I hate internet explorer. So many things I design here at eleven2 have to be tweaked because they don’t work correctly in Internet Explorer! I recently upgraded my mobile phone from a HTC Android to a HTC Windows Phone, and even the Internet Explorer in the mobile device sucks! I was reading an article on...

With Mac OS X Lion’s release into the wild set for this summer, we have a few screenshots of Apples brand new operating system. This looks incredible! I thought when Leopard came out a few years back that they couldn’t improve that any further, but here we are again with yet another breathtaking operating system. A Look...

Being the Creative Director here at eleven2, I have to make sure I’m fully up to date on all the latest web trends, and this can often mean spending a bit of time reading through popular web design blogs such as sixrevisions.com and webdesignerdepot.com. Also, looking at CSS web galleries can be good for web...

Here at eleven2 we love the ipad, heck we love everything apple makes (Minus the Apple TV). So you can imagine our excitement to hear about the latest apple event happening tomorrow! Hopefully with the absence of Steve Jobs while he is wrapping himself in seaweed and doing yoga, apple will be able to crank out an impressive new...

When designing the eleven2 forum, I came across a huge problem. Our whole header runs on jQuery to control the login bar that drops down on click, then phone number hover over effect and of course our whole dropdown navigation menu. And the thing is, our forums run on Invision Power Board, which runs the...

Just a quick update here, the cloud servers page has been slightly updated, as I continue to do more custom icon design on the product pages. Today, I’m working on some ideas for the shared product page. Even though we launched the new website on Jan 3rd this year (not even 2 months ago), we...

Valentines Day is coming up, and I keep getting emails from Apple, as per usual. As a designer I’ve noticed how they use their products to sell for certain events and times of the year. I love how their email design is so minimal in terms of design, but it works too well. What do you think?...

Being the Creative Director at eleven2 means I’m always rambling around the web looking at all sorta of wired and wonderful design stuff. Heres something I came across this morning, which caught my eye, and its actually so true. This was designed by Colin Harman and you can buy this in a large poster from his online...

Designing the new eleven2 website has taught me alot about jQuery, from which used to be a scary new age code that all the “cool web designers” knew. With the new eleven2 design, we have implemented alot of jQuery, and one absolutly amazing plugin I would like to share with you is the most simple...

This has been in the works for the last few weeks. Seeing as we offer the choice of location with all our shared web hosting packages, we thought it would be an awesome idea if we offered this with all of our reseller web hosting packages as well. Instead of the dropdown menu that we use on...
