Computers are right at the core of many businesses (not least our own), and yet you'd be surprised at how many of those businesses have absolutely no backups or disaster recovery plans in place. From hardware failure and computer viruses to flooding and human error, there are any number of dangers that could wipe out all of your information in the blink of an eye - you never know what could happen tomorrow!

Fortunately, Alphabyte IT can help you to safeguard against all of these hazards and more. They've helped a huge variety of businesses to organise their IT infrastructure and protect themselves from data loss, and with the brand new website that we've just finished building for them, they're ready to help many hundreds more!

The new site (alphabyte.it) is completely responsive, and while we obviously aren't entirely objective, we think it looks absolutely great. The simple design makes it easy to find the service you need, and trust us, data backup is just one of many services that Alphabyte can provide. They also offer IT evaluations, project management assistance, copy and printing advice, and much more besides.

So if you haven't been taking proper care of your company's IT systems, go and take a look at the new Alphabyte website. They may end up saving your business!

If you enjoy the odd spot of baking on the weekend, we've got fantastic news for you: BritishBakeware.co.uk (our latest project) is now up and running! British Bakeware is a brand new enterprise that was started by a team of baking fanatics - the company sells baking trays, cake tins, and all kinds of other essential kitchenware. In short, it's a one-stop shop for bakers all over the UK!

This is an ecommerce website and so, as usual, we've made sure that the buying process is slick, functional, and as easy as can be. Products are divided into several different categories ('Bread Baking', 'Grill Pans', etc.), and from there, it's a straightforward shopping basket system that allows users to restock their kitchen in moments!

One very nice feature of this website is the blog. We styled it to look like one of your mum's recipe books (very in-keeping with the website's vintage theme), and we gave it a highly readable layout that makes it exceptionally easy to whip up your next masterpiece. The recipes are linked to 'Products You May Find Helpful' - for example, the pizza recipe links to a pizza tray - and those products contain links to the relevant recipes, too. It's a great idea, and we're very pleased with how it all comes together!
