It is with extreme pride that I can finally announce the launch of our all new wordpress premium theme shop and theme club – Woothemes. After months of careful planning, pixel pushing, browser testing and copywriting we are finally happy with what we have created and are ready to go public with it.

Together with my awesome team mates – the South African wordpress rockstar – Adii, the Norwegian fishermanMagnus Jepson, and the newly aquired Englishman – designer and speaker – Elliot Jay Stocks we should be a force to be reckoned with within the WordPress theme space.

Regator steals Afrigator’s brand

Well they say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, but when someone quite blatantly steals not only your design, but your idea it can be a little more insulting.

RegatorRegator, a new blog aggregator, has received quite some media attention today with articles in Read Write Web, Techcrunch and on Mashable.

None of the articles posted seem to mention its uncanny resemblance to our Afrigator.com. Perhaps because our service was developed and is focussed on deepest, darkest Africa they thought they could get away with it, without anyone noticing?

Evita Bezuidenhout’s Zoopy Page

One of the more fun projects I have completed in the past couple months was a Zoopy profile page for South Africa’s much loved comedian Evita Bezuidenhout.

Zoopy is South Africa’s first and foremost video and photo sharing social network. I’ve always been a fan of their neat and usable design so when Jason, at Zoopy’s headquarters, asked me to take on one of their projects I jumped at the opportunity.

Evita requested her Zoopy profile page portray her Afrikaans heritage all the while beaming her support for the new South Africa and it’s bright future. Another way to put it: Boere Baroque – a fashionable but old school Tannie.

The end result was a collage of Evita’s memorabilia – including her photos, a string of pearls, a kruger rand and even her passport, sitting pretty on a pink wallpaper, with dashes of Biggie Best Kitsch throughout the content layout.

Make sure you visit Evita’s Zoopy profile page to view some of her great comedy skits, sexy photos, blog posts and even a sneak peak at her new perfume – Jeau Mour.

Dominion TheatreOne of the reasons, amongst the many, I have been so quiet the last few weeks has been one of the projects I have been working on for Hillsong London.

Hillsong is the church I belong to in London. It’s services take place at the world reknown Dominion Theatre in Tottenham Court Road, Central London. The Dominion Theatre is also home to the show “We Will Rock You”. Going to a Hillsong service is like going to a theatre show every week, 2000 people packing out each service, 3 services a day, awesome live music, international guest speakers, flashing lights, smoke machines and a gigantic cinema screen. Of course at the heart of it, it’s much more than the glitz and glamour though. (more…)
