It's all change again at the #1 Ladies Website Agency and not just for the website. We've moved into our spacious 60m2 office at the WTC2. I count myself really lucky to have such an amazing working environment with enough space to define separate areas for meetings, workshops, printing, video editing and creative website work.
Naturally, such a creative environment made me rethink the role of this website. While of course it should show our portfolio, prices and team, I felt it should also act as an informative guide to the world of website design, and the nitty-gritty technical stuff that many of us
afraid of - or simply don't know about. My main role when I meet clients for the first time, apart from listening and helping them bounce around ideas, is to also explain the various planning stages a website goes through - from initial conception to final delivery and beyond.
Yet there are many entrepreneurial women (and, let's face it - men too), who would like some sort of place where they can read up about all of the ins & outs of a website before putting even a single toe in the water. This website is the perfect platform.
Starting this month, each month I'll take you through a particular website topic. I start the ball rolling with website images. Nowadays it would be unthinkable to publish a website devoid of any image whatsoever, but back in August 1991 when Tim Berners-Lee published the first website his was just a simple, text-based page with a handful of links (click here to view a copy of his original page). How times have changed, eh?
While far from exhaustive, you'll find a few ideas on my home page, as well as here and in this article too. Multiple photos are best presented in either slide-shows or galleries so take a moment to go through the Image drop-down menu to your left to discover still other ideas. However, before you rush to add photos to your website, I have a little story to tell about photos entitled "Did You Get Permission?".
Next month I'll talk you through the website planning process. Until then, happy browsing.
