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.
CodeIgniter E-Commerce Software
Posted: 13th Aug 2009
Well we are very pleased with our new Halogy powered E-Commerce software. We have just finishing making some new updates to the software which up until now has only really been quite basic. Now you can have your customers write product reviews, set up your own customised shipping bands and postage tables, insert discount coupon codes and lots more.
Another CodeIgniter Project - Car Sages
Posted: 24th Mar 2009
Another project we finished a few weeks ago was a site called Car Sages. A car questions and answers community. It was an experiment to see how long it would take to build a site with user registration, question asking and answering and other nifty features like AJAX search and autocomplete.
Well it took 2 days - roughly 18 hours. Thanks to CodeIgniter. The site is far from complete, but it goes to show what you can do when you have a spare weekend and not a lot else to do. :-)
New Permissions System on Halogy
Posted: 11th Mar 2009
We have finished building some amazing new features to Halogy. We are so excited about them and we are itching to create new screencasts to show the features in action. Halogy has grown ten fold over the last couple of months and not only that but the branding is coming along nicely (more to come on that later).
The features include a new permissions system, an events system and enhancements to the templating part of the CMS.
CodeIgniter - Custom errors using the Form Validation class
Posted: 4th Mar 2009
TECHY WARNING - This post has techy-talk, be warned
Recently I've been using the new Form Validation Class on CodeIgniter and though overall it is much better than the previous validation class I found a gripe with it recently when trying to add custom error messages using the "validation_errors()" helper.
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.
CodeIgniter - building web sites fast!

What is CodeIgniter?
I have been using CodeIgniter for about 6 months now and I really love it. It is basically a framework that you can build web applications on quickly. A bit like Symfony or the Zend Framework it allows developers to not have to re-invent the wheel every time they build a blog or a shopping cart system. We have built so many web applications which would normally have taken months, thanks to CodeIgniter framework.
