Hectic Web

My designer-self is all about the websites right now. Two new sites are in development today - I'm writing content for Accurate Staffing and doing the initial setup on a new Drupal site for AA-Affordable at "plumbinggremlins.com". Seriously, there's a very cute little green gremlin guy with a wrench. I can't tell you how much I was to create little fuzzy stuffed gremlins as a giveaway.

Live

I love going live with new Web sites. I'll never forget the first time I switched on the very first site I had build myself from scratch, I agonized about it for hours, for fear that I hadn't thought of everything and it would fail horribly in some browser configuration I hadn't thought of.

But like any design piece (or anything at all that you ever create I guess), there's a point where it's time to let go. I love Web sites because once I upload everything, it's out there in the world and instantly accessible to anyone who can find it.

I've gotten a little better at this since then, but every site involves some new skill that I've just learned. Today seaaire.com went live, complete with Flash movie and a whole bunch of embedded video, and I'm looking forward to finding out just what happens next.
