For my website I initially tried out a couple of the free WordPress themes, but nothing was quite hitting the mark. A colleague of mine had recently been to FOWD (the Future Of Web Design) in new York and had seen a presentation by Nick La, a Toronto based illustrator and web designer. Nick creates beautiful premium WordPress themes that can be bought for a very reasonable price from the Themify website. With your purchase you not only get a nice theme, but you also get support via the member area on the site. I must admit I’ve been really impressed with the help I’ve had and the speed with which my questions (how ever stupid!) have been answered. Cheers Nick, much appreciated.

The power of WordPress
Having finally made up my mind to create a website for myself I then chose and purchased the domain name markboston.co.uk …seeing as my name is Mark Boston I thought it was a good find! Big thanks to Andy Harris for hosting it for me and for guiding me in the direction of WordPress. At present part of my daily job is to create the graphic design / artwork for websites, but this was going to be my first foray into the html/php/css world of building a website. So with that in mind WordPress seemed a good starting point for me. Founded in 2003 it has grown to become the world’s favourite Content Management System (CMS) tool. Believe in the power of WordPress!
