I have been tapping away at my keyboard for the past month or two laying the foundations for my new project. I am not going to give too much away right now but the idea came about from an earlier blog post where I criticised the lack of online community for creatives in Ireland. 

Really excellent collection of tools and resources for web developers! Another great article from Smashing Magazine!

It is a frustrating time to be an Irish Web designer. Twitter and technology blogs keep us updated daily on all the exciting action happening across the pond. Everyday in the US new web startups are launched, innovative mobile applications are built, web creatives are meeting up and attending talks/hackathons and millions and millions of dollars are pumped into small companies with big ideas.

"As creatives, we usually have no shortage of good ideas. There are times, however, when inspiration and motivation elude us. Looming deadlines, fussy clients, uninteresting projects, or feelings of fatigue which suggest the onset of burnout: all of these can work to effectively extinguish our creative fire. When we find ourselves in these situations, we need methods to help reignite our creative spark and rekindle the creative flame that burns within us."

Good article, worth a read...

There are some great quality web design freebies out there! Here is a couple of my favourites. Great for inspiration and interesting to see how other designers work.
