Latest Work From WebjectS. In Autumn 2011
It’s been a while since this has been updated, sign of the times really, we are just so busy creating, frame-working, meeting new businesses around Cardiff and London, just had to take 5 mins to update our blog!
As we love our community, we offered to help a cause in our home town:
Gwyrddio Penarth Greening
GPG is a community group based in Penarth, South Wales. We aim to raise awareness of climate issues and look at ways that we can all live a more sustainable life.
Within this cause they have created SHOP IN PENARTH, a card scheme described here by the BBC
Webjects have helped produce the latest media to be used by retailers, which you can view below!
The reason we got involved with this cause is because we are based penarth, and we love our local community! we loved the idea! so we thought we’d offer our services to such a good cause!
Thanks to Judith Mancuso of ener-chi for getting us involved!
Since being on here last, we have now taken on a full time photographer, Emily Harvey, who has been contracted by Penarth view, Penarth’s local magazine as their photographer.
Some of our projects in development right now:
Spice Route, Red Dragon Centre, Cardiff bay. S[ice Route’s new website is nearly ready to go in the next week! We are very excited about this project as it includes a massive step for the Spice Royte as some great features have been created for the site:
-CMS (Fully controllable website)
-Online Booking System
- News System
-Newsletter System
-Design revamp
-Social Media Integration
- Brand new Photos
and so much more!
Dawn Aesthetic Clinic is our latest project just gone into development!
Now much else to say ;)
But things we have already completed is the logo and colour scheme! The scope was to keep things as simple and as clean as possible.
We have a few more projects in development but they are under lock and key at the moment!
Since being on here last we have had a few projects go live:
DJ Kayper had her website redesigned by Webjects Built on wordpress, using her original back-end, we completely gutted the original design in conjunction with Jesscia Hannan to create a brand new image, with new photos and image to go hand in hand with the re-vamp of all DJ Kayper’s social media. We think the design is really out there and love it! You should check it out, she is absolutely awesome! Not afraid to say best UK FEMALE DJ!
Judith Martin Jones Glass Designs went live back in September. Judith is a Penarth artistst, passionate about glass design. We created a bespoke design, brand image, and e-commerce framework(built on the Webjects e-commerce system). Photos were included within this package taken by the Webjects. photographer, Emily harvey

An amazing opportunity for us to stretch our e-commerce legs in the toy world with The Learning Partnership Wales
The project went live 2 weeks ago and TLP are already seeing result from Webjects powerful framework!
We loved designing and building this project, it was a great opportunity for Webjects to again prove to outsiders that we can design and build e-commerce websites for all industries. Photos were also included in the package, which just look amazing! Great job to Emily Harvey, the Webjects photographer.
CMS Security
Again and again, the simplest of security is being looked over by developers and designers in the expanding world of the CMs
The simplest and first security measure I believe one can take when implementing a new CMS is changing the root to their back-end.
So many open source CMS come with standard back-end logins such as:
http://www.mydomain.co.uk/admin
http://www.mydomain.co.uk/administrator
http://www.mydomain.co.uk/admin/login.php
Just to name some examples.
Some enforce you to change the admin root, which I believe should be implemented on all.
I see it now on an everyday basis, now I know what you’re thinking, I’ve got a password setup, encrypted and stored in my database, but most of the time we use passwords which are so easily identifiable by hacker, we might as well not have password.
If your running an Apache server a .htaccess could be used as an extra level of security, as this would mean a lot more hassle for the hacker, and I have seen it done on some very corporate websites.
Having spent last year working my way through ISO 27001, security has become a massive concern for me, all clients.
As we are based in Cardiff I suggest you view:

For help in any matters of e-security
Also i advice you rad this article as it sums up very quickly the small changes that can improve CMS security.
