    Sketch it. Test it. Implement it. Sounds simple and obvious doesn’t it, but paper prototyping is often overlooked when creating a website. How does prototyping work? Using paper sketches of your website interface you can quickly get feedback from users on what works, what doesn’t, what is instinctive and then take this information and implement it…

        After receiving my first donations for my outrageously good-looking “Movember” mustache, I was pleasantly surprised with an email inviting me to have a free Grill’d burger, every day for thirteen days.

      Judging by the picture on the front of my pre-packaged roast meal, I was expecting to find something inside that George Calombaris would be proud of. Instead, I peeled back the wrapping to find something that resembled the bog of eternal stench (well, at least in appearance, perhaps not in scent). The deception involved…
