The launch of the iPhone in 2007 opened our eyes to what was possible with mobile computing and captured the hearts of many millions of users (over 183 million of them so far). From a developer’s point of view it was a massive leap forward for mobile, but Apple are no longer leading the pack.

It’s usually the first question new clients ask. “How much will my website cost?”. The simple answer is that the bigger you’re budget the more time we’ll be able to spend on the project and the better the final product will be.

Bespoke web development, by nature, is a flexible friend. We always ask a series of questions when first discussing a new project with a client. One of those questions is “what is your budget please?”. We ask this for a very good reason!

If you are tempted to spend the whole of your available budget for the project upon its initial development you may wish to pause for a moment. If you have limited funding for your project or even personal savings then you may want to think about ongoing costs before spending 100% of your budget on the initial design and build.

“Responsive Web Design” is a trend which is only going to continue to grow in popularity in 2012 so I thought I’d take some time out to explain what it means for clients.

The phrase is destined to become the latest in a long line of buzzwords like “Web 2.0”, “Ajax” and “Cloud”, plastered across booths at conventions and thrown around by agency types who have no idea what they mean, but the technique could save web and mobile developers a lot of time and our time is your money so you may want to read on...

First of all, apologies for not posting on here for a while. We've been working hard on some really exciting projects recently and we're really proud to announce that we've undertaken projects for both Hotel Chocolat and Honda Europe in recent weeks.

We've always considered ourselves to be a "premium" design and development agency so it's important for us to back up our work with a premium service, which means supporting our growing client base in a timely and professional manner. Which is why we've decided to trial a new helpdesk system from Zendesk. We'd like to introduce you to "myTVI"

We've been testing my.tvi internally and we're fairly confident it should allow us to offer us a better level of support and we're ready to start trialling in with a few of our clients. If you guys like it as much as we do then we'll roll it out to everybody.

myTVI makes it easy for you to alert us if there is a problem with your site and keep track of the responses. It'll also help ensure that we never miss a ticket and are alerted to serious problems immediately via text message.

If you'd like to be included in the trial then please email ben.nylk@tvidesign.co.uk

After many weeks of hard work we've finally launched our new website. What do you think?

You'll probably have noticed by now that you're reading our new blog, which we'll be using to keep everybody up-to-date with our movements, product launches and promotional offers, along with some thoughts and advice on web design and development that we hope you'll find useful.

We'd love to hear your feedback, so if you've spotted a spelling mistook, have a useful suggestion, or just fancy a chat then don't hesitate to call us, or drop me a line on jon@tvidesign.co.uk
