Web Design Services | Source Host Web Site Updated
While I was busy resolving the issue with the VPS customisation UI I also took the time to update the web site to reflect all of the recent changes to the system and the services and products on offer here at Source Host web site and also make a few tweaks and changes to the web site to tidy it up the look of the site at the same time.

Apart from giving the look of the main part of the web site a lift the greatest changes have been to the Customer Control Panel interface in order to provide access to management and administration tools for all of the new products and services like the dedicated servers and VPS servers and it looks absolutely great.

I am really pleased with the changes to the customer control panel it has really made a big difference to the look which is much cleaner and a lot nicer as well as making it easier to locate and navigate around the different sections to manage any products, addons or services and renewals etc, within the customer control panel, providing a much more attractive environment and user friendly interface when you need to manage any aspects of your Source Host customer account.

The Help & Support section within the customer control panel was also in a broken state and I am glad to announce that I have now resolved the issues and everything is now working as expected, when a page containing questions and answers loads in your browser the pages are no longer broken and all of the answers are closed and when you click on a question to reveal the answer it appears within a lightbox and the page is greyed out so you can focus on the answer without distraction and it looks great!

Web Hosting Services | VPS Customisation And Purchase Broken
At the moment due to a recent upgrade to the VPS section of the store that allows customers to customise a VPS is broken and the prices do not update to reflect the selections visitors make and the add to basket button is broken so it is not even possible to buy VPS servers at the moment. I have now started to update the site to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, once the updates are applied, customers will be able to use "Sliiiders" to create a customised VPS server to your own specification.
I will post an update here as soon as the issue is resolved.

Web Design Services | New Web Site Launched For Andrews Limousines
I have just completed another new web site project for a new client who already owned a web site which was looking dated although the site was only a couple of years old, it was an improvement on the previous version which was done in flash and made it basically invisible to search engines at the time it was published. The design brief was quite challenging because my client liked the look of a web site that basically broke all the rules the pages contained a tiny amount of text the main navigation was at the bottom of the page so it is actually out of sight when the homepage loads. After hours of work I created a design and layout for the pages that looked nice and presented the business in a professional manner and make it easy for visitors to find information about the services they offer as well as attracting new customers.

Another web design project completed and launched successfully, the project was for a new client who runs local clinic providing ostepathy and complementary treatments, their existing web site looked dated and they had decided to start again and have a new web site. The new web site has a very clean and uncluttered design and the web site content is divided into sections, the main navigation panel contains links to all the sections of the site and the pages within them to make it easy for visitors to find the information they seek or to get in touch and make enquiries and hopefully lead to them becoming a client/patient at Ansdell House Clinic in the future.
