• I've started a new business. Changing things round here.

  31 October 2016 by Clive Walker

  I've started a new business which has meant a period of re-adjustment for me. It's all good but I'm having to balance my 'day job' (web developer) with my new business (running a coworking space in Horsham).

• What I want from a CMS

  13 June 2016 by Clive Walker

  I've been thinking about my business, my skills and knowledge, the type of projects that I do, and the best CMS. This is a brain dump post with a few thoughts about all of that. I may add to the post as my thinking develops.

• Why I shut down a side project

  16 May 2016 by Clive Walker

  Last week, I shut down a personal site. Sussex Pub Links was a directory of pub websites (and related links) but, after a review, I decided it was time to close it.

• Why is it so difficult to redesign personal sites?

  24 February 2016 by Clive Walker

  A bit of a throwaway question I know. But, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to find the time to work on (redevelop) my own sites (this blog included, as you can probably tell).

• Choosing WordPress or Perch. Or Both?!

  12 February 2015 by Clive Walker

  I wrote this post before Christmas where I discussed some potential decisions about the focus of my business. In particular, whether I should focus on a single content management system, WordPress or Perch, for web development. Well, I've decided to continue to use both! Here's why.

• Decisions, decisions...

  12 December 2014 by Clive Walker

  I’ve been doing a lot more thinking about my freelance business over the course of the year. As we approach 2015, it seems like a good time to make a decision…. or, at least, write a blog post!

• Changing the way I build websites

  16 June 2014 by Clive Walker

  I’m changing the way I build websites and moving towards a different front end workflow. Nothing too revolutionary for most of you I’m sure but it feels like a change for me. Here’s what I’m doing.

• New posts planned

  16 July 2013 by Clive Walker

  I've been a bit slow over here recently and that's because I'm busy with quite a few other personal sites. No excuses of course. However, I've been reviewing what I write here and will be posting some new articles soon. Yay!

• Why I still use Dreamweaver despite all the cool kids using something else

  05 April 2013 by Clive Walker

  I’ve been meaning to write a blog post for some time about my web design and development workflow and the tools/software I use. So, this post is part of that and ‘in reply’ to many tweets I see every day (it seems) about other web development tools. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with a healthy marketplace of web design and development software, in fact I heartily support a wider choice. This post is not intended to be criticism of other software either. It’s just that I feel that Dreamweaver sometimes gets a bit of a ‘bad press’ or is perceived as not ‘cool’ – when, in my opinion, it’s still a great web development environment.
