December 2001
Phew! Well the virtual tour's been done - despite's Microsoft's
best efforts to make viewing QuickTime movie files an effort - but
this site is still awaiting final body copy from the Client so we
can't show it to you yet - not long now, though.
This year we decided not to send out our printed Wymondham
Christmas cards but instead to donate their cost to some beneficial
use, so we chose the St. Martins
Housing Trust's Norwich Night Shelter for their excellent work; on
22 December 2001 we delivered chocolates, luxury biscuits, ladies' and
gents.' toiletries and Tesco and Boots vouchers to the shelter. We
did, however, nip out with the camera to make
a virtual card for Clients.
Finally, a new Client whose designers and hosts had gone bust. We
took some source files and made the site work again in a few days. The
site will go live on our servers in the first week of January 2001.
November 2001
November's been very hectic indeed. A lot of updates to our
Clients' sites - mainly Tony Bingham,
Fenwick Elliott and the
Association for Project Management
- as well as the roll-out of the new .biz and
.info domain names.
To be frank, the .biz roll-out hasn't been handled well in our
opinion and we're getting embroiled in an IP battle with the
registrars over one or maybe both (who knows? NeuLevel Inc. can't seem
to let us know) of the relevant domain names we filed IP claims for.
We'll see.
A further wrinkle is that even though the .biz name you want does
not show up in a whois search - see our domain
names page - that name may have what NeuLevel (they can't even
spell 'new', it seems, or are they just being luvvies?) refer to as
Registry Reserve Status.
That's enough ranting for now...
Towards the end of the month, we'll be visiting our trade-only
antiques dealer Client to prepare the virtual tour of their premises.
Watch this space for the results!
October 2001
 e-Business
Week Event
Web Designersdesigns, manages, hosts and is the major
sponsor of the Wymondham
Business web site, a local directory and web portal for businesses
in and around Wymondham in Norfolk.
As part of the Department of Trade and Industry's UK Online for
Business initiative, e-Business Week will take place during 8 -
12 October 2001.
Our ongoing commitment to the local community has led us to an
association with the Wymondham Development partnership. We took part
in the "Light Byte" Business Breakfast hosted by Business
Byte and the Oaktree Partnership. The format was a series of
(very) short presentations from Business Byte, NEAT, Wymondham
Learning Initiative and Wymondham Business Website - that's us!
For further information, please visit
the Wymondham Business web site News section.
On 12 October, Broadland
102 - our local radio station - featured us for their Donut Run
(and very nice they were too!). Thanks very much, Donna - it was a
pleasure.

follow in due course.
June 2001
Gosh, what happened to May?
Well we're pleased to say that May (and indeed most of June) has
passed with a blur as we're very busy - bucking the industry norm from
what we hear - working on new sites and updating many others.
New Clients include the Major Projects Adjudication Group and
discussions on content delivery for some of our other large Clients
continue.
We're also working closely with a Client to enable their web site
to provide instant on-line quotes for conveyancing: more on this in
due course.
April 2001

ever-increasing Client List.
February 2001
The new portal for businesses within Wymondham has been launched. Its
purpose is to provide a launch pad for e-commerce within the market town
and is supported by town and district councils.
The launch was featured in the local and regional press and has
attracted a lot of interest within the local business community.
