We have just put live a number of deals for Beadazzle.co.uk customers this christmas. When customers checkout they will be given different free Pandora gifts depending on how much they spend.

Beadazzle.co.uk suggested a competition where their customers could build a box set of 3 Pandora charms and give a title for their creation. from this they would then choose 3 from all the entries and these would then go head to head in faceoff for social likes via facebook. Continue reading
I have been asked this a lot recently. “How do we make the facebook page look nicer?”.
Facebook is very limited for styling as they want to make sure your styling does not take away from facebooks images to much. So when a client showed me the facebook page for beauty flash which showed a different tab to the wall tab when you first entered, I was interested on how they done this.
I have put together a quick video explaining how this can be done.

As a developer/Tester I need to explain how I have fixed something or why something has broken. Usually this involves writing complicated emails with step by step instructions on how to replicate the issue.
I came across screen toaster which make it much easier to create video tutorials of what is happening on your screen. Usually you would have to install a windows application and then get this to capture video, convert it to a web format and upload it to your webserver or youtube. Screen Toaster does all of this as a web app. So just create a free account and put your headset on and you can create and upload a video in a couple of minutes. Then send a link to your contact asking them to follow your instruction on the video.
Here is one I made earlier, where I explain to a client the new functionality I have added to their shopping cart.
We have a new sign at zone1 HQs so clients will no longer need to walk into the printers below when looking for us.
If you’ve ever sent an email campaign, you know that if your CSS is not coded inline, it is likely to get stripped out by email clients, which can make your email design pretty funky looking. Writing CSS inline can be time consuming, and repetitive. MailChimp has a CSS inline conversion tool built right in that will automatically transform all of your local styles into inline styles. Designers have found it so useful, we thought we’d share it with everyone else – even if you don’t have a MailChimp account.
