IT, Barmouth

Friday, November 2, 2018

Perhaps it's the cold grey stone that's used in the construction of the buildings, or it might be the surrounding hills, but Barmouth feels a little depressing, despite being a popular seaside town. The area feels a little unloved; although it's clear that the area isn't particularly on the economic map. Typical of most seaside towns, there are patches of poverty. Towards the beach things are a little better. There's some decent fish restaurants that are worth writing home for. Avoid the funfair unless you want the kids to feel really disappointed.

Discrimination by Postcode

The Redesign is Underway

The Redesign is Underway

Well, the current website was absolutely in dire need of a good redesign - from the ground up. So I set out to pull it all apart and get it up and running again to become the most comprehensive guide to every postcode in the UK. And it's been a long, tough job from start to finish - and quite possibly the biggest project I've ever undertaken.
