The blog has been quiet recently, and the main reason is because I’ve been working hard on a brand new project called PlanCrunch. PlanCrunch helps you compare mobile phone plans against hundreds of others, in order to find the best value plan for you. I started developing it after trying to plod through all the various plans, their options, fees, and fine print in order to find a new personal mobile plan. What a nightmare. The goal of PlanCrunch is to present the visitor with all the options in an easy-to-use manner, and without any bias, not simply recommending affiliated providers or whatnot.

PlanCrunch first asks you your current mobile provider & plan, then calculates for you all the plans that are better value, for the same or lesser cost.

The service is still in development, but it’s online now to gather feedback from users. A proper press release and launch is on the cards soon, but in the meantime please try it out and let me know your thoughts. Oh and yes, a section for viewing and comparing mobile phones is also coming!

I recently had the pleasure of developing a new website for Toowoomba photographer Amanda Newman. She does truly excellent work, and since she started her photography business she has been booked out for months in advance.

She provided the following testimonial:

Being a brand new business, having a website of my own was at the very top of my list of ways to get my name out there and show my work to possible clients. I researched for a few months on different Website Developers and just wasn’t happy with the ones I was finding until I came across Andrew. Not many other developers give you the option of having a lot more control of your website, and this is very important to me. Andrew was really wonderful and easy to work with in building my website. He was able to explain things to me so I could easily understand it all and I get many compliments from clients, and other professionals about the simplicity and fun, fresh look of my website. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone thinking of using him, it will honestly be one of the best business decisions you will make. ~ Amanda Newman
