Pro tip: choosing “password” as your online password is not a good idea. In fact, unless you’re hoping to be an easy target for hackers, it’s the worst password you can possibly choose.

“Password” ranks first on password management application provider SplashData’s annual list of worst internet passwords, which are ordered by how common they are. (“Passw0rd,” with a numeral zero, isn’t much smarter, ranking 18th on the list.)

Nice things clients have said…

  • a horse of course
    When I needed a new website one of my prime interests was to have a user friendly simple and straight forward site that was a pleasure to visit. Simple, Honest, and Effective. It was a pleasure to work with Rob, he interpreted well and built exactly what I imagined, plus kept me well informed throughout the process. And it works! I’m really pleased with the whole process, and look forward to working with Rob to develop the site further as the business evolves.

  • Awesome job on the website Rob, your patience, problem solving and technical expertise have been invaluable in producing just what we needed. There is a collective sigh of relief from the Pataka team that we now have a clean, user-friendly site to showcase what we have to offer, or as one of Pataka’s staff put it… 'Super bloody marvellous'!

    I can’t recommend Lifeform Labs enough. Rob has been extremely good to work with. His approach is professional, prompt, and above all helpful. He offered, and delivered, a very affordable product geared to my specific needs. Never once did I feel overawed by all the IT stuff, yet he did encourage me to grapple with some aspects of the web, which has improved my understanding immensely. If you need a web guy Rob at Lifeform Labs is your man.

    Rob’s technical WordPress know-how has got my site up and running, but it’s his knowledge of the web that I’ve found especially useful. His advice on search engines and social media trends has helped me to develop an overall strategy – I know what I need to be doing next. Cheers Bob!

    I needed a clean looking site that I could maintain and style myself – Lifeform Labs did an awesome job!

    Rob assisted me build my first ever business website and logo. To say I am a rookie in these sort of things would be generous. I had absolutely no idea apart from the fact that I wanted some nice photos, a certain theme and was quite clear on the logo I wanted. I can only praise Rob in all his dealings with myself and my colleagues – he was calm, informed, insightful, had great attention to detail and was always there whenever we had any questions. The result is a website and logo that I am 100% happy with created in less than 3 weeks. I cannot recommend Rob more highly.

    Rob was great to deal with, prompt in his responses to my queries and ever willing to sort out my website problems with me, often at short notice. It was important to me that I retained some degree of control over my website and that I could learn from Rob as we went along. He was very open to this. He charged fairly and I look forward to working with him on an ongoing basis.
