All the usual really, not good with database driven sites. I am old fashioned in that I want them to look good ๐Ÿ™‚

๐Ÿ˜€ No reason a dynamic site can't look good mind. Out of interest what sort of size company/ where are you? We are fairly small (<10 permanent staff) and use freelancers on a project by project basis, we havent been busier I dont think.

Peebles, I run a few sites for the boss. We do mainly large scale industrial data capture installations (no it actually is duller than it sounds ๐Ÿ™‚ )
Yeah dynamic sites can look great... just my pathetic way of saying I cant build them ๐Ÿ™‚

Put in your new [lower] wages for last year as well to see what you would get yearly on current salary if that makes sense

Looks like you could use some of the time to learn how to build a good looking database driven site? Not trolling, honestly look at using the time to increase your skills and make yourself more employable

You could have a word with your local Next Steps office to find out what sort of training is about. Nice car not strictly necessary for life any modern wheels will do.
Income protection insurance has been a godsend for me, still unemployed due to reasons that can't be discussed in public. I'm attempting to start again at 46!
