My new site is live!

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

It’s fitting to write my first blog on the launch of the second version of my site.

I designed and built version 1. The problem was that I built it with very simple and old programming and I needed some serious upgrading. This would give me increased functionality (I’ve got a geek in me somehwere), better SEO (search engine optimisation) and it would be quicker and easier to maintain (we all need a good CMS at some point in our lives… even if its not computer related).

My old and simple site looked like this:

So I called the best man for the job – Duncan – ‘the programming and information age god of gods’ at Codeistry.

I’m bigging him up as I’ve never seen anyone who can digest, filter, explain stuff and build anything as well as he can. Anything you need to know about website creation and pretty much anything computer related, Duncan’s your man.

What you see here now is my slightly adjusted design and many more glorious whizzy bits thanks to Duncan. We’re still tidying up a few things, but please let me know what you think!

THANKS SO MUCH DUNCAN for making something brilliant for me and so easy to maintain. I feel like I’ve moved from the dinosaur internet age into the future!
