We're full-time nerds at Sizzle, so it's essential that we're able to keep up-to-date on the latest goings-on in the exciting world of geekdom (when we're not busy being Manchester's best web designers, of course). And what better way to do so than via the medium of blogs? This post is going to serve as [...]

Here at Sizzle, we're focused solely on providing quality web design services to small businesses in Manchester. And that's exactly what we did for Read Associates. A true Mancunian crew (well Greater Manchester technically), the Salford-based team specialises in office partitioning and refurbishments, giving small businesses the kind of overhauls which bring their day-to-day work [...]

We're back in the office here at Sizzle after a long, hard Easter spent basking in Manchester's glorious sunshine and catching up on our beauty sleep.

One that stood out as a forerunner and possible osCommerce/Zen Cart competitor was the very new, very shiny, and very impressive Magento. Magento is [...]

Here at Sizzle, we love new web technologies, and we're particularly fond of the increasing trend towards code standardisation and the adoption of lean xHTML and CSS. Unfortunately, the ability for the Internet to develop at full pace is limited by the reluctance of the general public to adopt newer, better browsers. Much as we'd [...]

We aim for greatness at Sizzle. We realise that our pay monthly websites have to not only appeal to humans, but to search engines too. So when we build a site we constantly grade and re-evaluate aspects of it in order to provide the best possible business advantage to our clients. That's why we love [...]

Here on the Sizzle website, our web design portfolio page has always been a bit lacking.
