Documentation can make or break a software project. Discuss…

What is it about big companies and the way they treat their customers? It seems that Britain’s top three ISP’s have decided to sell on private data about their customer’s browsing habits to an spyware advertising company called Phorm. That data will then be used to deliver targeted advertising. This is not an opt-in service, and will probably be buried in the small print in a change to their customer’s terms and conditions. Nice!

We’ve just put a new site together for Speedmaster Conference Centre. Most of the content won’t be changing much, the usual about us and what we do pages that make up a brochure site, but there will be a news and events feed.

Wordpress is perfect for this kind of thing and so we’ve knocked together a template based on a rather attractive design by Ten and a Half. Now I’m installing various plugins to make the whole thing a little bit more search engine friendly and setting up Google Webmaster Tools.

OK fine, you’re thinking, so why the post. Well, what’s nice about this project is that after we have sorted out the technical details and ironed out the kinks, we can get loads of links and traffic by posting pictures of what people will be spilling their canapes over when the conference centre opens. Why do people love pictures of cars?
