I’m bored with my website. That shouldn’t come at a surprise either. In fact, I’ve been planning/designing one for months, updating it along side my current one.
Now I’m not an expert when it comes to website design. I know enough to get by. 😉 In fact, it’s rather fun doing my own website when I’m not looking for frills. I just want something simple that will convey what I write. Period. No music, scrolling marques or anything flashy.
…until I stumbled upon a flash website that allows you to create your own flash website using drop and drag. I’ve played around with it a few times and it seems rather simple to use. Not to mention, the flash looks really cool. However, I don’t relish the idea of uploading new pics and copying and pasting content onto the pages, and laying the thing out in a manner that’s appealing to readers. I’ve already done that with the current design and I don’t want to do it again. Not to mention, it takes time I don’t have.
But, man if www.Wix.com isn’t a cool website design place. 🙂 Still, I had promised myself if I had sold another book, then I’d get a professional to do my website. Given the choice, I’d go with a WordPress website in a heartbeat. But for now, I’ll have to rely on my own skills when it comes to website design. And before you ask, no. I haven’t sold another book…yet. 😉
So without further ado…here it is. The new www.marciacolette.com. Enjoy! Oh, and don’t send me any emails yet. That stupid form has been a butt sore to work with and I still haven’t worked out the kinks. *sigh*
Pretty!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, hon. 🙂
Love the new site – the design that goes down the side on all the pages gives a sophisticated edge and a flow to it all! One thing check out Appearances at Magnolias singing instead of signing. What can I say it’s 3 a.m. and I’m up checking out your new website not only that I’m proofing LOL!
😆 Thanks for the catch. That’s what I get for making some last minute changes after 11pm at night. It was definitely past my bedtime.
Very nice! Simple and easy to read. Yet kind of elegant. I like. 🙂
Thanks, Edie. I was going for the elegant look. 😉
Nice website.
Thanks, hon. 🙂
I like your new website! Very nice. It looks professional already:) I do have a bit a bad news. I’ll be heading to Virginia instead of ConCarolinas. My brother is still recuperating from his accident and driving my Mom crazy so, it’s nurse/sister/daughter to the rescue:) Maybe next year.
*sniffle* I’m not speaking to you anymore.
Okay, that’s as big of a lie as lies can get. 😆 You know I love you, girlfriend. I completely understand giving your mom a break. Trust me, I do. There will always be time for us to get together, even off the convention/conference circuit. *hugs*
I LOVES me the new colors and layout! It is very easy navigate too. You are good sister!
Thanks, hon! I was worried about the navigation because it might not be fancy enough. But as long as you can get around, then I consider my job done. 😉
It is fancy for me and everybody knows that the world revolves around my taste ;D
Oh, I like it, Marcia! I’ve been thinking I need to revamp my own, and now you’ve convinced me. 🙂
Hope you, Little Bit and granny are all doing well. 🙂
Kate!! Hey girl! 😀
You know I’m going to hit up your website now, right? Let me know if you need any inspiration. I really like creating websites, though it eats a lot of my time. But if I ever lose my job, then I’m going into the “simple”/interim website creation business.
