We recently launched a website for Gloucestershire-based Northway Preschool Playgroup.
The website is now completely managed by staff via the MODx CMS. Editing and creating new content is very easy and quick to carry out.
We have also provided the hosting, email accounts and support.
The site can be viewed here.
We hope to add further features to the site in the near future.
Webination are now able to offer a similar system to other playgroups, schools and charities. If you are looking for a new website and work in the education sector please contact us for a free consultation to discuss your requirements.
The site can be viewed at www.northwaypreschoolplaygroup.co.uk.
We have just revamped another e-commerce site (built in the Magento e-commerce platform) and launched an initial version of the online branded and plain clothing website.
With many more products and website features planned for a second phase, this site promises to be right up there with the best online clothing websites in the UK.
View the site at www.aplclothing.co.uk
Having been in distribution, print and branding since 1986, APL Clothing aim to be the best you can find in branded clothing and pre 12am delivery of plain clothing. They have in-house design and can embroider, screen print and heat transfer print.
Earlier today, according to consulting firm AptiQuant a study gave web surfers an IQ test and mapped their scores against the browser they used.
The findings have since been reported bogus and it has been confirmed that IE6 users do not have an average IQ matching that of a chimpanzee!

Webination has just completed some changes to the APL Express carrier bag and express print website. The changes have involved enhancement of the top area of the page, including graphics modifications and integration of social media links, Facebook ‘like’ and ‘send’ buttons and a Google +1 button.
Webination has also set APLExpress up with Twitter, Facebook and a blog site.
The blog site can be visited at www.carrier-bags.com , the Twitter feed at www.twitter.com/aplexpress and theFacebook page at www.facebook.com/aplexpress.
The APL Express website isbuilt in Magento Commerce. Webination will be carrying out regular work on the site in the coming months.
If you want print, APL are world leaders for online ordering of printed carrier bags.
They are expanding year on year by meeting their customer needs, and they operate from their modern warehouse and fulfilment offices in Worthing. They are motivated and knowledgeable enough to answer all questions and needs. The website is intended to be quick, functional, and honest, with a single aim: getting what you want, to you, as fast as possible!
Yesterday, eBay and Magento announced that eBay have aquired the company in full, investing in the remaining 51% of Magento. They purchased the other 49% earlier this year.

On Thursday 28th April Colin Bickers a.k.a. ‘The Lonely Knight‘ finally arrived at Buckingham Palace after walking 60 miles over 5 days!
The BBC were kind enough to give him his very own news article which you can read here.
He left Worthing on St.George’s Day and survived his journey to central London only through the generosity of the British public (and public houses!). His route was mapped live via GPS and can be viewed on the Social Hiking site here.
His insane quest was in aid of Chestnut Tree House, the only children’s hospice in Sussex and also Help for Heroes. Upon arrival at Westminster he had already hit his target of £2,500 but thanks to his interview on the BBC’s Royal Wedding TV coverage on Friday 29th April he has now raised nearly £3,500 from donations all around the world!
______ UPDATE ______
Revised figure raised as of May 11th is £6,138.80!! Wow! Blog article here
________________
He also had lots of other press coverage and appearances promoting his crusade, some of which can be viewed here. You can still done via the JustGiving site here.
A gallery recording his epic journey from Worthing to London can be viewed here.
Congratulations Lonely Knight! The only question on our minds now is what you are going to do next year?

I wonder how many applications Google had for this job vacancy they posted on 1st April?
http://www.google.com/intl/en/jobs/uslocations/mountain-view/autocompleter/index.html
Probably quite a few!
Although I doubt anyone has 32,000 words per minute typing speed!
Interesting news! Google have just announced their equivalent to the Facebook ‘Like’ button for their search results. There’s not a huge amount of information out there at the moment and several links they have supplied go to non-existant pages but of what we’ve seen it looks good!
Click here for more details about it.
It’s not every day you see St.George taking a stroll along the beach on the South Coast of England. With occasional passer-by comments such as “Where’s the dragon?” and “You’ll rust up on the beach mate“, the Lonely Knight (aka Colin Bickers) responds with random comments such as “What year is this?” and “Where can a weary soldier find a pint of English ale in this place?“.
Click here to view a selection of photographs from todays shoot.
The photo shoot is to promote the Lonely Knight’s upcoming charity walk which will see him carry a rose from Worthing’s Rose and Crown pub to London, arriving in time to cast the rose before the royal wedding carriage on the 29th April.
Visit his website here to keep up to date with his challenge.
He estimates it will take him 5 days and leaves Worthing on St.George’s Day. To add to the bravery of this gallant knight he will not be carrying and food, instead relying on the generosity of random establishments he may fall upon on his journey.
All charity proceeds will go to Chestnut Tree House, Sussex’s only children’s hospice which cares for life-limited children and young adults aged 0-19 and also provides support for their families.
Please donate to this worthy cause on the The Lonely Knight’s JustGiving page here.
