Where Did March Go?
Is it just me, or does March seem to have flown by in a blur for anyone else?
Since starting Hosting and Giving, and completing work on tenders for my day job, I don't feel much like I've stopped at all and March has gone by in…
Thanks Tom,
That's a definite but we still prefer number 4.
My vote is just for number 2 followed by no 3
but can I suggest a change of words ?
How about "The Giving Company that Hosts more" ?
I would also be mindful of the vertical height of any logo to minimise the amount of scrolling that goes on ... s…
ooops! Well that makes a little more sense as to why you have the tree/leafy bits :-) Still not changed my mind though as I'm not a leafy bits person + thinking it may be a bit cliche. Perhaps the professional designers here can shed more light :-)…
Maybe I need to elaborate more as Donna has looked at your comments and what I'd written and made a very valid point!
For those of you who may have not seen the original blog/comments about hosting and giving, here's a broad overview of the concept…
Hi Shaun
As No 1 Customer I'll add my two'penneth if I may!
I have asked around the office and everyone went for either top right or middle right (haven't numbered as not sure which way they go!) with the top left as third choice.
My particular f…
Hi Shaun
Here's my feedback:
1. The main HG motif is a little hard to discern and text sizes don't balance well - not my favourite.
2. The first 'h' of hosting with the leaf motif looks a bit weak and out of context - not my vote winner.
3. Clea…
Profile Information
- I was personally invited by:
- Karen Maskell
- My Pledge for Change: In the Spirit of Harmony with Our Planet
- I dedicate a portion of my time to raising the profile of and raising funds for a charity - PHASEworldwide - and I promote an extremely versatile and low energy consumption lighting product, called Light Tape.
In my "day job" I am operations manager of a kerbside recycling company. A job that really has opened my eyes to the waste that we produce and how we can work to reduce it and to be more environmentally friendly in our everyday lives.
I am currently working on developing an ethical web hosting service which will offer great value products to users and make generous donations to charity from its revenue. Many other charitable organisations donate from their profits, but we aim to be different and give 25% of revenue to good causes.
Our objective is 20% to charity - either our chosen charity or any registered charity that is nominated by users of our services - and 5% set aside for sustainable tree planting to offset our carbon emmisions.
- About Me:
- I'm 40, married and have 2 boys. One has moved to S. Ireland with his mum and her partner and baby brother. The other is 5, drives us mad and most of all makes me proud on an almost daily basis.
I love computers and motor sport and like to explore and share effective "paper free marketing".
If you don't have to print it, then don't!
We'll never replace paper but we can use less of it by thinkning a little harder before we cut down another tree.
When I have the time, I like to get behind the camera, too.
- Website:(if any)
- http://www.hostingandgiving.co.uk
- I wish to join:
- to promote my ethical business, to make my existing business more ethical, to make a difference in the lives of others, to become more environementally aware
- I feel I can contribute in the following ways:
- Loyalty, discounts and incentives, networking, supporting social and environmental conscious enterprise
- SEO:Key words. Seperate each word or phrase by a comma. Put phrases inside quotation marks "like this", and like this "promoting companies with a conscience"
- "paper free marketing", "electronic brochures", "lighttape solutions", "energy efficient lighting", "low energy lights", "web design", email marketing", fundraising, charity, "Phase worldwide", "digital photography", "portraits"

What's in a name?
With a host of ideas floating around our heads, we've settled on a "hosting idea", as we can readily deliver that service to customers, old and new.
But we want to make the name better suited to the offering and wondered what our pledging for change friends feel best suits the service we aim to provide.
As strong supporters of a local charity, my wife and I do many fundraising events and projects and we have settled on an idea to shift the emphasis of our web services towards hosting with the… Continue

HelpStopCruelty said… - I have found a government petition that hasn't had much promotion and it needs to get 200 signatures by 21/08/09 to be put forward to government officials, at the moment it has 121.
Please could you sign this petition to help end live animal skinning in China, it would be a shame for it not to reach its target.
The link is http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/ChineseCruelty/
Thank you very much!!

Who do you do fundraising for?

If you like what we do please consider making a token donation.
For every £1 donated we will Plant a Tree.
First there was Earth and then there was Man. And Man reaped everything he could from our Earth but failed to "give back". And then there came a time of reckoning. And Man began to "give back"... Everything started to Change..... The World is changing. People are changing. And business has changed... Every business you find in our ethical directory is a giving business....giving back to Our Planet by working in the Spirit of Harmony with Earth. ...Every member on Pledging for Change is here because they believe in Giving Back in the Spirit of Harmony with Our Planet
Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can. -- John Wesley, "Letters of John Wesley"
Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centres of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. -- Robert F. Kennedy
