Web designers from across the globe flocked to Newcastle to pick up tonnes of top tips from internet boff Andy Clarke.

Internationally-renowned designer and author Andy, of Stuff and Nonsense, took a trip to toon to host a one-day workshop on advanced CSS styling last month.

And we were on hand to make sure the day was rounded off in style when CannyBill sponsored an evening socialising soiree.

A total of 27 companies, from as far afield as America, Canada and Hungary, attended the masterclass at the Copthorne Hotel to get to grips on pioneering CSS techniques, developed by Andy.

In the evening, the guests were treated to a bit of warm Geordie hospitality at the recently revamped Salsa Club, giving everyone the chance to unwind, exchange ideas and digest the day over a few beers and nachos, courtesy of us.

Swashbuckling is an activity normally carried out on the high seas.

But piracy is as rife as ever online.

Notice anything familiar about these screenshots?

You’d be forgiven for thinking someone had got their hands on our carefully crafted creations but unfortunately, that’s not the case.

After a quick trawl of the Internet, our research revealed there are plenty of websites out there imitating both our www.dpivision.com and www.cannybill.com.

It’s just a good job we’re all flattered by it here!

dpivision.com Ltd – Original

Pirate Site 1

Now this person really hasn’t bothered to change very much at all!

Pirate Site 2

And again, another company taking our design and just adding their logo but worst of all, doing a terrible job of it!

CannyBill – Original Site

Pirate Site 1

Well again not much effort has been put in to change our original design. They’ve changed the logo and some text but that’s about it!

Pirate Site 2

Well this is not a pirate site as such, just someone taking our CannyBill and Tradingeye sites and featuring them in their own portfolio!
