New Site Launch - DM Car Care Centre

DM Car Care Centre's new site is the second site in the initial launch to use our new Very Simple CMS and serves as a brochure for DM Car Care’s customers, giving them information on the services and products available in one easy to use website.

Our new Very Simple CMS allows:

  • SEO Friendly URL's
  • Auto generated navigation menu, you choose which pages you want to display
  • Simple drag & drop page hierarchy
  • Insert images and other media into your pages quickly and easily

 

New Site Launch - L.I.F.E

L.I.F.E. or to give them their full title Long Itchington and Surrounding Villages For the Earth are a local organisation that raise awareness locally and show people how, by taking often simple steps, they can reduce their carbon footprint and, in turn, their impact upon our environment, thereby helping to combat global warming.

I took on the task of developing a site that could be easily updated so that their members could be kept in touch with the latest news and events and after trying several popular CMS systems none of them seemed a good fit as all we needed was a simple page creation and information entry system without all the whistles and bells that lead to complicated interfaces and so our Very Simple CMS was born and this is the first of two sites that form the initial launch of the system.

On File Browsing

It’s been interesting to see so many different approaches to improving Finder in OS X. There have been complete separate apps to give additional functionality, as well as utilities that add features to Finder itself. Nothing has ever stuck for me, and I’ve learned to live with a combination of Finder and LaunchBar to do most things.

Lately though, in the spirit of Minimal Mac, I’ve taken to using Transmit for a lot of file related activities. Because it has two panes, each of which can be used for local or remote locations, it’s perfect for moving files from one folder to another. This is certainly faster than using 2 Finder windows.

It’s an application that I almost always have open, I just had to stop thinking of it as a tool to use only for remote file management. It has a lot of the goodness of the Finder included, is lightning quick, and has the lovely breadcrumb trail along the top that gives you a nice visual indication of where you are in your file structure.

To make a short story long, it’s nice option for working with your files and folders.

This is a great idea and one I will be using regularly as I to almost always have Transmit open as Dreamweavers FTP is just to unreliable in my experience.
