It took what feels like a life time, maybe two, but it’s finally here; cardboardcutout.co.uk has finally been granted a relaunch. Yes the new website has been a very long time in the making and underwent more revisions and redesigns than any site in my history as a designer. I got a design together that I didn’t get sick of in 3 days, then I got sick of the colour, then I got sick of wordpress, I like the blue, I like wordpress too, not sick of it yet. Maybe next week?
Building the site took a huge amount of getting used to both php and wordpress, for of idiosyncratic quirks both. Wordpress in particular seems to be built to be entirely counter intuitive to my own particular working process. Once that hurdle was over it was back to getting used to the social networks that I’d been studiously ignoring for so long, sorry twitter. I made it to the party, late admittedly, but I made it all the same. Integrating all of these things has been fun, for a masochistic value of fun.
Honestly its great to have a home base on the web again. Somewhere I can ramble at will and nobody will be able to cut me off mid flow. Other than me, like its not wise to self edit. As I don’t yet know how long my average post may be but it seems like I’m signing off pretty early in this post but all the same, I’m sure I’ll have something to post soon.
