A Change of Mindset
Mar 22nd
There is a time in your life when you think you know where you headed but what happens to many of us is that we forget to steer back on that (dream) line once in a while. It happened to me also. I started working what I love, in IT industry. But I noticed that building standard websites for Croatian clients started to look like a saleswoman dragging bought items over bar-code scanner in a local store, beep .. beep .. beep. That was not my dream!
My colleague and I were slapped by competition and their story recently. And long story short, we need to put more effort in foreign market and start building our business there. Our knowledge is not appreciated well in Croatia what makes it hard to earn enough money for a decent living. So you may guess what to expect from us in the future.
I’ll keep updating you and you keep visiting my blog! ;)
Clients clients clients …
Mar 5th
So many new clients, so much work but where to find the time to develop all this requests. I had to put titlovi.hr aside for a while unit we finish top priority websites for our clients. Here I’ve just finished this template and sent to the client for confirmation. Contact form is not well designed because it’s pain in the but to style it in photoshop so don’t judge me on that until I finish the CSS part of it ;)
Web template can be best seen here: http://izrada.gemstudio.hr/grill-lovorka.hr/
Working hard on many things, one of them is titlovi.hr web service
Jan 6th
Hi folks. Titlovi.hr is on it’s way to finished within a month. Main idea is to build the best website for searching movie subtitles for domestic territories. But not just “best” like they all say :) best as usable, without ads and unnecessary content and of course, maximum use of Ajax technologies.
Here’s a screenshot of the latest template:

New project finished: Official Lyrics
Jun 16th
Yes, it’s official. Official Lyrics is finally done, after 3 months of work, actually 12 hours of efficient programming. There is much to improve on the SEO side but the lack of time I have, I’ll call it finished. :)
So please visit the site or better yet, link to it! :) There are about 500 000 songs in there and Google is doing bad job at crawling it fast. I’ll put AdSense on it when I reach the goal of 400+ unique visitors daily.

Gmail App for iPhone
Apr 9th
Finally, everyone wanted it but no-one made it .. until now! I didn’t like launching Safari, then going to Gmail and surf through it within limited space of the browser. And so I’ve made a full screen App without browser features.
I made it possible with a little cool browser meta feature “apple-mobile-web-app-capable”. To test it yourself go to http://gemstudio.hr/gmail/ and add this bookmark to Home Screen, there’s your Gmail App!

GEM Studio references
Feb 3rd
Hi folks, I’ve been very occupied last month by standard webdesign projects for clients. Speaking of clients, I’ve made an update for our backdoor references web page, you can find it here: http://izrada.gemstudio.hr, It’s a replacement for server.gemstudio.hr which is redirected now so you can’t see it. It’s a bit flashy, I have used some JavaScript to make it modern, very simple effect.
Till next time, have fun ;)
