The world needs a new hero. The world needs… Mr Yearbook Man! Coming soon to a screen near you.

Yesterday at 10.40am, Jamey, my fellow web developer, accidentally deleted out the entire database holding all our yearbooks online – photos, entries, pages, users… everything. Suddenly anyone trying to access the website would have seen a blank error page, not knowing the full extent of the problem. I found out about 20 seconds later when [...]

Due to user error, we lost some data this morning. Any changes made to yearbooks this morning between 2am and 10.45am will have been lost. We apologies for the obvious inconvenience caused and will keep you informed as this progresses.
No data entered before 2am this morning should have been affected. However, all data entered after [...]

We’ve been trialling for a while now the concept of visiting schools (and other groups) around the country and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.

St.Bartholomews
The Woodroffe school

However, I’m not going to talk at length on the [...]

We’ve spent a lot of time and research making our [...]

We’ve decided to extend our early bird discounts by a month. You now get 10% off your total order if you get a £200 deposit to us by end of November, or 5% off by end of December.
