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.
jQuery for Beginners
Posted: 23rd Nov 2009
Following my article on Woorkup, I thought I'd just post a working demo of what I wrote about - a basic jQuery form fade.
Copy and paste the code below in to your website, and it should work! I have also put a working demo below as well.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$('.showform').click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$('#mydiv').fadeIn();
});
});
</script>
<!--Start of container div, and form-->
<div id="mydiv" style="display:none;">
<form id="myform" action="wherever.php" method="post">
<input name="myinput" type="text" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</div>
<p>To show the form <a class="showform" href="/mylink.php">click here</a>.</p>
<!-- End of form and container div -->
To show the form click here.

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.
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)!
