OK, let’s see how this actually looks, with a bit of text, some imagery, etc. The new site is beginning to take shape, but we’ll need more text than I’ve currently got, though, so here’s some self-promotional tripe from Eric, the web designer (me):
For many years, I’ve operated under the auspices of Waldemar Pure & Applied Research, a mysterious transnational agency whose specialty is practically everything. I design websites, exhibition flyers & ephemera, books, and moving images, and I also do a variety of writing, editing, tutoring, and teaching. Past & present clients include CU Denver, West Side Books, Syracuse University Press, Tortilla Productions, Woodstock Library, the Turner Museum, and now the Western Cast Iron Art Alliance.
For web design, I tend to favor a site that provides a lot of avenues to explore, yet is structurally simple and easy to maintain. Much of the time, that includes using WordPress (an open source, secure design framework), as an understructure. This makes it fairly simple to generate and design intricate interlinked content, and also create spaces for conversation and social networking. If you, dear reader, need a site made, I can set up the whole thing for you, from concise, persuasive text, to compelling imagery, to design, programming, and SEO. I’m an artist (drawing,cinema, etc.), but this site is about iron, not me, so that’s another story to look into on your own, if you feel like it.
At the moment, what’s on my mind is generating enough text to put up an initial post, with an image, to see how this site is looking as I form and tweak the design and underpinnings. Leave a comment if you’ve got any thoughts…
