About The Site

Lark, our mascot Larking About went through several incarnations before perching on it's current version.

Larking About.com is an ongoing project and I doubt it will ever be truely "finished." I'm always experimenting with new ideas and tricks, some more successful than others. It's constantly "molting" and growing and that's just the way I like it!

Purpose

Just like a little bird with a nest, I'm always adding shiney new things to the site. It's purpose, in a basic sense, is to provide a living portfolio for my web development. More accurately, it's a living project and gives me an excuse to tinker with and learn new things.

It also serves to provide information regarding freelance projects as well as a hub for clients to check up on their site's progress, submit approvals and feedback!

User Accounts

You can create a free LarkingAbout.com account at any time. Currently these accounts can be used to track and manage estimates, projects and sales agreements.

With an account you can make approvals or update information right here with the click of a button!

Lark Server

We have our own virtual dedicated server which allows us to create production environments for all of our clients! This is a great way to get the site up, running and approved before the client has to figure out their own hosting and domain situation!

This also means that Lark and I get to play database administrator and tinker with all sorts of 1337 server toys.

Compatibility

Larking About (like the rest of the web) looks and works best using Firefox, although I try to keep it as cross-browser compatible as possible.

It's been tested in IE 7 (and up), Safari, Chrome and, of course Firefox. Oh, and having javascript enabled doesn't hurt either!
