Wish Me Luck

Inspired in part by having been looking at web sites (and surprisingly often lack thereof) of prospective competitors, I’m taking a break from my main other and dire task of billing to work on the web site for the new business.  For the time being at least, it’s in Wordpress, even though I don’t anticipate the front page being bloggy.

The template I tossed up there originally is called Pool.  I had come up with a possible background color several months ago, and used it to doodle possible headers before I even decided I should use the version of the name ending in an S, rather than being singlular (I got both domains in case).  The sandy color is based on an actual shade in which medical scrubs are available.  I used black in the old graphic, but I’d been thinking of adopting a maroon shade as a text and or uniform shirt color along the line.  The blue text you see in the graphic is an artifact of Pool, and while it might not be the worst thing, I expect it to change.  Perhaps the maroon…

The background color is from the effects I had applied to the text of the doodled header, sampling the color that created.  I may or may (probably) not apply similar effects this time.  The tagline is also an artifact.  I had come up with multiple and was thinking of rotating them.  So it could be none, could be a single one I decide on, or could become a fancy rotating tagline trick.

Mostly I want to keep it simple without seeming amateur or lame.  Even some of the otherwise better sites have menu links that do nothing, pages that contain nothing, use frames, or that kind of thing.

Anyway, here’s the crude preview…

As soon as I get a drink, put in the window fan and/or point the other fan more directly at me, and settle back in, I’ll start trying to redo the theme.  Which mostly happens offline, but if you look you might see progress, like color changes and such.  The image above is the link to the construction site.

In other news, one of my computer parts vendors got bought and the new location for pickup will be in Norwood instead of Woburn.  Yay!  I’m going to have to keep stocking and being able to get parts, even though I don’t plan a storefront per se.  I was thinking of going back to the place in Woburn, as the place in Wilmington seems uninterested in my volume of business, or something.  We’re talking 33 miles and 37 minutes, versus 51 miles and 65 minutes.  I’m considering leaving the old business unliquidated and intact for the purpose of being a reseller.  We’ll see.

Okay, off to it!
