We are proud to announce the launch of another web app - Invoice Bubble. Simple and affordable invoicing for freelancers and small businesses.
The Best Web Apps
Posted: 3rd Mar 2010
Don't forget you can find a collection of great web apps on our web app review blog which now has nearly 400 subscribers and 200 Twitter followers. It's worth a look.
We did have a small period over the last few weeks when it didn't get updated (sorry about that), but we're back on the case now.
Project Bubble Video
Posted: 1st Mar 2010
Over the weekend I made a video for Project Bubble. The video is different from other videos I have made in that it follows a script and is edited carefully, as opposed to a single live take with a bit of trimming. I'm quite proud of the video, let me know what you think. The video is hosted by Vzaar a new video hosting company that offer a good service.
Gloucestershire Police Authority
Posted: 12th Feb 2010
I've just finished working on a new website for the Gloucestershire Police Authority. The brief was to take their old site that was built in the 90s and had very bad information architecture (layout and usability), in to the 2010s.
I redesign the IA, and created a look and feel that was appropriate for the organisation. The idea is to make sure that users who visit get the information they need quickly, but also to provide a reasonably pleasant user experience. Accessibility tools are also provided for screen reading, text and contrast changes.
Visit their site here.

Inspiration: Building Web Apps
Posted: 13th Jan 2010
If you have an idea for a web app and you don't believe that it will be successful or you don't think you have the time to build it, think again. It is possible!
I want to share with you how I was inspired to build a web app of my own for a particular need in my life, and how I was able to build it and launch it successfully in just three months.
Note: this article was originally written as a guest post for Inspired Magazine and can be found here.
Great Web Apps!
Posted: 26th Nov 2009
Introducing another Haloweb creation - Great Web Apps. Because we are so passionate about web apps, we thought we would launch a site reviewing the best ones!
Of course, it's powered by Halogy. If you know of a great web app, submit it.
CMS Template Design and Build
Posted: 1st Oct 2009
We have just finished designing and building some templates for Halogy CMS.
The process is similar to other CMS like Wordpress or Drupal - do the information architecture design, design the look and feel in Photoshop, then build it in to HTML/CSS. The next part will be integrating it in to the CMS. We are pleased with what we've done so far.
What we do.
Posted: 25th Sep 2009
Most of our business is now providing CMS powered websites to new businesses and web agencies. Because of our experience and work-flow we are able to offer very competitive fixed fees for our service.
For example, did you know that we can provide a CMS powered website, with template build and support for under £500 ($750)?
We recently launched a new face to Haloweb which does exactly what it says on the tin. CMS PHP provides the design, template build and support for a low, fixed price. And what's more we support many CMS (e.g. Wordpress, Drupal, Halogy).
So if you want us to help you out in this area, email us!
Jquery Autosave Plugin in Halogy
Posted: 21st Sep 2009
We just wanted to show off this new autosave feature of Halogy powered by this amazing Jquery plugin. We had to make a few customisations but it's working well.

CMS PHP
Posted: 18th Sep 2009
As clients of Haloweb will know, we have been working with content management systems for the last 4-5 years, designing CMS powered websites and supporting them.
Well we are launching a new face to Haloweb which is CMS PHP - a very specific service that designs templates for a website, installs them in to any PHP based CMS, and provides ongoing support for £15.00 per month (or $20.00 /pm).
The site has just gone live, in fact it took us just 1 day to design, build and integrate in to Halogy thanks to the new Halogy Template Import tool (we'll cover this shortly)!
