In the animated movie "the Incredibles" there is a wonderful scene where Edna (clothing designer for the superheroes) explains to Mr Incredible all of the reasons why he shouldn’t have a cape on his next super-suit. At the end, she sums it all up nicely: No Cape!
Is your website sleepy?

Your website shouldn't just sit around - it needs to do something!
In the past couple of years, the web has changed. Today, we don't think about websites as being collections of "pages" any more - we look at websites as collections of content. That content can be articles, blog posts, events, audio, video - just about anything.

With any project, there are three areas that really matter: the available budget, the available time, and the desired quality. Anyone who tells you that they can deliver high-quality, at low cost, in a short timeframe, with all the bells & whistles... is lying!

There is an old cartoon which depicts several different versions of a tyre swing. The various panels show the evolution of the concept - as marketing requested it, as sales ordered it, as engineering designed it, etc... The final panel in the sequence shows "what the customer wanted".
