Man oh Man it can be though keeping a blog on the road, and some of yee may have noticed that as well this Blog, I have been keeping a Web development blog on Pride Design for the past while now, this blog deals mostly with the fanaticising (!) world of web development and the issues that I encounter while working with Pride developing our content managed websites – As there are only so many hours in the week and as I don’t think that duplicated content servers any purpose, I have decided that I will publish most if not all of my webby stuff on my pride blog from now on, and keep this blog for other software engineering and development stuff.

So if you get a chance why not pop over to my pride blog and take a look, but don’t forget to visit this blog as I am working on some very interesting non web-stuff at the moment too and hope to keep this blog up to date too – thanks!!

Pride Design (www.pridedesign.ie) has put the new Adare Bridal (www.adarebridal.ie) website live.  Once again we have been working closely with pride on the development of this site.  The site is built using drupal 6 and uses custom CCK types and drupal views to model (pun intended) and display all those fantastic designers and their bridal gowns!

The site is a full CMS solution, the client can add, edit or remove content on the site including designers, dresses, special offers etc. by just logging in and using a simple content administration interface.

On Friday our good buddies (and design partners) at Pride Design (www.pridedesign.ie) flipped the big switch and put the new Cully and Sully website live, www.cullyandsully.ie.  We have been working closely with pride on the C&S site revamp and are very happy with the outcome.  The site is built using drupal 6 and involved quite a bit of hardcore Content Management System work which kept us both happy and very busy!!

Check it out and let us know what you think – www.cullyandsully.ie

Congratulations to our good buddies and award-winning web design & development partners over at Pride Design, they have just flipped the big switch and put their new website live – nothing like a new website for the new year!

They tell me that there is still some tweaking and tuning to do on the site and that they will be getting around to in the next week – but once again congratulations and well wear!
