About Me
My names Mark. I'm a web designer & developer based in the Yorkshire area working in Sheffield, Barnsley, Rotherham and Leeds. But that's not the full extent of what I do. I work with many different technologies and people and love things outside the web including photography, print, stationery and graphics. Get in touch and let's speak.

Developing for multiple browsers *sigh*
I know it’s unfortunately the “taboo” of modern website design, but many developers don’t want to simply leave their IE7 visitors and IE6 visitors in the dark. It’s fine for sites like this one, or for web applications but what about corporation websites? For sites that HAVE to support older/alternative browsers. This came to light [...]

University is over! (for a year anyway)
So University is done and dusted for 2009. I won’t be returning until September 2010 which makes for a nice break. In the end I got my grades (A,A,B,B,B,C) which I was very happy with. To top all this off I thought I’d showcase some of the work I did to receive these grades. Visual [...]

It’s a shame I’m a FF3.5 user and IE8 is fourth in my list (behind Safari & Opera) of browsers to use. They are brilliant though. I have gritting rage!. Download Firefox then you plonk. :D Additionally [...]

The things that annoy me about iPhone 3.0
Don’t get me wrong, the new updates for the iPhone are a much needed modification for the device. Cut/Copy & Paste, Tethering and MMS are all things which should (in my opinion) have been on the phone from the very first incarnation. These things were standard on even the most basic of modern phones. Apple [...]

Google Chrome
With the release of Google’s new web browser named “Chrome”, will this mean a shift in browser usage? Probably not. It’s the same situation as Firefox found itself in nearly four years ago, and it’s only just catching Microsofts browser. So, is Chrome any good? We downloaded the BETA yesterday and have been playing ever [...]
Microsoft releases IE8 Beta II, try harder!
This week sees Microsoft leave behind the IE7 which had lasted for two years, and announces the second beta of IE8, but does more effort need to be placed on getting users to actually upgrade, rather than adding another version number to the mix? According to W3.org there are more or less the same amount [...]
