There are a couple good free icon websites that many designers use when putting together designs for various applications, IconFinder.net and IconArchive.com being a couple. However the ...

Kulula booking form: ur doin it rong
Dear Kulula web designers Good job on the new site and all, but you might want to make sure all your tees are crossed and your eyes are dotted. The calendar on your website is anything but userfriendly. Your nifty little slideshow isn't correctly z-indexed and it means that the only people that can use the popup calendar are level 55 COD4 Experts... We can see all of 3 or 4 pixels of the "Select" button......

For the last 4 or 5 years that I've been using WordPress, I've managed to pick up a good few tips and tricks. 90% of my clients are sites who require content management systems, not blogs. And thus I've been able to create highly tweaked and customized Wordpress content management systems that give my clients a great method of controlling their entire website via WordPress's great user interface. I thus decided to start WPGuru.co.za ...

7 Wordpress themes that don’t suck
I couldn't count the sites that claim to have the 'best wordpress themes' if I wanted to. There's just too many. And most of them are crap. They've clearly been thrown together in a half-hour in a lame attempt to get some backlinking-footer action. There are however, a few designers that actually put their back into it and have come up with some really impressive and innovative Wordpress Themes. These are from designers who've gone beyond the straightforward main content and ...

Its taken me ages to finish cos its been an afterhours project, but finally its done and pretty much ready for human consumption. Take a second and ...

L33t Designer - Web Designer Reality Show

In a world where reality shows capture the attentions of probably millions who want to know which chef won, who dissed Paris, which playmate got nookie... now online geeks (myself included) can find out which web designer won. Enter L33t Designer, a soon-to-be-launched web reality show were contestants - web designers - are given challenges to complete in a ...
