HI Guys! I thought it’s about time I give you an update on how Web Designer Online (WDO) is progressing.

WDO was launched on the 9th of July and so it’s been around a little over 4 months.

General Progress

The site is doing great and much better than I expected!! I’ve had to upgrade my hosting package to cater for the increasing traffic.

Thanks to you guys, of course!

Hi everyone. I just wanted to give an important note.

It’s only been two weeks since the launch of Web Designer Online and have had to look urgently into upgrading my servers for this site. This is due to the success of my previous two articles that brought this site a huge amount of traffic and thus, almost drained all of its bandwidth!

The upgrade will take place in the next 2 days and cause this site a brief downtime of a maximum few hours.

I apologise for this but be assured that I have some great content lined up for when the site is back online!

Web Designer Online (WDO) has finally launched! Phew! As you may have guessed from the name of this site, we’re going help inspire you go further as a web designer. Every web designer/developer out there would like to take their work to the next level. This is why we’re here – To help inspire you make the extra cut. No matter what project you work on, there’s a root to everything. Some designers will be better at what they do than others. The big question is why? Well, it’s simple.

Don’t get me wrong, experience and knowledge are big factors however, Inspiration and knowledge will always be at the root. The better the designer, the greater the inspiration they have and thus, the greater the final result. WDO was initiated for this very reason. To help take you further. Sometimes you have a designers block and just can’t make the cut. Working as Web Developers, we have to get round lots of problems! Here, we will share some of the many techniques and tips we use.

Some of the thinks you can expect here

• Design, Development tutorials
• All Showcase – Design, Tools, Tips

Anyhow we hope you find WDO useful. We’re very excited with this project and hope to take it further very soon.
