Finally I have updated from my old website to house a collection of my work and act as my primary business presence as well as host my blog and give clients and friends something a little more tangible than a mere holding page to contact me through.

In 2004 it wasn’t uncommon to have static websites for many businesses and although content management systems have become ubiquitous nowadays I find myself arguing against their over-use on a regular basis. My argument is that although acceptable open source or free solutions now exist, this does not mean that they are the best option for all clients. This is a breakdown of some of the alternative options available and why they may be the best choice for many users.
