Singer, songwriter and poet. We are currently setting up a website for ‘O’Reily‘ – whose new single, ‘Mama Dear’ (recorded at world-famous Rockfield Studios) will soon be available for download with all proceeds going to Cancer Research Genetics UK.  More to follow…

Poetry Book Awards

The Poetry Book Awards is an annual, international book award given to the best poetry books produced by indie writers, self-published authors or books published by independent or small presses. Even though more and more people are enjoying and participating in creative writing it is becoming increasingly difficult to become traditionally published, especially in the poetry world. Most of the top book prizes and competitions do not allow self-published authors to enter. If they are allowed then many are extremely expensive leaving independent publishers, self-publishers and indie authors struggling to find the recognition they deserve. Instead of asking for huge sums of money from those shortlisted we instead charge an entry fee for each entry.


Catrin Collier

Catrin Collier is one of Wales’s best-known authors with over forty novels to her name. This new design showcases most of her books and also has video clips from the Tanabi Films production of ‘By Any Name‘. She is famous for her ‘Hearts of Gold‘ series, which was made into a BBC Wales drama. Her new book is ‘Glyndwr‘ – the compelling story of the man who became the legendary Owain Glyndwr; the Prince of Wales and leader of the last Welsh rebellion.


Writers of Wales

This is a new project that aims to highlight many of the great Welsh writers in the country, both past and present.  We will be creating A-Z listings of as many Welsh (or Welsh-connected) writers that we can find from throughout history and then adding all the new, modern authors out there as well as time goes on. So whether you’re a Brythonic historian, a best-selling TV celebrity, a sports star, a celebrated crime writer, a politician, priest or poet, or one of the new breed of ‘indie’ writers we want to hear from you. All we ask is that you have some connection to Wales.


Little Monkeys Play Centre

In Jan 2019 we designed a new website for Little Monkeys Play Centre in Penygraig. The site highlights the events at the centre, the great food available and also has online forms where parents can book parties for their children.

The Centre has numerous events and activities throughout the year and there is also an active Facebook page where photos are uploaded.


CAB RCT

From Nov 2017 through Feb 2018 we developed a new Intranet site for the local Citizens Advice Bureau (RCT). This secure, internal site has a login for the staff to help them communicate with each other while at different sites and also provides a social network ‘activity’ area where staff can post messages to each other to ensure the smooth running of operations.


The Old Ynysybwl Inn

May / June 2017 saw us create a website for traditional country pub – The Old Ynysybwl Inn. A popular local pub tucked away in the heart of the Cynon Valley, just four miles north of Pontypridd. Famous for its home-cooked Sunday lunches and a host of local events the pub is a hidden gem in this world of plastic, imitation watering holes. This site will be updated next year.


Tivoli Therapeutic Services Ltd.

March saw us design a web presence for Tivoli Therapeutic Services Ltd. who provide psychiatric and psychological consultation, assessment and treatment. As well as traditional methods they also offer treatment complemented by the healing effects of the natural environment and equine-assisted growth and development. The company is run by Anna Pascall who is an experienced Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist with over 25 years of clinical experience in the field.


Forest Fuels

In January 2017 we designed a new website for Forest Fuels. A south Wales business that sells firewood for wood-burning stoves. The site is responsive and features opening hours, contact details and wood care.


Wales Trails

The site includes information on repeating the ride, possible route options, a photo gallery and many links to useful resources such as cafes, pubs, accommodation, bike shops and history. There is also a humorous paperback and e-book to accompany the project.


Prostate Cancer Wales & UK

Doggie Blog

ss_doggie_500

In August 2014 we launched Doggie Blog. The website provides a resource for pet owners and dog lovers everywhere. The aim of the site was to inform people about animal welfare issues in a humorous and easy-going way. The site also contained many pages of walks in and around the south Wales area, accompanied by high-quality photographs. The site had a shop and business directory for dog lovers and those offering pet-related services, e.g. dog grooming, and dog sitting. It has since been bought by an Australian company and is no longer under our control.


Friends of Talybont Reservoir

ss_tr_500

In 2014 we used WordPress to produce a web presence for the Local Nature Reserve at Talybont-on-Usk.

Pontypridd Town

ss_ponty_500

Set up over 20 years ago to highlight the state of the town centre this site has gone from strength to strength with its often outspoken views on re-development. The site administrators have re-designed the site using html and css many times over the years. Recently though some new pages have been added including shopping links. This very large site has news, history, pub guides, rugby, a business directory and a comprehensive links section. It also links seamlessly to other local sites in the south Wales area.

As well as the new WordPress design, the site also has the much-loved Wales Forum – a place for people to vent their spleen on both local and global news.

The Welsh Poetry Competition

ss_wpc_500

The international Welsh Poetry Competition was begun in Pontypridd in 2007. Aiming to encourage and foster the wealth of creative writing talent that exists in Wales but currently languishes in the doldrums. Looking to the future the site organisers hope the competition will continue to expand internationally, be accessible to all and truly respected as an honest appreciation of populist, good quality, innovative, work. An anthology was produced of the winners of the first five years and a second one will be released in 2016.
