Six Years Ago: Cape Town: District Six

It has been an extremely eventful couple of weeks. Two weddings in San Francisco, one in Tahoe. A website update, more running than my body knows how to handle and I am ready for a moment to breathe. But first, I want to give a little peak into the website updates. Along with a little re-branding I have changed the back end, it is now completely customizable by me. I am using software from Showit, they do an amazing job of making the process incredibly straightforward. No more need to consult with a designer, I am the designer!
One of the best parts of this new site though, is my ability to have mini-sites! Now my lovely clients can have their own websites branded just for them, with their pictures. They can even update the content as they like. This is perfect for weddings, new families or even seniors getting ready to head off to college. I LOVE it.
With regards to the branding, I decided to go with a hand drawn garden theme. Simple, black and white. The only real color is coming from the images. There is a bit of movement. The fella thinks it's kitschy, I think it's cute. I mean, how does a little snail sliding across the bottom of your screen not make you smile? Other thoughts... the website may or may not be changing with the seasons. Now it is flowers, in the autumn it may be leaves. We shall see...
I would love it if you could take the time to stop by the new site and give me your thoughts. Do you love it? Do you hate it? Visit the website and let me hear your thoughts!
