Freesat is a free satellite service which is a joint venture between BBC and ITV to provide free to air digital satellite services to the UK. With 140 digital TV and radio channels, there is a vast amount of different channels to cater for the whole family. With a High Definition Freesat box, you would be able to receive BBC, Channel 4 and ITV HD, for better quality pictures for No subscription cost.

Freesat recorders are the newest addition to the Freesat market. Each recorder has at least two tuners allowing you to record one program whilst watching another. As all the boxes are High definition, there is the ability to record and play back high definition programs, although you won't be able to record these programs to a DVD or VHS, and they will take up considerably more space on your recorder. The recorder has an in-built hard disk drive, which will not only allow to make preset recordings, but to also pause and rewind live television, enabling you to watch that section over and over again.

VSI-thinking have taken the opportunity to build this site to invest in some Search Engine Optimisation techniques. With a technology which allows URL re-writing we are hoping to once again be top of the search engines for "Freesat Recorder" with this site.

"It's not enabled universally, but that doesn't mean it should be shunned", says Bartek Szopka of software development consultancy Cognifide. "JavaScript is the focus of modern browsers, and even an awareness of those who disable JavaScript shouldn't lead you to avoid it – instead, build accessible websites that work with or without JavaScript."

Mini-myth 2: PayPal equals e-commerce

"PayPal is online payment, but clients looking to add ecommerce must work with an agency that can look at the overall shopping experience and find the right solution," says on-IDLE's Marc Peter. "There are more things to consider than the payment provider such as shopping basket integration and product display and future maintenance."

Mini-myth 3: Never use tables

This one's a real doozy. This widely circulated myth originally came because people were being told not to build table–based layouts and use CSS instead. Fair enough – but no one in their right mind said to stop using tables for creating, well, tables! Therefore, those of you trying to cobble together tables using dozens of divs and css rules, just stop.

Mini-myth 4: Flash is evil

"This comes from Flash overuse during the days of slow bandwidth. Flash is also used for annoying adverts, so when people picture Flash they see ads,"says Cognifide's Sebastian Zarzycki. "But Flash means you can deliver rich content to pretty much everyone, offering great perks over HTML. And without Flash, there'd be no YouTube – so how can Flash be evil?"

Mini-myth 5: You can start designing your website before content is available

Okay, it's true that you can present rough ideas, but content is integral to a website. Rush ahead of yourself and start creating a design before you've even got hold of any content and, at best, you'll create a nice design where the content is an afterthought. At worst, you'll create an unusable mess.

The paper submission system is a very simple and straight forward process. Members can login to submit a paper, whilst non-members have to register.. To submit a paper, the user enters the paper name, along with the section it should be submitted to along with a brief summary and information about additional authors. The user can also upload a draft copy of their paper as many times as they like, ensuring that the best version is always held on the server.

Administrators to the system can set up conferences and assign different sections to a conference. The sections can be password protected ensuring that only certain members can submit a paper to that section. Moderators can be assigned to each section so that they can monitor the papers within their section.

The moderators can view the papers submitted, download a copy of that specific paper and then decide if the paper should be accepted or rejected. If the paper is accepted, then the user can upload a final copy of their paper along with a presentation. Once these final items have been accepted by the moderators, then the paper can be marked as complete. There is also reporting functionality for PhUSE to monitor the paper submissions and gain information about the authors.

With this bespoke system, PhUSE can improve the service that they offer their members by keeping all related systems in their site. By giving everything a familiar look and feel, this will give the users a better experience.

To promote this event, Up and Under have asked VSI-thinking to implement their site in the latest version of the Content Management System. the content management system is a tried and tested formula for a growing number of our customers offering great flexibility for a website. The content management system will allow Up and Under to update their website up until the last minute before the show ensuring that information on their website is cuurent.

In addition to the content management system, Up and Under have decided to put in a blog, ensuring that they have great contact with their customers. The blog allows Up and Under to understand their customers better, as it offers a dimension of interactivity, as people can add comments to the blog posts. These posts are moderated by Up and Under to make sure that they remain relevant to the Canoe Show.

With the event quickly approaching, Up and Under will have their work cut out with the Content Management System. If you would like to view the website, click here.

Obviously VSI-thinking, as one of Cardiff's leading web site design companies, is also looking to asking Bryn Terfel if we can produce her web site. Where better for the songstress to get her web site designed than in the land of song.
