Just finished designing a website for an insurance company in town. The site still needs to be built out, but the overall layout and template are completed. Now, all that’s left is gathering the information and deciding the best way to handle some of the submenus–but that should be pretty straightforward.
I’m also in the process of developing a couple more sites. Got a really nice compliment the other day on one of my personal favorite sites (not so much from the design, but from the actual content.) www.yourtownalabama.org/news/index.php. I was giving part of a presentation on marketing strategies as they relate to tourism and was introducing myself. I explained what I’d be doing as part of the team of people working on the Southwest Alabama tourism initiative. Someone who knows me also chimed in that I do work for Your Town Alabama, the Alabama Scenic Byways Program and a few other things. About an hour later, we went around the room and asked everyone to talk about themselves and explain what they did. One of the people stood up and said that, before she started talking about herself, she wanted to thank me for the Your Town Alabama newsletter. She went on to say that it was full of useful information–everybody loves to find out about grants they can apply for and what’s going on in communities around them. It is always really cool to have someone thank you for something–especially something that you enjoy working on.
