Good evening folks. I am now full of pizza and catching up on some rather overdue updating. My 9-5 work is tiring.
I'm taking a little time here to blow my own trumpet (stop giggling at the back there!) and want to mention my own indie company, www.indieproofing.co.uk. I set this up at the beginning of the year and have really not been promoting it as hard as I should be. So what is it?
Basically, as a Bytten reviewer I have encountered a lot of games where the quality of English is... variable. This is largely due to the number of indie developers for whom English is a second language - I know full well how complex and illogical English can be! Since poor text can adversely affect your sales pitch - be that in the demo, the documentation or especially the website - I offer a proofreading service for any or all of these. Since professional proofreaders usually cost an absolute fortune and indie developers cannot afford their outrageous prices, I offer an affordable service targeted at those developers.
I have recently relaunched the site as, while my spelling/grammer are excellent, my webdesign skills are a bit rubbish. Helpful people, reeling from the blinding purple of my site (it looked blue on my laptop, honest!) suggested improvements and tried to teach me CSS. As a result I now have nifty buttons that light up when you hover over them. I like those. The website is less painful to look at and best of all, I can now accept payments for work through ShareIt as well as Paypal.
See http://www.indieproofing.co.uk for details of my services, prices and contact details.
