Smashing Book

Having long offered sagely advice to Wed designers and developers alike, the chaps at Smashing Magazine now bring us The Smashing Book, showcasing best practices in modern Web design. And wouldn’t you know, they’ve featured our website as a shining example of how to use a monochromatic colour palette. High fives and back slaps all round, not to mention big love to Cookie, for all his excellent design and illustration work.


Bye bye little Hungarian - Hello Marcus


After two years with the little hungarian - Edit, we, at Roome, said our fond fairwells as she turned her focus to her masters in international business. As the first Hungarian to study this masters at Kings college we like to think that we had a little something to do with her impending success and world domination.

So for all those wanting to talk about spondoolie and timesheets please contact Marcus at accounts@roome.co.uk , Marcus, joins us with his wealth of digital and media agency knowledge and his book keeping know how.

So its goodbye to the little Hungarian and hello to Marcus………….
