We have recently started ‘plugging’ in and playing with our favourite wordpress widgets on a platform for you all to have a wander around, its still in its infancy but if you want to watch us as we work, break and fix the various plug-ins we are testing this is the place to do it …….

Take a peek

Since the internet began I’ve probably had twenty websites. Some I’ve tried to do myself and others I’ve paid for. When I decided to write a book I wanted a site created which blew my socks off… www.yuptoo.co.uk did that the first time I saw it and I’m still proud of it now.

Having used other services before, Rainbow Studios is the only company I would recommend to my friends and fellow writers. To that extent I have passed their details to two of my neighbours who are in the process of setting up their own business sites. Both have come back to me after just one call to tell me they know what they need, how much it will cost and how long it will take.

My site is ever evolving and I have no hesitation utilising their skills for any future changes…

Hello!

How are you?

So who am I?

I’m David, Dave to family, Ditch to friends…… ‘Hello!’

I’m living at home with my two babies, daughters Seren and Poppy, in our home in Warrington, England. They will be 9 and 7 respectively this year with my age to be confirmed at a later date. We have many hairless pets and an extended house yet to be completely decorated.

I have a happy little life and have worked for the same company over twenty one years (by the building of my own consequences which I guess is the choice thing and me making do!)

I am cosmic orderings latest fan and have a faith and much trust in pixiedust.

A Blog design for an up and coming Author with a wicked sense of humour, well worth bookmarking just for a daily dose of Dave the Ditch ……..

As a bit of an experimental foray into the way of the SEO world and as a marketing exercise we decided to build a blog aimed at readers interested in spoiling themselves and those they love. With a mixture of topics and more than one author the aim of the exercise is to give the blog varied but relevant content just as a bit of a test to see what results we could achieve. Its an ongoing project that over time we hope will grow.

We are currently testing out plug-ins for it and would welcome more contributors and article writers.

Pampering for You

As some of you are aware we are spending a little time trialling our favourite plug-ins for wordpress. Over on the WordPress playground we have currently installed plug ins for everything from e-commerce to chat rooms and forums.

Go for a wander and a play and see what is there and if you want dive into the forum over there and add your thoughts and maybe some suggestions on what you would like to see trialled.

Or maybe even suggest your favourite wordpress Plug-ins for us to play with.

We’ll  be adding more over the following days and weeks.

Following a change in direction kiss and make believe decided on a quick makeover to recapture the magic of childrens fancy dress rather than adult lingerie and fancy dress.







And of course to keep everything looking cohesive we gave the blog a quick going over too.

The Rainbow Studios Team were asked not so long ago to get involved in designing a new forum dedicated solely to online trading and e-commerce, there are plenty of business forums out there geared to various types of businesses and it was felt that there was a gap available for a dedicated e-commerce forum that was focussed around making a success of an online store.

It has sections dedicated to all aspects of e-commerce from cart software to dropshipping and wholesale.

So pop along a join up, join the friendly online community of small business owners looking to make a success of their online ventures.

We decided it was time to offer our supporters and followers a bit of a special offer, to celebrate our 2000th uniques visitor to our website we are now offering 25 % off our header graphicsfor both zencart, prestashop and wordpress. Order before 28th March to qualify for a discount.

Go on have a mini make over on us give your site a lift and the beginnings of a whole new look.

We are proud to reveal the latest release in our Portfolio ~ and it really is a break from the norm …

With a complete split store that appears like 2 sites under one roof each having its own design elements.

The Saints Store

The Sinners Store

And with the addition of a drops down log-in and account screen this site really is one of the best designs we have put out so far in my opnion.
