So you’ve started a company, huh? Good job! You’ve probably already gone through the typical start-up process. You’re either bootstrapping your project, or you’ve received your first round of funding under your belt for some working capital. Perhaps you’ve moved into a loft-styled office space (with lots of comfy couches), hired your dream team, and are now thinking… Read more »
So your client is on Square Space. And all of their files were uploaded there. Squarespace however doesn’t provide FTP so you can’t just go in and grab them all. Only images are found in the /sitemap.xml file – so we need a way to get a list of all of the PDF files that have… Read more »
I recently finished a couple months stint crushing season upon season of Hotel Impossible. While I’m not normally the reality TV loving kind of guy, I liked seeing host Anthony Melchiorri rip into complacent owners and managers.

Amongst our favourite wordpress plugins are 2 heavyweights. Gravity forms – the superior forms management plugin that is easily one of the most extensible form management plugins out there, and W3 Total Cache – the ultimate Caching / Minification plugin. Unfortunately, when you lock these two titans into the same corner, the outcome can be… Read more »
We’ve been fortunate to have the opportunity to design and develop the websites of some incredible charitable organizations here in Regina, Saskatchewan. When we first started Command Base back in 2011, we didn’t just want to be another web shop that would churn out site after site with no regard for whom they were working for. We wanted… Read more »
