Started the new look for my site tonight, I’ve improved the main menu look and feel (not live yet) and made it look a bit more funky and modern, also adding a small twitter button and a new ‘Newsletter sign up’ button to every page (hundreds of them still to do). The new newsletter section will offer visitors the option to sign up to a monthly newsletter featuring all the new additions to the site. Been emailed quite a few times about this over the years… Should make it far easier for Schools, Nurseries and Parents to get the latest info on what the new features and free coloring sheets and new Educational sheets are on the site are without having to visit this blog or get involved with RSS feeds.
The company I’m using will give the easy, fast ‘one click’ option of unsubscribing from future newsletters, so if you are a Parent and little Jimmy is now 9 and my sites no longer relevant, ‘click’, I’m gone….
I’ve also set up a rule book (Brand guidelines as we say at work) on the design of the site, some pages are looking messy, trying to get it all looking uniform and tidy. Good news is its all going well so far, bad news is the new pictures are on hold, but this ‘spring clean’ has fired me up again.
The sketches and drawings are still going well, booking some time off work soon and Freys also away next week so I’ll have more time to get the new printables live (got loads now)
A big thanks to Ben Rush, Robin (aka Captain Kenyon) and Ryan Gibson for help, support…
