Going solo

As of Tuesday I took the decision to no longer be Creative Director at Un.titled. It was a really hard decision to make, but I’ve decided I want to set up shop on my own with a little studio called Alloneword...

How to use Google Analytics to improve UX

The more and more the web progresses, so does a person’s expectation of a website and what it should do for them. While we of course want our websites to look good, we also need to ensure we are giving our users what they want and how they want it, and one way to do this is by looking at our website’s analytics, to see what users are actually doing…

Merry Christmas

As I while away the last hours of work before I finish, and head back to my family and start festivities, I wanted to put together a little message for anyone else looking to kill a little time before they do the same, and to wish all a good Christmas and 2016 filled with love and happiness...

Why you need to treat your website like a member of staff

Driving to a client meeting yesterday I was pondering, as I often to on the way to these sorts of things, what it means to be a website and the overarching attributes it might need to consider. This particular drive I started to think about the term 'brochure' site, which gets thrown around from time to time...

Exploring Leicester – Part 5: Leicester Forest East

After last weeks venture over to the other side of town to explore Stoneygate, we decided to keep things a bit closer to home with a trek around Leicester Forest East, which our house sits on the borders of. There's not a lot to the area really, with clusters of houses built up around the main road out of Leicester merging into one swell, but we could see on the map there was some green space tucked away at the back.

Exploring Leicester – Part 4: Stoneygate

Now we're on part 4, I found we had to go on a little drive to get to our next exploration, which was the beautiful and historic suburb of Stoneygate. We've wandered around and through there before, but there are so many streets I've peered down but not had an excuse to go down, until now.

Exploring Leicester – Part 3: Kirby Muxloe

Being just around the corner from us, and steeped in history and period charm (it even has a castle!) Kirby Muxloe is charming and quaint. We've been to the pubs and restaurants a few times, but there are so many little streets and nooks that I wanted to hit that next on mine and Rufus' adventures.

Exploring Leicester – Part 2: Aylestone

The same weekend as part 1, we went over to Aylestone to have a nosey around the meadows and old part of the suburb. I used to live in Aylestone and have friends that still live there, so I drive past the meadows and old town roads regularly, and have always wanted to have a poke around. We donned our adventure wellies and set out on another trek.

Exploring Leicester – Part 1: Braunstone Town

Its no secret I'm a big fan of Leicester, and recently Rufus and I have been going on little walking adventures on Saturday mornings around Braunstone Town, which is the district of Leicester we live in. I love wandering down streets I've often driven past to see what's down there, and we sometimes uncover lovely bits of architecture, a hidden park or even just a pretty street.
