The Inflatable House was initially a podcast and blog set up for myself and a friend to host mixes and our music related posts, but after a few months our attention drifted to other projects and the podcast laid dormant.

So, I had an idea and I’m not sure what to do with it. I’m not sure I have the time to learn how to make an iPhone app, let alone build it and the market it properly when it’s finished. So I thought I’d turn my idea into a blog post, and if anyone reading this thinks it’s a good idea – then maybe you can take up the project.

Dave Bond already had a web presence when he asked me to redesign his aging website, he had begun to explore social media and had set up Twitter and Facebook accounts to promote his personal training services, but his website was falling behind in getting across his message. Dave had lots of ideas about content for the site and how it would be kept up to date, with new content being added all the time in the form of articles he had written or sourced.
