Email: info@thedmlab.comWe are all human after all. We’re not perfect. When we make a mistake we will always rectify it whether it is big or small, nobody likes making mistakes – but nobody is perfect. Email newsletters are our worst nightmare for not identifying errors at the draft stage, sending it out to our contacts list […]
As today is Techno Day, we thought it would be a good opportunity to showcase some of our music event poster designs we’ve done before now for techno events. Let us know what you think!
The festive season is upon us again! What better way than to send everyone on your mailing list a Christmas e-card?! Wishing them well over the festive period and thanking them for they loyal custom? This might seem obvious but many businesses don’t know what to do or how to do it. It’s not overly […]
It’s that time of year again – Small Business Saturday! We are getting involved today and we are excited about what interest we will generate for ourselves as well as supporting other small businesses. Anyone that runs a business, of any size really, knows the day to day struggles it entails. As much as we […]
Our MD Chris (@McTip_IT) & Mason! #SmallBizSelfieHERE @SmallBizSatUK *not edited – honestly!
Since it’s International Ninja Day, Mason has dressed up as one!
As a small business, it’s easy to think you are in control of everything. There can’t be that much to do can there?! Yes, yes there is a lot to do! The day to day running of the business is one thing, but then managing the workload is another. We were pretty organised, but since […]
We have a number of inquiries here at the Lab about designing and developing an online shop for people. A majority of these are great people with a decent idea – but e-commerce sites are on another level to stand-alone websites. There is far more development involved with products and then payment gateway integration. These […]
Firstly, it’s all we’ve ever known! Until you start your own business, run your own business and generate an income for yourself, you will never know hard work. It’s easy to do a job you hate as you don’t have to worry about making the money, you get paid by someone who worries about that. […]
We know this isn’t technically what #CyberMonday is all about but…Well…Why the heck not!
It’s the 1st of December, Christmas is coming round fast! Today is also ‘Eat A Red Apple Day’. Here’s some cool facts about apples and why they should be a BIG part of your everyday diet! Apples contain antioxidant polyphenols, which help to prevent your body from storing fat Apples have been found to produce […]
It’s nearly here! Christmas we’re talking about! Family, friends, food and loads of other festivities! We’re so looking forward to shutting down and switching off for a week or two, forget about all the stresses of running a business like ours. We have everything planned out, measures in place to tick the business over even […]
You may or may not know that we started out as McTip IT. That name came about as parts of each founders’ name. Since one is no longer with us and we are no longer an IT solutions company. We have been working on a rebrand for about 3 years. Nothing really stuck. We knew […]
First things first – a responsive website is one that ‘responds’ to the size of the device it is being viewed on. With the increasing popularity of mobile phones and tablets, a responsive website could make or break a potential sale. Why you ask? Have you been on a website you are familiar with on […]
We are heavily in to diet and training, so we don’t use the ‘c’ word that often as a result. The ‘c’ word being ‘cake’ of course! Our friend Craig from Ruled.Me as this amazing (and quick) take on cakes while staying within the boundaries of our strict diet. It’s tried and tested so feel […]
We pride ourselves on our work done and the clients we work with / have worked with. These range from small to medium enterprises. Whatever their size we achieve results. Initially, and sensibly, we started out working with very small companies, and in the 5 years we have been trading, have developed our skills enough […]
We have been fascinated by the recent Rosetta spacecraft probe comet landing. A truly impressive feat. We have also been intrigued by the man in charge of the Rosetta mission Dr. Matt Taylor. Astrophysics means geeks, right? Well check out Matt Taylor. Super intelligent and super cool. Why? He’s got loads of tattoos! We are […]
There are a lot of decent films out at the moment. How many of you have heard of Open Grave? Starring Sharlto Copley (Murdock – A-Team / Wikus – District 9) this has gone really under the radar in our opinion. We won’t give away the plot but it starts with him waking up in […]
How To Solve The Biggest Problems With Creative Design Creative design has all sorts of applications, remember the saying, ‘a picture paints a thousand words’? Well, surely this is the best solution to solve a big problem. Do you agree? There is graphic design to suit any circumstance, occasion or even message. So if you […]
We’ve all had them, but what are the signs that someone is unhappy with how the project is developing? We never assume what we are doing is what the client wants / expects, we involve them every step of the way. Granted, we may not in some cases get it right first time round, but […]
The occult, and all its mysteries has always been something of interest to us here at the Lab. No, we’re not Satanists or anything weird like that, but the fact that there’s always 2 sides to a coin, certain things have one meaning, but then this again has further interpretations, like in Medieval times magnetism […]
Hope you’ve all had a good weekend? Did you do anything interesting? We kicked off our weekend with a trip to Kingsholm – home of the cherry and whites Gloucester Rugby with a huge clash against Harlequins! It was an evening kick off under the Friday night lights and there was live coverage on BT […]
Went to see Ouija, as a fan of this genre, it didn’t disappoint. Pretty good, some jumpy / creepy bits and a decent story to go with it. Always been spooked by Ouija boards, we’ve never experimented (seen too many movies like this to know better!). A girl hangs herself after playing with a Ouija […]
We are all for clean eating, so how about we share our spicy guacamole recipe as it’s Spicy Guacamole Day?! Ingredients: 1 avocado 1 tomato 1 chili pepper ½ an onion 2 tbsp lemon juice A pinch of salt Method: Roughly chop up the avocado, onion, tomato and chili, add the lemon juice and […]
In February 2013, we decided to not consume sugar any longer. We have an interest in training, fitness, nutrition and supplementation, and after careful consideration and research we decided to try out the ketogenic diet. It was a bold step and not an easy one either. Basically the diet is strict, no sugar, very limited […]
