    Wordpress & IE question!

    Glad to here it is getting there! This image on the homepage: http://jillianhartleyphotography.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/background/135.jpg Is over a 1MB in size which would take a significant time to download and probably explain the sticking, I would recommend you try resampling that down...

    Still using an @hotmail, @aol etc email?

    Hi This sounds like an ideal situation to move to something like Office365 / Google Apps. On the £4 per month Office365 subscription you would get a central place to store all of your files and documents that you can all share, you would get leading business class email service (Hosted...

    Still using an @hotmail, @aol etc email?

    Hi Very basically having office application hosted in the Cloud means rather than having to buy a copy of Office and install locally on each machine, you pay for access to something like Office365 (£4 per month) which you then get a username and password and can use Internet Explorer to login...

    Mobile App Creation

    I would also recommend getting an Adobe Creative subscription for around £30 a month you get full versions of Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Photoshop etc but Dreamweaver CS6 now has instant build phonegap built in. For basic corporate app development it makes life pretty easy to deploy across...

    Still using an @hotmail, @aol etc email?

    I know this too well! The extra benefits like cloud storage can really help improve efficiency of a small business and so it is a shame small companies don't really understand them. For a newly formed company I always try and suggest to get the IT practices right from the start as migrating...

    Still using an @hotmail, @aol etc email?

    I think Google Apps, even the free one is an excellent product, for business I personally think O365 has the edge, even in the £4 a month subscription you get 25GB email, 10GB Sharepoint storage, a team site for easy sharing of information, data and documents, an externally hosted website (admit...

    Still using an @hotmail, @aol etc email?

    Yep, see that all the time!! We almost need a name and shame board for people who do this as an educational method to getting people to realise they need to either use the email service they probably already pay for with their hosting company, or sign up to a Hosted Exchange service like...

    Advertising my business on my car - opinions appreciated!

    Very good point from I Love Spreadsheets, also, are you using your own personal mobile/home phone? If so, do you want that made very public in terms of for example you accidentally cut somebody up who is a bit of a road rager...?

    We have had a few people ask if we take AMEX but as soon as we say no, they are half expecting it and pull out another card anyway!

    Ad agency close offices and work from home

    In terms of technology costs be sure to check out Microsoft Office 365 (link to free trial below) - only £4 per month a user but you get web versions of Word, Excel etc (perfectly adequate) but more importantly for your situation within the £4 subscription you get Microsoft Lync which is a great...

    Outlook 2010 not backing up

    Also a very good idea! FYI if you haven't seen the Office365 E3 Enterprise package for around £15 per month you also get an Professional Plus license for Office to install on up to five machines as well as all the Cloud goodies you get with Office365 (Hosted Exchange with Unlimited storage...

    Outlook 2010 not backing up

    Glad to hear you got it fixed, may be a good time to look into the excellent Microsoft Office365 - only £4 per month but emails then hosted in the Cloud, very fast, very very secure, no need to worry about backups, great spam/anti virus and if your PC / Laptop goes down, just login on any other...
