Where's the sales pitch?
12/11/08 15:50 Filed in: Loud Mountain news
Well, just like any other person I am always sceptical of sales pitches which is why you won't find one here. BUT I AM lacking some testimonials on this site as well as a proper homepage to summarise Loud Mountain services. i have a colllection of testimonails as well as a vision statement and a desgin concept which illustrates what I preach... which is accessibility and ease of use. So, a Loud Mountain redesign is on it's way which I am working on between projects. Stay tuned!!

New website for country school
How often have you heard "The person looking after our website left a few months ago, so nothing has been updated!"?. Recently I was asked to build a site that was intuitive enough to allow anybody with basic computer skills to take over the updating. It's basically... click edit... change picture/text... click save, leaving the design in the hands of the designer - no more multi-coloured body text 32pt in size next to a 10pt heading! View the Yarram Seconday College website. It was inspired by the ease of use and web standards approach of the National Library of Australia website.
