I recently spent most of my time working on a client’s website, pictured here.
THE BRIEF
The client came to me and my company, Tandolin (which is terribly outdated by the way) ,for help with an existing site she was not happy with (see the old site here). She simply asked us to “Spuce it up”.
THE SOLUTION
Content Management website where the client will be able to:
- Write and edit her own articles
- Manage her photo gallery
- Accept Photo Session bookings online
We provided Chantal with a Joomla! solution that has a custom-built online booking system with calendar, and a categorised photo gallery that enables the client to upload new photos and automatically watermark them in the process.
It may look simple, but ask anyone who has ever designed for simplicity and they will tell you the same thing: “Achieving simplicity requires a lot more brain cells“.
I think she is as pleased as I am about the end-result. Here’s what she said to me today (these are her own words):
It looks fabulous!!! Thanx alot for your hard work and understanding.I will def recomend you to anyone.Thanx a million.
The way our client feels about her website is enough reward for me. It reminds me why I am in this business.
Is this where the world economy is headed?

The title was inspired by this photo that I found through Flickr. I just loved it’s texture and I just fell in love with it. I wrote this post and sourced the picture from flickr entirely from within the Bee console.
When I get some spare time I intend to enhance Bee to be more tightly integrated with the new version of WordPress. For one, it would be great if I could assign and edit tags from the Bee console.
It’s gonna be fun.
Bee and Flickr

This Photo above was pulled by Bee from my flickr account and seamlessly transferred to this blog post. I was never a fan of the wordpress admin console but now with this clean, clever tool, I will definitely be blogging more right here.
This part in bold was written while I was not online and the synced in when I got reconnected.
This – friend – is the way of the internet future. And it’s already here!
(That’s my favourite car of the moment by the way)
