NY on a budget May 9, 13, 4:21 a.m.

Looking for suggestions of nice places in NY to stay for a week or two and figured that some New Yorkers on QBN might be able to recommend some places that might not be marketed well over in this side of the pond that i'd never know about.

Looking for nice hotels with class and character at reasonable prices. Not looking for a budget place, but not looking for way overpriced. We want comfort and services (pool would be nice as its late summer the visit) but after all its only a place to sleep at nights as there's plenty to see and do in the big apple.

Studio Monitors Apr 16, 13, 8:56 a.m.

A thread for the beatmakers ...

Looking for suggestions for reasonably priced nearfield studio monitors. These will be used in a small to medium sized room. Want decent bass response and usually playing out dance and hip hop.

I'd imagine 6-8 in.

I know you get what you pay for but my budget will be around the £300-400 market.
Anything will be better than Sony Hifi / Various Headphones. Although they do offer certain reference and have done me good for years but I think it's time I got something better so I can get a much more mastered final sound.

HUGS Aug 2, 12, 9:13 a.m.

Paypal Baskets Jul 30, 12, 8:30 a.m.

A client is looking to use Paypal as a payment method on their website and due to budget don't have enough for us to integrate the whole basket and payment side of things on their site so we're going to use paypal's basket.

Been looking for good examples of this but most folk these days just use instant-shops from the likes of shopify or if it's small craft businesses then etsy.

Anyone seen any good examples of paypal solutions still existing?

audience filters Jul 25, 12, 8:40 a.m.

Any links for good examples of audience filters on website homepages.

e.g A prompt to ask "are you audience group A / B / C" then the website tailors what you see on the site for you.

Online Shop Jul 4, 12, 3:06 a.m.

Any suggestions of good alternatives to Magento for a small business to easily set up a shop online.

A friend has a small business website and would like to either integrate or link to a skinned online shop.

He wont have money to pay me to do it and will probably want to do it himself, so the least techy solution possible.

Business is UK based.
