The mandatory introductory fluff
introducing me
I'm Clinton Montague, the evil genius hiding behind the scenes of slightlymore (and a web developer who is lucky enough to be based in Oxford).

I'm not a designer, I'm a PHP developer so I make websites work as well as being a putter together-er.

Don't worry - unlike a lot of web geeks, I like people, not computers, so I won't bore you with psuedo scientific technobabble and geek speak. read more

Announcement: New section on the site
If you’ve been keeping up with the posts on slightlymore, you might have guessed that there was a new section appearing on the site. It has now been born, and is called light relief.

8 Tips for Maintaining a User Friendly Site in One Hour a Month
I’m sure it’s happened to you. It’s always happening to me. How easy is it to build ‘My awesome website’ which is beautifully SEO’d, completely accessible to everyone and everything only to find that after launch, it quickly turns into ‘My messy website 3.0′. It could be broken links or images, spelling mistakes or pages which somehow magically stop working. The UX Booth has written a brilliant article with suggestions as to what to check for and why it’s important. And hey, an hour a month isn’t that much time, is it.
