Into The Spider's Web; Part 2.

Early Saturday morning, the bell above Mrs. Fenshi’s door chimed to announce the arrival of a customer. “Morning Mrs. Fenshi.”

“Good morning Syntax, an all day ticket?” She asked with a smile, noticing his laptop bag seems fuller than usual. He was planning to spend the whole day working on something important, and judging by the slightly flushed expression, she knew he hadn’t eaten breakfast yet.

“And a pot of mild tea please,” he nodded.

“Go on in and get settled dear, I’ll have Lin bring you the tea.” The cat demoness smiled, waving him towards the closed room where the cats were.

“Thank you.” Syntax smiled and headed in.

A few minutes later, Lin entered with a tray, carrying the requested pot of tea and a plate of toasted sandwiches, shaped like cat faces, to find Princess, the tripod ginger cat sitting on Syntax’s table, enjoying head scratches as Syntax checked his emails.

“Mrs. Fenshi insisted you needed food as well as tea, and I’m not about to argue with her.” Lin said when Syntax blinked at the added food order.

“Thank her for me?” Syntax asked and offered her a small disk. “The upgrades and virus software you asked for.”

“Thank you. And if you have time tonight, we need to speak again.” She smiled and tucked the disk into her pocket for later.

“Not tonight.” Syntax said, shaking his head. “I’m visiting Nana, tomorrow is my free day.”

“Tomorrow then. Enjoy your day with the cats.” Lin smiled.

“I will,” Syntax nodded with a smile as the horn of the tuk-tuk sounded outside as MK drove by, due to it being market week, it was likely the boy had no deliveries for the day, as the streets would be blocked off for market stalls until the evening.

The morning went by slowly, spent designing a layout and working on a few smaller project designs for his personal use, all while taking breaks to pet and fuss over the cats and kittens that came over and demanded his attention, which he happily gave. By the afternoon, Lin had joined him with her own laptop and was busy working away while brother brothers spent their lunch break with the cats and kittens, enjoying the chance to cuddle and play with the cats before getting back to work.

With his work done, Syntax set his laptop and tablet aside to instead focus on the cats, gently petting each one and playing with the toys with them while enjoying a few snacks and good tea for the rest of the day, though he did notice that while he seemed relaxed and calm, Lin had become tense and frustrated.

“Everything ok, Lin?” he asked.

“It will be, when I finally figure out how to find this damned part for a client.” Lin said, “Why are computer motherboard parts so hard to find?”

“Because they are all very different and never manufactured to spec unless you get them on commission.” Syntax said, “What are you after, I might be able to help?”

Lin pushed him a yellow post-it note with the information details and he looked at it for a moment. It was clear whoever this client was wanted the very best and long lasting system, but that meant that they’d need to buy parts from all across China for the best of the best equipment. “Hm, have you tried looking at the Northern Market?” 

“Does the north do shipments on fast track?” Lin asked and Syntax thought for a moment.

“Last order I put in took twenty nine days to deliver. Regular shipments can be anywhere from four to six months.” He said. “But that was on a computer harddrive, not motherboard parts.” He admitted.

“That fast?” Lin asked. “The fastest I find is forty days with Northern Parts and services and it costs a miniature fortune.”

“Never get anything through them, Lin. They’re a con wrapped up in a corporate packaging with pretty bows.” Syntax said as he rebooted his laptop and typed in a few things before showing her the site he used for his parts.

“Northern Tech, Systems and Parts?” Lin asked, looking at the site and reading their profile.

“Best place in all the North to buy anything related to computers, systems, technology and the like. All of my stuff has at least one replacement part from them.” Syntax nodded, “I think the only thing I have that doesn’t have their parts in it is my phone, because it’s the only thing not compatible with their tech.”

“Why can’t I find them when I search for them?” Lin asked.

“What browser are you using?” He questioned.

“Megacity Pro Search.” Lin answered. The same browser Syntax and most of the city used simply because it was world wide.

“Go into the settings and make sure the regional lock and switch the shopping regions to internasional.” Syntax said. “The whole browser got a system wide refresh last week, so some settings are back to default.”

Lin clicked a few things and retyped her search, then smiled. “Have I mentioned lately that you are one of my favourite people?”

“Only everytime your brothers break stuff.” Syntax chuckled. “Speaking of your brothers, are they allowed their stuff back?”

“If they say please.” Lin nodded.

“Got it.” He nodded and went back to playing with the cats, both of them unaware that their interaction had been witnessed by someone else, through the eyes of a small drone hidden away in the upper most corner of the ceiling.

“He doesn’t look like much.” Huntsman said, watching the live feed from the drone.

“Neither does the Monkie Boy at first glance.” Goliath remarked, “he looks small and easy to beat, yet he took down the Bull prince and Demon Bull King by himself.”

Huntsman gave a huff but said nothing more on the matter, instead focusing on what Lin was doing. Their Queen had searched the few precious scrolls and books they’d managed to salvage from the ruins of their home, and found the means to harvest the energy from other demons to infuse with their drones, making them bigger, stronger and able to carry her venom rather than Huntsman or Goliath’s.

It would take a lot of work, and a lot of careful study to manage what they needed, but if they could master that delicate balance of magic and technology, the Spider Clan could rise up and remind the world they were still a force to be reckoned with and finally make the demands to have their home’s ruination looked into properly.

But that would come later, right now they needed to make sure they had the means to take those steps and the best way to do that was to make sure that Lin was making good on her task. And if that meant keeping an eye on her through a spy drone, well, Lin could forgive them their caution. She’d done well so far, finding the very best parts and equipment for them and using Yin and Jin to run messages between herself at them throughout the night and most of the morning, but for the last six hours, she’d been stuck trying to find the motherboard parts. 

It seemed that this man was something of a techy himself, both from what they’d seen from the drone’s live feed and had given Lin a means to locate the parts she needed sooner. A point in his favour, along with the fact that the felines seemed to like him and had no issues climbing on and over the man as if he were just another part of the furniture.

“Syntax?”

“Yes Mrs. Fenshi?”

“I’m sorry to bother you dear, but one of the cat’s knocked it over.” 

They watched as the feline demoness brought over a card reader device from her countertop, it looked undamaged, but the screen was unfocused and warped. Syntax looked at it, hooking it up to his laptop with a spare cable and checking something for a few minutes.

“Well, good news is it’s fixable, bad news is, it’ll take about a half an hour to fix. Can you manage without it for about that long?” The man asked.

“I can, but are you sure you can fix it?” The demoness asked.

Syntax nodded. “It's the older model, so it’s an easy fix. I’ll just need an order of chunky wedges and a toasted kitty burger afterwards.” He said, “And if you can, try and keep anyone from bothering me for that time?”

“Of course dear. Just make sure you don’t overdo it.” the cat demoness pleaded.

“I won’t.” Syntax nodded. “Lin?”

“I’m busy working, I have no idea what you are doing.” Lin said. “We’ll talk about business when we talk tomorrow.”

“Thank you.” Syntax bid and adjusted his laptop so it looked like he was working on it rather than the card reader, smiling as one of the cats jumped up and loafed on the edge of the table, blocking any view of his hands should anyone come inside.

The drone’s placement allowed them to see what was happening, and what they saw shocked them. 

The man pulled out two large power banks from his bag and set them in his lap, then, with a deep breath to focus himself, he put his hands over the device for a moment before a greenish seal formed under the device, casting a strange glow over his fingers as he set to work.

“Magic?” Goliath asked.

“Technological Magic.” Huntsman corrected, watching the human slowly pull the device apart and seamlessly set to work not using his hands and tools, but magic, a type that was very rare outside of the northern region, so rare in fact it was considered a specialty.

Slowly, using his fingers like tools, Syntax pushed and pulled the tiny device’s insides apart, gradually rebuilding it while carefully replacing the damaged parts with magic replacements, blending the elements to form the needed intricate parts and carefully weaving modern technology with ancient magic as if it were a natural mixture. It was a slow process, it had to be, if the man rushed this and made even the smallest mistake, it could backfire horribly, but it seemed that Syntax was well trained in his magic and well versed in this method of repairing things, slowly taking time to check and recheck his work until he was sure of its success before, after twenty seven minutes, he let the device weave itself back together and sagged a little in his seat.

The cat that was loafed beside him meowed and reached out with a paw, bapping his nose.

“I’m alright, I’m alright, you little fluff ball.” Syntax assured, reaching up to pet the cat.

“Need me to get that order for you?” Lin asked him.

“Nah, just… need a minute.” He assured her with a soft huff.

If this was the man Lin was planning to ask help on their behalf, not only would it be a huge help in their technological needs, but also mean that the need to order so many parts would be vastly reduced. They continued to watch the scene, watching as Mrs. Fenshi brought in the requested order, and how after eating Syntax seemed to be back to his ‘normal’ self from what they’d seen before of him playing with the cats and working on his own personal projects.

Until his watch gave a sharp ping sound and he packed up his laptop and tablet, fussed the cats one last time before leaving the Cat Cafe wave a wave to Mrs. Fenshi as he went.

“Should we follow him?” Goliath asked.

“No. Not until we know if he is the one Lin is planning to ask to help us. But we will be telling Our Queen about him regardless.” Huntsman assured. Someone with this kind of power would not only be a valuable friend, but also a powerful ally.

“You had an encounter with the Spider Queen?” Monkey King repeated as MK sat with his back against a rock, trying to stay calm as the little monkeys combed through his hair and picked at his clothes in an attempt to try and calm his still pounding heart.

“She snatched my Dad and Pa from the market pretending to be a vegetable vendor. I thought I could handle it but- I guess I still need to work on internalizing the panic and fear in the moment and having the breakdown later… I’m just not good with spiders.” MK admitted with a slight shudder.

“You’re an arachnophobe?” Monkey King questioned, sitting beside his young successor. “I would never have guessed.”

“It's a childhood trauma.” MK admitted, carefully steadying a smaller monkey in his lap. “It's also the biggest reason Dad and Pa had me homeschooled, and if not for all the therapy I had as a kid, I don’t think we’d be having this conversation right now. I’d be curled up in my bed still, trying not to have a mental breakdown.”

“What happened, if I may ask?” The Monkey King asked, offering the boy a slice of an apple.

“I’m not too sure on the whole details, but I remember one day in school I was grabbed from behind, tied up with webbing by one of the Silkworm kids and thrown into a closet-like space as an ‘offering’ to the Spider Ghost that haunted the School. It wasn’t real and I know that now, but when you’re five years old, and knew to the school, and how cruel kids can be you don’t think about that when you’re struggling to get out of webbing in a small space where there are lots of spiderwebs and little spiders.” MK explained, pausing his story to eat the apple slice he’d been offered. “What I didn’t know at the time and didn’t learn until a few years later was that it was all premeditated by a group of slightly older boys in the school who didn’t like me.”

“Why didn’t they like you?” Monkey King questioned, sharing the rest of the apple slices with the monkeys, youngest to eldest.

“I was friends with a lot of the girls in glass, mostly because I didn’t mind trading my cookie for a fruit snack or my juice carton for a milk one instead. And I also did really well in my classes, so they may have hated me for that.” He admitted, and smiled when the littlest monkey decided the best place to be at that very moment was sat up on his shoulder. “What I also didn’t know was that locking me in the closet wasn’t the only thing they had in mind for me.”

“I’m almost worried to ask. If you're still this worked up over the Spider Queen it must have been bad.” the Monkey King said, chuckling at the little monkey’s behaviour. It was good to see the children were learning to trust MK, and that the boy had no problem letting the children climb and ride around on his shoulders, as long as they didn’t fight with each other while on his shoulders or head.

“It doesn’t seem so bad now that I’m older, but being only five years old at the time and still kinda new to the whole social thing, I didn’t understand what was happening. While I was locked in that little space with no windows or any way out, tied up and unable to move, one of the boys used his magic, some kind of illusionary type from what my dad told me later, and made the image of a giant spider appear in the room, to further sell the idea I was gonna be eaten. I remember I screamed, but then I blacked out and when I woke up, I was in the hospital with Pa at my bedside and Dad talking to a lawyer.”

“Stars above and soil below, what did they do to you?” The Monkey King asked.

“I have no idea. I wasn’t hurt, just unconscious. According to Pa, the school cameras showed a really bright flash of light from down the hallway and then when everything came back into focus, all the boys were laying on the floor, screaming and frantically trying to get away from something the cameras couldn't see and then the teachers came and unlocked the closet to find me passed out and unresponsive so they called in the emergency services and it was a whole big investigation into the matter.” MK explained smiling when the mother of the littlest monkey came over and gently tugged her now sleepy cub from their chosen nest and set about grooming them. “They tried to talk my dad into letting me stay in school, even offered to let me go through their whole system for free, from current year to my end of education in their collage program, but dad and pa said no and since then I was homeschooled, the school had to pay for my enrollment in online classes and the boys who did it had to go to disciplinary schools while their parents paid out to cover my medical bills, and my therapy.” 

“Did it help?” Monkey King questioned.

“Kind of.” MK admitted, “I only really freak out when I see an actual spider now, rather then when I see webbing or hear someone mentioning spiders. But when I do see a spider I freeze up a little, and need to either get away from it, or usually my pa or dad catch it and take it outside.”

“Sorry to say bud, but that’s not gonna help in a fight against the Spider Queen and her Clanmates.” Monkey King said, “So, we’ll have to work on your response to seeing her again. But that can be a tomorrow thing.” He assured his successor with a smile. “For now, head home and make sure your pa and dad are ok, tomorrow, we’ll talk more about this and come up with some ways to help you face her, just in case she pops up again with Huntsman or Goliath.”

“Who?”

“Her clansmen. I’ll tell you about them tomorrow, for now, go home and get some rest.” Monkey King said again and gently ruffled the boy’s hair. “When you come back tomorrow, we’ll talk, train and then we’ll talk about the Spider Clan and their story.”

“Okay.” MK nodded, and after making sure none of the little monkey’s were clinging to him still, he shifted into his bird form, taking a moment to steady himself before taking off towards home.

By the evening, Lin had sent confirmations for all the parts she’d found, with only two of those items needing to be ordered through ‘special’ channels. And after a hot meal, Huntsman and Goliath informed the Queen of what they had seen through the eye of the drone that had followed Lin.

A human with such abilities was a blessing to any Clan, and the fact the Demon Bull Family hadn’t picked him up yet spoke of just how well this particular human had done to hide his abilities. And with good reason, such magic as his would not only cut costs down, but also greatly increase the life expectancy of any and all technological creations made by double or even triple the standard. The North had been the only safe place for them because it was a place of advanced technological progress, so to find out one such person lived in Megapolis and that Yin and Jin knew and kept their mouths shut about it was proof of a deeper understanding between them and him.

If this human could help them, the nagging worry about her mount mech’s age, the increasing chance of it failing as well as the technology they use now failing and falling apart would be all but remedies for the next few years. If this human helped them with their current project, it would allow the Queen and Huntsman to focus more of their own plans wholeheartedly.

But therein lay the catch to it all.

If.

It was clear that this human was aware of just how valuable his particular ability was, to the point he didn’t openly advertise it and those who did know also kept their mouths shut about it in respect to the man. Mrs. Fenshi had gone to the lengths of saying that the Cafe was being used for a very important conversation between Lin, the man and a third party to keep people out while the man was fixing her cardreader. Lin pretended not to know what the man was doing while she actively blocked any view of him from where she was sitting while the man made further efforts to hide what he was doing behind his laptop.

This man was aware of how sought out his skills were, and he either didn’t wish to be caught using them and drawing attention to himself or he had suffered already at the hands of someone’s cruelty and now protected himself by keeping his abilities to himself and a few trusted people. If the Queen was to earn his trust and aid to bring her and her clan into this man’s favour, their contact had to be handled with care, with delicacy and most importantly, with as much honesty as they could afford.

“Your orders, My Queen?” Huntsman asked as he and Goliath bowed before her.

“For now, I have none.” She admitted. “This man hides for a reason, I will not subject him to stalking as we were so long ago. No, this matter must be handled delicately. If Lin choses to introduce us, we shall speak to him more, if not, we shall seek a means to contact him ourselves.” She expressed and waved them both away.

“Yes My Queen.” They both responded before leaving her to think.

“A key?” Red Son repeated his mother’s statement.

“It seems this treasure your father found requires a specific key to unlock it. Our other methods have failed, and so we require a more modern approach.” His mother explained. “Can you do it?”

“I’d need to see the lock and do a few tests on it first, but yes, a Key should be relatively simple to make, assuming you don’t mind the expense of the metals needed to craft one?” he explained, already looking through his shelves and equipment to find the tools he’d need for the job.

“What would you need?” She questioned.

“Depends on the lock itself, if it’s as old as you say, then possibly something celestial or perhaps ancient demonic. I’d need to see the lock first to know that answer.” Red Son admitted and she waved him to follow her.

His Father was there already, and while clearly angered by the delay, said nothing as he set about inspecting the lock on the strange box he’d uncovered. A simple five point keyhole greeted him and after making a note of its size and measurements, he began using his tools to take measurements of the lock itself and the box itself, making notes as he worked until he went to insert what looked like a lockpick tool into the lock, to check the number of teeth the Key he’d be making needed-

And was suddenly flung backwards and ended up against the wall by the door. 

“Are you hurt?” His Mother asked.

“No.” He assured, dusting himself off and moved back to the box. “What was- wait…”

“What is it?” His Father questioned.

“The lock changed,” he said.

“What?” His Mother asked and moved to see what he was talking about.

“It was a five point keyhole before, now it's a trigram pattern,” Red Son said showing her the notes she’s watched him make not a few moments ago. “Is this some kind of puzzle lock?”

“It can’t be, puzzle locks have riddles to uncover the key on the box itself. This one had no such riddle of inscriptions.” his Mother said, looking at the box again.

“Hm. just a moment.” Red Son bid and after picking a different tool from his coat he steady himself and began to check the keyhole again, sure enough as he brought the tool to check the teeth inlays again, the lock tried to push him back and right before his and his mothers’ eyes the lock shifted and changed yet again, becoming an entirely new shape. “It's a skeleton lock.” 

“You’re sure?” His Mother asked.

“Yes, the measurements for the keyhole stay the same, but the shape and tooth patterns change every time something other than the correct key is brought close to the hole.” Red Son said. “Whatever is inside must be either very powerful or very rare.”

“Can you still craft a key?” His Father asked.

Red Son thought for a moment, “I could try crafting a skeleton key, but that would take more time than just a simple key.” He offered.

“How much longer?” His Father asked, his voice heavy with impatience and anger.

No point in lying and making him angrier. “Two weeks.”

“Two-”

“My Love.” His Mother soothed with gentleness. “Trust our son to know better than to waste time with things needlessly. It was after all, his efforts and brilliance that freed you from beneath that mountain. Do you doubt his skills in crafting something as simple as a key to unlock any door?”

“No.” His Father huffed. “Forgive me, I- I am not in my calmest mind.”

“Go and rest, my love, you are still adjusting.” His Mother bid and his Father left the room, hsi heavy steps shaking the ground.

His Mother looked at him as he gathered his tools again. “You are sure only two weeks?”

“I am, Mother. I’ll have the Bull Clones bring my meals to me so that you and father can have meal time to yourselves.” He said and went back to his lab.

She didn’t stop him, nor argue. Partly because she knew it would not help, and also because she could not blame her son for this distance. He’d spent years of his life dedicated to freeing his father, and now he was free, there was a disconnect between them all, hurts, grief, pains and mourning the time they’d missed made bonding hard.

Red Son didn’t know his place anymore, now that his father was back, he wanted to give his parents the time to be together without him, but he was also suddenly very aware of how little his and his father could bond, as despite everything, the time spent apart had robbed them both of the closeness they once shared. He wasn’t a small child any more, and his father was still suffering bouts of pain from being trapped in a limbo between death and living under that mountain for so long.

It would take a long time for them to begin walking on the path to being close as they once were again, but they were trying, navigating the ruined steps of relearning each other slowly and carefully one say at a time. And thankfully, they had the luxury of longevity, allowing them to take as much time as they needed to rebuild and reforge their bonds as a family.

They would heal and eventually, the Demon Bull Family would be united again.

Syntax sighed as he adjusted his glasses, ready to go over the oversized stack of papermail he’d retrieved from his post box that morning, just in case somewhere amongst the junk mail and pamphlets was something interesting.

Junk mail went into the shredder, newsletters were read over then also shredded if they were not of interest, the ones that were would be neatly folded and placed aside to be properly read over later, any important paperwork was set on his keyboard to be read, organized and sorted away properly.

That was usually it, but it seemed this month, he’d somehow picked up a few extras. Handwritten letters, six of them closed in pastel pink envelopes and all with the same heavy perfume scent coming from them and all of which were quickly shredded and forgotten. The seventh letter may have been different, it was addressed to him and was in a simple white envelope, redirected from his Nana’s old apartment to him, but upon opening the letter, Syntax found that the words have been distorted and warped into an unreadable mess and thus, whatever had been written was unreadable and with no return address to write back to, it also went into the shredder.

If it had been truly important it would have come to him via an email or a phone call.

Here we have a look at how the Spider Clan learnt about Syntax's magic, a glimpse at the Demon Bull Family and my own personal thoughts on why MK is afraid of spiders.

Why Irish Businesses Should Always Maintain Their Websites

Since so much is pulled up online, your website may be the first interaction a customer has with you. Having a good-looking website can separate businesses in Limerick, Galway and even Dublin from rivals, allowing them to attract new customers.

We have assisted many Irish businesses and what we notice most is that keeping your website up to date helps maintain your online reputation and promotes growth in the future.

In the following sections, we will focus on why maintaining your website is important for your business.

1. First Impressions Matter

You would make sure the area near your store was tidy, fresh and not damaged. What is the point of doing it again in the cyber world?

Most of the time, a potential customer’s first contact with you happens when they visit your site. If the site takes a long time to open, links do not work, the information is old or the appearance is outdated, it gives a feeling that nobody cares. This scares off visitors and weakens your reputation.

If you regularly look after your website, it will continue to be fresh and serve its purpose, making people trust it and enjoy it.

2. Security Should Always Be Considered from the Beginning

More organizations are under cyber attacks and even small businesses are being targeted. Almost all the time, WordPress, Joomla, Magento and other content management systems make security updates to guard against new risks.

If you do not maintaining of your site:

Your customer details could be taken by fraudsters.

A search engine may blacklist your website.

Our maintenance services at Flo Web Design include regular security audits, updates for plugins and malware scans to give you a worry-free website and protect your visitors.

3. SEO depends on regular website maintenance

Google and other search engines prefer websites that get updated and maintained frequently. If a site is slow, features old information or isn’t accessible on mobile, it will be given a lower ranking by search engines.

Keeping your website updated makes it better:

How fast web pages are loading

Mobile responsiveness

Metadata and organized data

Dealing with broken links

Content freshness

As a result, your website becomes more visible to search engines, it gains higher positions and gets more traffic.

4. Improve the way users interact with the application

Website users today want sites that are easy to use and quick to respond. Anything that makes the site slow such as images that don’t load or ancient navigation, will lead them to leave.

Maintaining the website often helps keep:

All the links and pages are accessible.

Pictures and videos are displayed without any errors.

Checkout, buttons and forms work efficiently.

Updates are made to give the program a new look.

A seamless experience for users will make them more likely to stay and possibly become paying customers.

5. Making Sure Your Content is Up-to-Date

Information about companies can vary—such as their prices, services, working hours, contact details, special deals, employees and similar elements. If the changes aren’t reflected on your website, it confuses your customers and decreases trust.

If your site is updated, you demonstrate that your business is lively and interested in its customers.

Our team at Flo Web Design ensures that Irish companies update their content, update their blogs and remove any old materials from their website.

6. This involves backing up and recovering your data

Website crashes can happen for reasons such as plugin conflicts, issues with the server, hacking or making a mistake while deleting something important. If you don’t back up your files often, you could lose everything you have worked on for a long time.

With our maintenance package, your site is backed up automatically, making it easy and quick to restore it and continue your business.

7. The standards of both Compliance and Performance

All Irish businesses should follow the rules set out by GDPR. Failing to keep your contact forms and cookie policies current could result in serious fines and legal issues.

Maintenance done regularly will help your website:

Graphic Design Career Paths After Completing a Local Course

Graphic design is more than just creating eye-catching visuals—it’s about communicating ideas, solving problems, and enhancing user experiences through design. With the growing digital landscape, the demand for skilled graphic designers continues to rise across various industries. Many aspiring designers often begin by searching for graphic design courses near me to start their creative journey. These local courses not only offer foundational skills but also open doors to a variety of exciting and lucrative career paths.

1. Graphic Designer

The most direct career path is, of course, becoming a graphic designer. After completing a course, graduates can find work in advertising agencies, media houses, corporate design departments, or even as freelancers. Graphic designers work on everything from logos and brochures to social media graphics and website visuals. The ability to understand client needs, use design software effectively, and communicate visually is key in this role.

2. UI/UX Designer

With the boom in web and mobile applications, UI/UX design has become a high-demand field. While traditional graphic design focuses on aesthetics, UI (User Interface) and UX (User Experience) design go a step further to enhance functionality and user interaction. If your course included basics of interface design, you can specialize further in this area. A strong portfolio showcasing wireframes, prototypes, and app layouts will help you land roles in tech companies or startups.

3. Motion Graphics Designer

Motion graphics combine design with animation. It’s a growing niche where designers create engaging visual content for videos, advertisements, online platforms, and social media. If you enjoy animation or storytelling, this could be your ideal path. Many local courses now offer introductory modules in motion graphics, using tools like After Effects and Premiere Pro.

4. Brand Identity Designer

Every business needs a recognizable brand. Brand identity designers help companies create visual systems that define their look and feel—logos, typography, color schemes, and packaging design. This role requires creativity, strategic thinking, and the ability to understand a brand’s personality. A local course that covers branding principles and design thinking can set you on the right path toward this career.

5. Web Designer

While web development focuses on coding, web designers handle the aesthetic and functional layout of websites. They create site mockups, user-friendly designs, and cohesive visuals that reflect the brand identity. After completing a local course in graphic design, you can specialize in web design by learning HTML, CSS, and tools like Figma or Adobe XD. Businesses of all sizes now recognize the value of a well-designed website, increasing opportunities in this field.

6. Digital Illustrator

If you have a flair for drawing and creativity, digital illustration could be your calling. This role involves creating custom illustrations for books, blogs, advertisements, games, and more. Many local graphic design courses introduce you to illustration techniques using software like Adobe Illustrator or Procreate. As a digital illustrator, you can work as a freelancer, take on client projects, or collaborate with design studios.

7. Print Designer

Despite the digital shift, print design remains a vital part of marketing. From posters and banners to magazines and business cards, print designers create visuals that are both attractive and effective. Local courses often include lessons on print layouts, color theory, and prepress techniques. Understanding print materials and dimensions is essential to succeed in this traditional yet evolving field.

8. Freelance Designer or Design Entrepreneur

Many individuals who complete graphic design courses prefer to work independently. Freelancing allows you to choose your clients, projects, and schedule. Over time, experienced freelancers even build their own design studios or agencies. A strong portfolio, good communication skills, and business knowledge are vital for success. Local courses that include real-world projects or internships can give you the experience you need to get started.

9. Social Media Content Designer

In today’s content-driven world, brands constantly need fresh and engaging visuals for their social platforms. Social media content designers focus on creating posts, reels, banners, and stories that resonate with online audiences. If your course included design for digital platforms, this is a fast-paced and creative role worth exploring.

Final Thoughts

Completing a local graphic design course is just the beginning. The skills you gain—visual storytelling, software proficiency, and creative problem-solving—can lead you to multiple rewarding career paths. Whether you choose to specialize in UI/UX, branding, or motion graphics, the design world offers limitless opportunities.

If you're ready to start your journey and are still searching for graphic design courses near me, look for programs that offer hands-on experience, industry-relevant tools, and career support. With the right foundation and passion for design, you can turn your creativity into a fulfilling profession.

Etsy Deletes the Reselling and Gift Baskets Legal Policies In Favour of New "Creativity Standards"

This morning (July 9, 2024) Etsy released several announcements regarding what can be sold on Etsy, new categorizations for items sold on Etsy, and a new ad campaign. You can read my early thoughts on that here.

As part of this overhaul, they abolished 2 longstanding site policies, namely the ban on reselling in the handmade category, and the ban on almost all gift baskets containing commercial goods. Since they deleted those pages and didn't even mention those rules in any of their announcements, I have preserved those now-dead policies below. Thanks to Bing for still having caches of deleted pages!

First , the Reselling policy (text follows the screenshot)

text of screenshot:

"You have reached the cached page for https://www.etsy.com/legal/policy/reselling/239324376512

Below is a snapshot of the Web page as it appeared on 2024-07-08 

Reselling

“Reselling” is selling an item that you, the seller, did not make or design. Etsy's marketplace includes handmade items, vintage items, and craft supplies. Reselling is only allowed in the vintage and craft supplies categories.

Everything listed in our Handmade category must be made or designed by you, the seller. Reselling is not allowed in Handmade. Read more in our Handmade Policy.

Examples of prohibited reselling include the following:

Creatively repackaging commercial items (for example a gift basket consisting of non-handmade items)

Curating a collection of others’ handmade goods that you did not design or make

Selling items made or designed by another seller who is not part of your shop

Selling traditional handicrafts or fair trade items that you did not design or make

Offering personalization as optional, or featured as a separate item (i.e. an add-on card, gift tag or written note), without altering or changing the commercial item.

Etsy reserves the right to remove listings that do not follow our policies. Sellers remain obligated to pay any fees incurred in listing such items.

Last updated on Jul 25, 2023"

And finally, the policy Etsy outright ignored for many years, the Gift Baskets policy:

"You have reached the cached page for https://www.etsy.com/legal/policy/gift-baskets/239976666926

Below is a snapshot of the Web page as it appeared on 2024-07-07 (the last time our crawler visited it).

Gift Baskets

Repackaging or creatively curating commercial items for resale as a gift basket or set is not allowed in the Handmade category, unless it is part of a new structure (see below).

You may not group new items you did not make into a basket or set even when based on a theme, idea, or life event.

For example, a care package for new parents, a college student, or somebody experiencing an illness containing any new items you did not make is not allowed, no matter how caringly curated it otherwise is.

DO: Include only qualifying handmade, vintage, or crafting supply items. DON’T: Include any mass produced item in a gift basket, unless it is part of a new structure.

If you wish to sell an item that contains some commercial components, this may be possible only if the commercial items 1) have been used as components that form a new structure or sculpture and 2) are physically attached to one another.

For example, a diaper cake is an item where components are creatively attached to each other to create a new item.

DO: Creatively use mass-produced items to form a new structure where the items are physically attached to one another. DON’T: Include newly-made, mass-produced items in a gift basket unless they are part of a qualifying structure.

Last updated on May 3, 2022"

I will have more thoughts on this on my main website blog soon, but yes, this means that many commercial items are now officially allowed to be sold on Etsy, as long as they are listed correctly.

I'm doing some research and trying to read a forum, but they've locked their search function behind registration. I know you have experience with that era of the internet, so do you have any idea why they did this? Was this common practice? It just seems like a baffling design decision, and a bit tragic since the main value of a lot of those places today is as an archive...

well first of all, web forums aren't an "era" of the internet they're an ongoing style.

also the day to day purpose of a forum is not to be like a public resource archive for the general internet world but to be a place people are talking to each other who at least kinda know each other through that forum. so there's no particular incentive for anybody to decide to make the function public. which is also why tons of them explicitly keep various areas of their forums completely hidden to non-registered users too and so on.

then there's the fact that a search query running is generally much more computationally intensive for the server to be running than having someone request a bunch of individual pages. so you generally want to have a minimal amount of gating the function behind something so that random bots out there don't accidentally or intentionally overloading the server. this was especially true and a more pressing concern in the past of course, when all aspects of hosting a forum were more expensive. that's an aspect of why a whole bunch of forum packages over the years have defaulted to search and other features restricted to registered users - though on very old sites often all such features were opened to all passerby because people hadn't really thought yet of the level of harm randos might cause. this is also why many effectively abandoned but still active forums are full of tons of spam.

but yknow since you're looking at places that are apparently still running, it's probably not too big a deal to just register on them to use the search?

Top 15 Benefits of Shared Web Hosting for Small Businesses

In today’s fast-paced digital era, establishing a strong online presence is no longer optional; it's a necessity for small businesses aiming to compete and grow in their respective markets. Whether you run a local retail shop, a consultancy firm, or a creative freelance business, having a professional website enhances your brand visibility and builds trust among potential customers.

However, for many startups or entrepreneurs with limited resources and technical know-how, selecting the right web hosting solution can be challenging. Key considerations like affordability, ease of use, reliability, and customer support come into play. That’s exactly where shared web hosting stands out, offering a low-cost, beginner-friendly way to get your business online without the complexity or high expense of advanced hosting solutions.

Shared web hosting allows multiple websites to share the same physical server and its resources, such as bandwidth, storage, and memory. This significantly lowers costs and makes it an ideal option for small business websites that don’t require extensive server customisation or high traffic capacity.

According to Hosting1.in, a trusted and affordable Indian hosting provider, shared hosting is the most practical choice for startups and SMEs looking to launch their websites with minimal investment. Their shared hosting plans come with features like free SSL certificates, fast SSD storage, cPanel support, and 24/7 customer service   all tailored to support growing businesses.

You can explore Hosting1.in's shared hosting plans here:

In this blog, we’ll explore the top 15 benefits of using shared web hosting for small businesses, and why it could be the smartest and most cost-effective decision to kickstart your online journey.

1. Cost-Effective Hosting Solution

One of the key advantages of choosing shared web hosting is its cost-effectiveness. Since multiple websites share the same physical server and its resources   such as bandwidth, disk space, and processing power   the operational costs are distributed, making this a highly economical solution for small businesses and startups.

For entrepreneurs launching a new website, shared web hosting provides all the essential features needed to get started   including cPanel access, email accounts, security tools like SSL certificates, and support for popular CMS platforms such as WordPress and Joomla. It’s a reliable choice for business owners looking to establish a professional web presence without dealing with complex technical setups or expensive infrastructure.

Additionally, providers like Hosting1.in offer shared hosting packages tailored to the needs of small businesses. Their hosting services include robust uptime, responsive customer support, and easy-to-use control panels designed for non-technical users.

Learn more about reliable shared hosting options from Hosting1.in:

Whether you're launching an informational site, a blog, or a product portfolio, shared web hosting offers a practical and accessible foundation   allowing your business to scale as it grows, without overcommitting on resources.

2. Easy to Set Up and Manage

One of the standout benefits of shared web hosting is how incredibly easy it is to set up and manage, even for users with little to no technical experience. Most reputable shared hosting providers include intuitive control panels like cPanel or DirectAdmin, which allow you to manage your website, domains, emails, and databases from a single, user-friendly dashboard.

In addition, shared hosting services often provide one-click installations for popular content management systems such as WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal. This feature enables small business owners, bloggers, and creatives to launch a fully functional website within minutes   without needing to write a single line of code.

For example, Hosting1.in offers shared hosting plans with one-click installation tools, making it easy to deploy applications, manage backups, and update software directly from the hosting panel.

Explore simple website setup options on Hosting1.in: This ease of use means you can focus on building your brand, creating content, and growing your business   rather than worrying about complicated server configurations or technical issues.

3. Free Domain and Email Features

Another key advantage of shared web hosting for small businesses is the inclusion of essential add-ons like a free domain and professional email features. Many shared hosting providers offer a free domain name registration for the first year, allowing businesses to secure a branded online identity right from the start   such as www.yourbusinessname.com.

In addition to domain services, shared hosting plans typically include custom email accounts (e.g. info@yourbusiness.com or contact@yourbrand.co.uk), which not only enhance your business's credibility but also strengthen your branding and communication. Using a personalised business email address appears more professional than a generic Gmail or Yahoo email, and it helps build trust with potential clients and partners.

Reliable hosting providers like Hosting1.in offer shared hosting packages that include domain registration, email account creation, spam protection, and easy mailbox configuration   all through an intuitive control panel.

Explore shared hosting with domain and email features at Hosting1.in: With everything integrated under one hosting account, small businesses can manage their domain, email, and website from a single dashboard   simplifying their online operations from day one.

4. Low Maintenance Requirements

One of the most appealing aspects of shared web hosting for small business owners is its low maintenance nature. Since the server is fully managed by the hosting provider, you’re not responsible for technical upkeep such as software updates, server maintenance, or security patches; all of these critical tasks are handled for you behind the scenes.

This makes shared hosting an ideal solution for non-technical users or busy entrepreneurs who want to focus on growing their business rather than managing server infrastructure. Hosting providers typically monitor server performance, install updates, patch vulnerabilities, and ensure the hosting environment remains secure and stable.

Trusted companies like Hosting1.in offer managed shared hosting services that include 24/7 monitoring, automated updates, and security enhancements, so your website stays protected without requiring constant oversight.

Explore fully managed shared hosting with Hosting1.in: With minimal technical responsibilities, small business owners can enjoy peace of mind and dedicate more time to content creation, marketing, and customer engagement.

5. Reliable Uptime

Ensuring your website remains accessible 24/7 is crucial for building trust and providing a seamless user experience. Reputable shared hosting providers typically offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee, which means your website will be online and available to visitors almost all the time, an essential factor for small businesses looking to maintain credibility and avoid missed opportunities.

High uptime not only ensures availability for your users but also supports your SEO performance, as search engines prioritise websites with consistent reliability. With advanced server monitoring and backup systems in place, leading shared hosting companies work proactively to prevent downtime and minimise service interruptions.

Hosting1.in, for example, delivers dependable shared hosting services with robust uptime performance, ensuring your business website stays live and responsive even during peak traffic hours.

Learn more about high-uptime shared hosting at Hosting1.in: Whether you’re running an online store, blog, or service portfolio, choosing a hosting provider with strong uptime performance is essential for maintaining user trust and business continuity.

6. Scalable Plans

One of the most significant advantages of shared web hosting is the scalability it offers. As your business grows and your website's traffic increases, you can easily upgrade your hosting plan to accommodate your evolving needs. Most shared hosting providers offer flexible plans, allowing you to start small and scale up your resources   such as storage, bandwidth, and email accounts   as required, without the need to migrate to a completely new server.

This scalability is particularly beneficial for small businesses, as it ensures you only pay for the resources you need at any given time. Whether you’re starting with a basic website and later expanding to an e-commerce platform or a content-heavy blog, shared hosting allows you to upgrade your plan with minimal disruption and without the complexities of server migration.

Leading providers like Hosting1.in offer scalable shared hosting plans, so you can easily increase your resources as your website traffic and business needs grow.

7. Built-In Website Builder Tools

Another significant advantage of shared web hosting is the inclusion of built-in website builder tools. Many hosting packages come with drag-and-drop website builders, which allow small business owners to create a professional-looking site without the need for coding knowledge or hiring a web developer.

These user-friendly website builders typically feature pre-designed templates, customisable elements, and easy-to-use interfaces, making it simple for anyone to build and maintain their site. Whether you’re designing a portfolio, an e-commerce store, or a simple blog, these tools make the web development process far more accessible and less time-consuming.

9. Integrated Security Features

When it comes to running a successful online business, security is non-negotiable. Reputable shared hosting providers include essential security features designed to protect your website and your visitors’ data   helping you build trust and safeguard your online reputation.

Most shared hosting packages now come with free SSL certificates (HTTPS), ensuring that data transmitted between your site and users remains encrypted and secure. In addition, hosting platforms integrate firewalls, real-time malware scanning, brute-force attack protection, and server-level monitoring to detect and mitigate threats before they impact your site.

Whether you're facing issues with server configuration, website downtime, email setup, or CMS installations like WordPress, having access to knowledgeable and friendly support staff can make all the difference.

11. Resource Efficiency

Shared web hosting is an excellent solution for small businesses that need reliable website performance without the complexities of managing a private server. By enabling multiple websites to share a single server environment, providers can maximise server usage efficiently   distributing computing power, bandwidth, and storage across many users in a balanced and controlled manner.

This efficient allocation of resources ensures that each website receives sufficient support for day-to-day operations such as handling user traffic, media uploads, email services, and database queries. For small business owners, this means dependable uptime and steady performance, even during moderate traffic spikes.

Additionally, most shared hosting environments are monitored and optimised by the hosting provider to maintain speed, security, and server health   eliminating the need for you to handle technical backend management.

12. Great for Low-Traffic Websites

Shared web hosting is particularly well-suited for websites with moderate or low levels of traffic, a common scenario for many small businesses, startups, personal blogs, and portfolio sites. If your site is still in its early stages or doesn’t require advanced processing power, shared hosting provides all the essential resources needed to ensure smooth and consistent performance.

From page loading speed to handling basic forms and displaying product galleries, shared hosting offers the right balance of support and simplicity. It allows small business websites to operate efficiently without over-investing in unused capacity or complex infrastructure.

Moreover, you can always scale up as your traffic and needs grow   making shared hosting a strategic starting point for long-term online success.

13. SEO-Friendly Hosting

Many shared hosting platforms today are designed with SEO in mind, offering built-in tools and features that help improve your website’s visibility in search engines. From one-click integration with Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools to SEO plugins and analytics support, shared hosting makes it easier to optimize your website from the ground up.

These platforms often include content delivery network (CDN) integration and support for fast-loading pages, both of which are crucial for enhancing page experience, reducing bounce rates, and meeting Core Web Vitals benchmarks. Additionally, reliable uptime and HTTPS availability (via free SSL certificates) further signal trust to search engines.

Whether you're running a blog, eCommerce site, or company portfolio, shared hosting can lay a solid SEO foundation that grows with your business.

14. Frequent Backups

Reliable shared hosting providers often include automated daily or weekly backups as part of their service. These regular backups ensure that your website’s data   including files, images, databases, and configurations   is securely stored and can be restored swiftly in the event of accidental deletion, cyberattacks, or technical issues.

For small business owners, this feature offers reassurance that you won’t lose valuable content or customer information. Most hosting dashboards also allow you to manually create on-demand backups or restore your website to a previous state with just a few clicks with no technical expertise required.

Whether you're running an online store, blog, or portfolio, regular backups play a vital role in business continuity and disaster recovery planning.

15. Perfect for Trial and Learning

Shared hosting is an excellent starting point for entrepreneurs, students, and small business owners launching their first online project. It provides a user-friendly, low-risk environment where you can explore the fundamentals of web hosting, domain management, content updates, and basic SEO   all without the need for advanced technical knowledge.

Whether you're building a blog, portfolio, or informational website, shared hosting gives you the space to experiment, test features, and grow your confidence in website management. With intuitive dashboards like cPanel, one-click app installations (e.g. WordPress), and helpful customer support, you’re equipped with all the tools to learn and succeed.

This makes it ideal not only for startups but also for hobbyists and learners keen on understanding how websites work before moving to more advanced hosting solutions.

Conclusion For small businesses looking to establish a strong and professional online presence, shared web hosting offers a practical, reliable, and user-friendly solution. It combines ease of use with essential features such as built-in website builders, email hosting, SEO tools, and regular backups   all designed to support growth without demanding advanced technical skills.

As your business evolves, shared hosting services typically provide scalable options, ensuring that your website can expand seamlessly alongside your ambitions. Whether you're launching your first website or trialling a new idea, shared web hosting delivers the right balance of simplicity, functionality, and performance.

With its low barrier to entry and supportive ecosystem, it’s easy to see why shared hosting remains a popular choice for startups, freelancers, and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) seeking dependable and accessible web hosting solutions.
