Hooray! Our new website has safely been born. Yes, it took a bit of blood, sweat and tears (just a few) but we happily got there in the end. Of course, this is not the first time we’ve launched a new site. Having been in the business for a while we’ve felt the urge to change our site every time that, well, we did.
 
 
What a new website should do:
 
  • Project where you are right now and where you want to go.
  • Make you feel warm and fuzzy inside when someone says they’ve looked at it.
  • Encourage the right kind of clients to pick up the phone and chat to you. People who don’t get your site are not really your people.
  • Have some new feature that makes you feel like you’re moving forward.
 
A look back
 
Here’s a retrospective of our websites from the past. Naturally they look incredibly dated but it’s interesting to think they were pretty spot on at that time. Nothing is permanent. Especially in cyberspace…
 
The one before this one
 
2007-2009 site HP
 
The edgy mid 2000s
 
2005 to 2007 website
 
When primary navigation sat at the bottom of the sea…

And 2009 (note the rebranding. ‘About time’ you cry!)

Have you archived your sites? I’d love to see any old ones if you’d care to show them. I hope you like the new-look write-minded. Huge thanks to Vivi and Antony at Webo for putting up with my web editor pedantic-ness and Adam Jones from Quercus & Co for his innate ability to articulate what I couldn’t.
