I’ve been rather ranty on the blog recently, moaning about social media, the phone, it being too cold, too hot….So here I am with an actual post on web design. We’ll see how well it pans out (also thinking of introducing a weekly cooking feature)
I’m a big fan of using large background in web design, unfortunately this does slow things down and possibly angers google, but I think we should be designing for the people who are actually looking at your site rather than the google web design bots.
I’ll share a couple with you now, just below this text I am typing now…
http://www.tekahu.co.nz/ – love it to bits – probably a nightmare to update, and not too google friendly being built in flash, but still, lovely as lancashire hot pot
http://www.benthomsonphoto.com/ – Takes the types of photos I wish I could, absolutely glorious in their full screen majesty
http://www.immersive-garden.com/ – Gosh they have spent a bit of time on this one! Simply beautiful web design.
Good Friday (Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday depending on your time of viewing) dear reader. (For those expecting a blog posting on that fantastic CSS curvy thing, I think you will need to wait a little longer)
How has your week been? It has just been a normal week at Curly towers ™ nothing too exciting to report (although we have managed to completely finish off Elizabeths box of biscuits in 4.5 days) Quite a thoughtful week, my mind has been pondering this and that and the future of the kale, lots of exciting things on the horizon, I’m just not quite sure which order to put them in.
I do believe we have a lovely little business here, its a pure joy to meet so many wonderful people on a daily basis, nice, honest people, all approaching business in the same way that we like to..no fuss, no messing around, no contracts, no long words. We know you, and you know us…it really is wonderful.
I’m quite passionate about cutting all the rubbish out of web design / graphic design / seo / whatever. If you call or bob by for chat, we’ll tell you how it is, what to bother with and what not to bother with. We simply aren’t going to take your money to start an SEO campaign that will be a waste of time, or to setup a load of social networking systems that wont deliver you any results. If we can’t do it, will let you know who can!
It’s late and I sense I’m rambling on too much. Maybe I’ll have an epic end of year ramble, or take some time to put my thoughts down in a more eloquent manner and place within the site somewhere (we are due a website refresh / revamp )
I will leave you with the master and his Lazer Harp (Really want one of these) – Do you think he really requires the glasses to operate this instrument?
Have a glorious weekend
Once more we’re having a bit of a dilemma. I cant helping thinking its time to redesign the site…we’ve been looking like this for quite some time now, and cant help but think it looks rather dated, and doesn’t quite fit us anymore.
So thought Id ask the wonderful readers of the blog your thoughts. Should we redesign? – we’re not thinking of going corporate and clean (gosh forbid!) ..would a little more crazyness put you off? Would more cats detract you from your reading enjoyment?
Any thoughts would be very welcome and very warmly received with a manly handshake or lovely cuddle.

Hello there blog fans. How are you? I have an internal blog dilema I’d like to share.
Official business blog guidelines from the Official Ministry of Business Matters (OMBM) state a blog should contain news on your industry, insights in to the current affairs of the moment.
I’ll be honest with you. I dont get excited when I hear a new font has been developed, a new colour mixed or a new type of paper is out that is slightly thicker than a thinner one.
Dear reader (and you are very dear to us if you read our blog), dear reader I am hoping you think the same as I do on the Blog debate. Are you really interested in how Starbucks slightly updated their logo? Are you interested in reading about a fantastic new CSS method of making something curvy?
I hope not.
Please don’t get me wrong, that new curvy CSS dodah is fantastic.
I (and I think ‘us’ as a little company) would rather share our inspiration, what gets us up in the morning and those little things that excite us…and possibly a few rants now and then on companies spending £560,000,000 to slightly lighten up the green on a logo.
I’ll stop this Saturday rant and get to what inspired this posting.
Im a rather late to the music of James, but after hearing this on the Early Early Chris Hawkins breakfast show (bbc radio 6 – does this make me trendy? – I hope not)…After hearing this I have more or less had it on loop.
I hope you enjoy, I know somebody forcing you to listen to something they think is wonderful and you hate is horrible, but listen to the words, have a look at the pictures and do your best.
Have a lovely Evening
I’ll be back soon on that curvy CSS thing
That’s one craaaazy cat!
