Every great idea not only relies on professional execution on the design but a dedicated marketing campaign is in my eyes the key to any sites success. This is a great design, nice and simple, but the success is in the hands of it’s marketiers! I hope is does well :)

I can assure you that Patrick does not do paid posts. He does give some really good advice and is genuinely interested in promoting the development of the web…

Any post about a website could look like you’re plugging a client, especially a site like One Big Present that’s run locally. I have to defend you here though because I have it on good authority it’s not a paid post!

I don’t do paid posts and never will do. Why would you think this was a paid post?

Yet another annoyingly simple yet effective idea I wish I’d thought of!

Doesn’t this kind of service dehumanize the whole process of being a gift, being thoughtful and buying that unique (that you might not be able to buy in John Lewis or Amazon?).

I am sure the massmarket will bite, as it’s an excellent idea… but there will always be a use for a second or third toaster…
