Let us explain… As a child, and even sometimes today with Apple or other technology, I had the affliction of ‘shiny new toy’ disease. Put simply, anything new dominated my attention for a few days/weeks/months and sometimes longer (but that was rare) and then, I’d discard said toy/technology in favour of whatever caught my eye next. Now, we at...
Over the years there’s been a rapid growth in offerings from the likes of Wix, GoDaddy and 1&1 that seemingly allow you to create a functioning website - all without a professional web designer.

First, Apple rejected it from their IPhone, IPad and IPod Touch in 2010- the roar of controversy that greeted it seems a bit daft now. Then a series of security controversies greeted dear old Flash, and one by one, Adobe Flash slipped from the go-to plugin to an optional extra- especially after the widespread adoption of HTML5. Which, let’s face it is...
You’re a small business or sole trader that’s looking to build a website for your customers to visit. You see how much some solutions cost (from other companies), and yelp louder than that moment when you discover how much a pint is in London.

While gmail is probably the most popular email provider, there have been some changes that make it harder to set up emails on some items - a prime example being your website. Some users report only being able to get a business email account managed by gmail to work by paying for the G-suite. Try this first though: In Google Mail, you must allow "less secure" apps...
Sometimes, there’s nothing more frustrating than signing up to a service, then for that service to ask you to enter a different password because the one you’ve chosen isn’t strong enough. For example, it could ask you to add an exclamation mark, a number or a few capital letters. Such as Fluffy1 instead of Fluffy when you want a password named after your pet rabbit.
