The Halogy Screencasts - Templates (advanced)

In this second Halogy screencast we go in to much more detail showing you how to use the template system of Halogy. In under 10 minutes we take a static HTML build and create a dynamic website out of it. WARNING: This video carries a 'techy' warning!
Sharing Haloweb history - MusoFinder
Posted: 6th Mar 2009
I wanted to share a site we did years ago, called MusoFinder. It started off as a simple idea for connecting musicians launched in 2003. It now has over 40,000 registered users and is one of the most commonly used search engines for musicans. It is a piece of Haloweb history of which we are proud. Check it out.

We have just launched a new Portfolio section called Our Work. It uses a (quite heavily) adapted version of jCarouselLite. We are quite chuffed with it, and also it worked first time in IE6!

A cool new AJAX search feature
Posted: 2nd Mar 2009
We have just implemented a cool new tag based AJAX search feature to the Halogy blog system. It searches tags or keywords that are attached to the blog posts, and then returns the top results underneath. Like the Google "Suggestions" system.
Branding - what's it all about?
Posted: 1st Mar 2009
We have begun work on branding the Halogy product (this is the service that provides everything you need for a website). But what is branding all about?
You have read all about how the Halogy product works I'm sure, but branding it in order to sell it is a whole new world. We want it to look great, but we want the unique selling points to shine through - the fact it is easy to use, the fact it pretty much covers everything most people would need from an off-the-shelf website solution, the fact that it is 100% British!.
Over the next few weeks we will keep you updated on the branding process and explain how this kind of thing works, and how it could work for your business.
Halogy - the "website in a box" solution
Posted: 1st Mar 2009
A lot of people have similar requirements for their websites. They need a nicely designed template, a CMS (Content Management System) so they can update their pages, a Shop and perhaps cool stuff like a blog or a group email deployment system.
Normally they would hire a web company in to build this site bespoke, tailored to their needs and the costs would be a fortune. But today us web developers rarely re-invent the wheel each time this scenario comes up. We can use systems that do all of the above and where all of the hard work has been done already. We have our own system and it's called Halogy.
