Why we LOVE WordPress
Selecting a CMS In the early days of Cookie Web, we wanted to select a CMS (Content Management System) that would fit with the Cookie ethos – easy to use (especially for clients), great for SEO, an easy platform to develop with, and a pretty interface – well, we have to look at it every…

Icon Fonts vs SVGs

In the early days of the internet – maybe 10 – 15 years ago the “Build it and they will come” adage might have rung true for a little while but not so anymore. These days you can’t just make a website, sit back and expect your page visits to miraculously multiply and orders to…
