Hi

can anyone recommend a good web designer in the Cardiff area?

Not in Cardiff but we are good… 😉

Tidy will be in touch………….

Bristol?

I use guys in Karachi, who are superb and about 1/3rd of the price of anyone in Cardiff. They have corporate clients all over the world and many web design agencies contract out work to them and then charge clients UK rates…..

I bet you're really proud of that.

What a wonderful sense of community you have.

I can only hope that Someone in Karachi ends up under-cutting you. See you in the JSA office.

Pure non-outsourced, UK-based, blood, sweat and tears here…

I have a sense of Global community. The world is a bigger place than the UK. Anyone who thinks he's only competing with the guy down the road is an ****. I am actually proud of the fact that I can get a better deal for my clients, work with interesting people with a different perspective and as a matter of interest, where was your bike manufactured? Or does manufacturing fall outside your insular, jingoistic perspective?

EDIT And IMO Gary's blood sweat and tears are no more or less noble than anyone elses

Only if they're shite! Outsourcing seems to end up coming down to the same theory in my experience. Pay peanuts, get…

And seeing as we're all plugging our buinesses. Ahem….

And we've already established that we're approximately 0.000000001% cheaper than mastiles_fanylion 🙂

I'm in Cardiff — email address in profile.

Ironically I ride a Five LOL

And yes, my experience of outsourcing, both in the Software and Web industry, is 100% get what you pay for.

We're currently fixing a client's outsourced "mess" right now. (Edit, that is they paid for outsourced and it turned into a non-delivering money pit so they're starting over)

We've ended up trying to sort out the shambles from various outsourced cowboys in Mumbai. When some clever-arse in a marketing dept thought he'd cut some corners and save a bit of cash. After all: its all the same innit? What could possibly go wrong?

Inevitably you end scrapping the lot, and starting again from scratch

Also in Bristol. Portfolio on request if none of the Cardiff guys (and gals) suit you.

Work with international clients, big corp down to cottage industry types selling jam out of their backdoor (literally).

Happy riding!

We've used Peter Gill a few times with good results. They're in Canton

LoCo, YGM…

What a weird point of view. The fellas in Pakistan need to eat the same as fellas in Cardiff.

Binners,

Your strapline doesn't inspire confidence:

"Whatever the breif, we'll attack it with relish – from coorporate branding to e-commerce – we deliver a service entirely relavant to your companies needs"

4 spelling mistakes in one sentence.

Website looks good as well but attention to detail is important.

Binner, well done on reacting with speed but there are still spelling mistake in that strapline. Let's see if you can spot and fix it before I get home 😉

or did you – is it just that different pages have different spelling errors?

Whatever the brief, we'll attack it with relish – from corporate branding to e-commerce – we deliver a service entirely relevant to your companies needs

There ya go!

Binner, well done on reacting with speed

Weren't those errors pointed out to him weeks ago by mastiles_fanylion! 😉

To be fair, most good designers are terrible at spelling.

So that's why I'm a rubbish designer…

You've actually changed one mistake to another mistake.

Tommy: you've missed one as well.

EDIT: Find them yourself!

Bristol based as well, well South Glos anyway.

I'll send you my portfolio if required 🙂

Swindon, wildly talented, cheap, unreliable and easily distracted.

@Mr Nutt

Lol

Please say that's right now?!

pfft relish, I'll bring a large pot of Dijon mustard, some mashed potato and some green beans! (don't push me, I've got veal stock and a lot of onions!)

Thanks all, shall be in touch in due course, have been stuck in the snow for a while…..

cant get the image of briefs being attacked with (tomato) relish out of my head.

Please ditch that awful strapline.

Yes I believe I pulled him up on that a while ago – I am a bit of a spelling/grammar pedant 🙂

lol @ binners homepage. I couldn't see the typos 'cos I couldn't read the grey text on black background. And I think there's a logo top left but again I can't read it.

We are good and on the border of (North) Wales. We have already designed a couple of websites in response to singletrackworld user posts [url=http://www.theoutsideagency.co.uk/hosted/overtheedge/]here[/url] and [url=http://www.wrigleydevelopment.co.uk/]here[/url].

That nav looks a bit, err, familiar David!
