Welcome to the Acorn Concepts Blog

Welcome to the Acorn Concepts blog! Recently I decided to create a blog to help both clients and potential clients to find out how best to make sure that their business has advantages in the complex world of online marketing. The blog will contain hints on how to improve your websites, how to find money saving (free) bargains online, how to create attractive print designs for advertising, and much more.

Who am I? Well, if you came to this blog direct, you will not know that I am a web designer/developer, a print designer, photographer, and writer. I specialize in small business clients who need simple solutions for their needs. I use HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, and MySQL to build websites using Adobe CS4 packages. I am currently working on a Flash tutorial for a local community group.

I live and work in Orkney: a wonderfully peaceful place with lots of wonderful scenery and great people. My overheads are very low so I can offer very competitive prices compared to other designers based in more expensive parts of the UK.

Welcome to my blog!
