Benefits of a managed VPS

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

Just got SVN / Trac setup on my VPS primarily to support development for portfolioexecutive.com.

I’ve succeeded in doing this myself before, but I remember the process to be a bit of a nightmare. Yesterday I dropped a line to the support guys at futurehosting.biz and they set it all up for me within 24 hours.

It’s always worth paying a little extra; managed hosting is only more expensive if you don’t value your time. Giving the task to an expert has saved me a night of hell and I’m virtually guarateed it’ll do what it says on the tin!

Website now complete

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

I think it’s fair to say that with the migration of my blog into the new design my website is pretty much complete for now. It’s been a bit of a slog but I’m generally quite happy with the results.

I’ll be tweaking bits here and there over the next few weeks. In the meantime if anyone has any feedback I’ll be glad to hear it!

Yardsnap BETA now online

…and has been for the past three weeks. We’re still ironing out bugs at the moment and there’s so much more we’re going to roll out over the next few months, but as it stands it’s a damn good free property listings site.

Signups from landlords and students have been promising. At one point we had 35 properties listed for Canterbury but that’s trailing off as houses are getting let. Student / Tenant signups are strong and hopefully this trend will continue - we’ve only been online for three weeks. ;)

I’m working on this quite hard at the moment and lots of exciting new management features for landlords are on the way. Watch this space ’cause it’s changing rapidly!

Wayhey! Finally got a new website released for the Loch Ness Whisky Company Ltd. Check it out here.

I’m fairly pleased with how it turned out. Didn’t have too much to go on but I think I’ve produced a clean, functional site.
