So 60′s – Social Media & Technology with a 60′s flavour

Had to chuckle when I saw this 60′s mockup of Facebook, Skype, & YouTube which created by the Brazilian ad agency “Moma”. The idea behind the campaign is that everything ages fast. The ad’s are currently been run in a Brazilian newspaper.

Enjoy, I know I did…

Is online shopping safe?

Is online shopping safe?So, the other day I am online and surfing for items for a nursery (my little boy is due in 5 weeks and time is running out. I am still working, so it is hard to get to the shops, and now that I am rather round and somewhat heavier, it is a little hard to walk around the shops for very long when I do actually get there). But back to the story… and there I see the most beautiful linen for the cot. It is perfect, so where can I buy it from… the USA… aargh online shopping – my worst nightmare.

What is an eBook?

What is a computer virus?

A computer virus is a piece of software that gains access to your computer and there replicates itself. From there it is able to spread and infect other computers that yours is linked to. (more…)

Afridesign Website Launch 2010


A Fresh, New-Looking Afridesign Website!
After months of hard work, careful consideration and revamp after revamp, we are excited to announce that our new website has finally been launched! Starting with a complete code makeover, we have completely rebuilt the site from the ground up. With an array of improvements from syndication and API’s to source code compression.

Talking about the website, Wayne Howcroft, Managing Director at Afridesign, commented: ‘I am delighted with our new website, I believe it not only reflects what we are about, but it also showcases what we are capable of from a technical and creative standpoint. This has truly been a team effort, from design concept to final role out. Big thanks to the team for the number of hours and all the contributions that have gone into this project.’

What have we changed, or added?

We have incorporated the following into the new website:

  • Mobile websites, or .mobi sites – a great advertising platform for large scale promotional campaigns
  • Corporate Identity packages, giving you the option of having an entire corporate identity created for your business alongside your logo
  • Social Media & Internet marketing packages, allowing you to get the most out of your website
  • RSS, Twitter and Facebook feeds
  • A new, improved blog

Why have we done this?

New services: Over the last few years, the range of services that we offer has grown quite substantially, and we felt that the new website should be a reflection of this. We have also tried to provide as much information as possible about our services, on our website.

Usability: We have aimed at making the navigation of our website easier for our clients and visitors. We do not want anyone struggling to find what they need on our website.

A New Look: We just got bored with the look of the previous website. It was time for something different & a bit more up-to-date!
