There is some easy stuff out their for techy types – I’ve set up wordpress blogs for people in an hour to two as well (it’s making them look nice that takes time).

Of course as my mate Gavin always tells me – “you make someone a website and it’s great, until they think they can alter things outside the CMS – then you keep having to go back and fix it”.

The love that only a web designer mate can provide…
