiring me for a new project of theirs.

Slick Activewear produce T-shirts, clothing and accessories aimed mainly at the adventure sports market. With garments for mountain bikers, surfers, snowboarders, kayakers and many other outdoor sports their should be something in their range for everyone. Their new online shop allows you to browse through and purchase their original designs.

The website also gives complete control of the catalogue and product details to the shop owners, allowing them to keep the catalogue up to date with their latest products via an easy to use online control panel.

Pixelwave Web Design wish them all the best with their new shop and look forward to working on their next project.
