Want More…. Just ask! June 4th, 2008

Here at YoDiv our team of dedicated Divlets are talented, they turn your designs into great sites with perfect CSS and XHTML, but there is more than just slicing.

Clients often ask us extra questions: “How can I make this blog work?”, “Can you put my Flickr feed on this page?”,”Hey, it would be great to show my Twitter status here!”.
Our response - “Why not!”

So we are pleased to say that our team of Divlets can cater for your extra needs, including:

  • Wordpress Integration / Themes (inc version 2.5) from your designs.
  • Integration of API’s - Flickr, YouTube, Upcoming.org
  • Integration of Micro Blog services - Twitter, Pownce

How do you get these services - just ask. There’s a small fee for each of the items we plugin to your site, but it’s not going to break the budget, and we do it a lot so can make sure it works for your site.

And what if it isn’t on this list - just ask. We’re happy to keep the Divlets busy with your every need!
