We are pleased to announce Project Bubble has been launched!
Project Bubble is a free, easy-to-use, project management tool. Easily organise, manage, reorder and share projects, contacts and invoices.
It's taken a while but thanks to the CRM features of Halogy, we've been able to get Project Bubble off the ground. It's totally free, so sign up and have fun!
Drupal vs Halogy
Posted: 15th Oct 2009
I have been using Drupal this week to build a website with a shop (Ubercart), user login, and obviously content managed areas. I built the HTML/CSS from a provided design (as you normally would), and then went about uploading it to Drupal and setting up the Shop.
It took me the best part of 8-10 hours to install, configure and set up this website (not including the time taken to build the HTML/CSS). It wasn't very easy, and I had to download a lot of modules and configure them just to get a shop running. Please read on...
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.

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)!
New Site Launched - Philo Trust

SEO Friendly CMS
Posted: 2nd Sep 2009
We have been looking at other CMSs (by the way it's CMSs or CMS not CMS Systems - just a little bugbear of ours!) that provide Search Engine Friendly (SEO) pages. There are a few, some complicated, some not complicated.
Halogy provides all of it's URLs in a Search Engine Friendly manner, allows for meta tagging, meta descriptions and automatically generates site maps, robots.txt and backlinks in the blog. So we think that it's pretty cool (of course).
If you want to know more you should have a look at the ThirtyDayChallenge as they cover SEO very well. They provide a list of free resources too to help get your blog search engine optimised, like Weebly and others.
Our Ethos (Web Development Process)
Posted: 31st Aug 2009
I thought I would just share a bit about how we think the web development process should work - from when a client submits a brief to the site being handed over (and beyond). We are calling this the Halogy Ethos because it forms the basis of why we built Halogy.
Headlines Module for Halogy
Posted: 28th Aug 2009
We have recently been working for a client called the Philo Trust building their new site in Halogy. In their brief they requested site-wide feeds from modules such as Shop and Events. In other words they wanted to be able to have a sidebar which always showed what was in their cart, what events are upcoming and what blog posts are recent.
