We want to wish all you wonderful people on the world wide web a very merry Christmas and a prosperous new year. 2024 has been quite a special year for us for two reasons: One, the directors, Ellis and James, discovered they were on the same page with their believes in how they could make websites better for you, the customer, and your business and two, Jamlis Web, the affordable custom coded website builder was founded.
We typically like to create blog posts that really offer web users valuable content that can help them make informed decisions and give their business a boost on the virtual high street, but today we are going a little off-piste â because itâs Christmas!
Our Christmas Message
This Christmas, may your days be filled with success, happiness and health for you and your loved ones. Let us cherish the ones we hold dear and honour the memory of those we’ve loved and lost, whose presence remains in our hearts. This season is a time to reflect on gratitude for the bonds we share and the blessings we enjoy. Amidst the joy, let us also extend kindness to those less fortunate, remembering the profound value of community and compassion. May this season inspire us all to support one another, spreading love and hope to make the world a brighter place.
To Give Is to Receive
For in giving, we find the true essence of joy and humanity.
On Christmas Day, while many children wake to gifts under the tree, countless others face a day without presents or a visit from Santa Claus. However, thanks to generous charity appeals, like shoebox donations, many of these children will still feel love, joy and the warmth and comfort of the season that so many of us take for granted. Yet, the spirit of giving shouldnât end with Christmas. Every child deserves safety, happiness, and support throughout the year. By helping organisations like the NSPCC, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of vulnerable children in 2025. Discover how you can support their incredible work and, together, we can create better futures for every child in need..
Our Christmas Cracker
What is Christmas without a cracker full of jokes, trivia and puzzles for the family to enjoy whilst avoiding eating those Brussel Sprouts! We thought the best present we could give you this year would be the opportunity for festive smugness, and the best way to do that was to arm you with a vast arsenal of cracker jokes and trivia for you to whip out at the dining table and have your family in stitches or awe for the whole day â with some web-based merriment too. Well, it is either the jokes or the sherry, but one way or another Granny canât stop chuckling!
