Capital Edge will have a small stand in the Alresford Chamber of Commerce tent at the Alresford Show this saturday (4th Sept, 2010) where you can come and ask them about website design and maybe win a bottle...

We will also be collecting details for a draw to win a bottle of something nice so, if you're in the area, the show is definitely worth a visit. It'd be great to see you at the show.

Opinion on whether right hand navigation (where the menu bar is) on a website is very different across the industry. Some say good, some say bad. We've been involved in a discussion regarding this within the Interactive Design Association recently and thought it may be useful to share some of the thoughts here. Traditionally, navigation has always been across the top of the page or on the left hand side. Now, with wider screens and more interactive websites, there is the opportunity to experiment away from the norm. But, people are used to having the navigation on the left aren't they? So why try and change it?

One of the reasons the discussion came to light was due to a designer creating a website with navigation on the right. He'd done some testing with a group and had found that having the navigation on the right hand side of the page made very little difference to how his sample was able to use the page. He was therefore quite happy to keep the navigation on the right but, asked peoples opinion to see if this was unusual. There was some interesting feedback.

We are going to be creating a new website for a Hampshire based charity with some basic content management and a focus on usability.

Andover Neighbourcare is an charity based in Andover, Hampshire, which helps the vulnerable and needy in their local area. There have just opened a new service which they have called "Silver Surfers".
