As with everything, there are good points and bad points to working from home. Except for the fact that working from home has many more good points than bad! It allows for a certain amount of flexibility, although that’s not to say you spend your day watching movies and pretending to work. You could, but you’d never get anything done, …
Skye Web Design
In 2010 our sole focus as a business was to write, illustrate and shoot paper craft explainer videos. We had no intention to get involved with the design and building of websites. But as with all businesses things change. The more explainers we created the more we were asked if we did web design also. So in 2011 we decided …

I have been working with Marc and Ailsa officially for 8 months now and in turn worked with many clients with a massive range of different businesses. It sounds like a cliche, but every day really is different and quite often I …
Outsourcing Explainer Videos
A short rant…….. We get at least one email via our website per fortnight asking us if we can white label our explainer videos. This is fine.

Explainer Videos – The Hard Sell?
