I think I'm building a website

[zesty_pinto]

Don't sound that impressed though, I know shit to nothing on it beyond the basics. My dad needs a website for his acupuncture business, and I'm leaning towards Wix since the price is competitive and I'm already familiar with the tools building my own off of it. The price point is identical to what he's paying via Vistaprint so I can edit it more and I can not seem to get the domain out of a redirect loop using its netservers, so I think this is just a safer option.

I'd honestly rather hire someone to build something more basic for his sake, but I can't justify the cost since his business is still so new and the budget would be 200 in that case. I know new businesses usually have to put in more than their usual intake, but I'd rather it be that way.

Work's been less busy. Doesn't mean I'm not less busy though. I set up an air conditioner! I also tweaked the audio equipment better, converted a Gorillapod I never use into a mic stand, and got the backdrop for the picnic up and ready for checking on a backdrop kit that is way too much kit for so little backdrop. No worries!

Okay, going to see about designing some template for my dad before I call it a night.



Or at least stare at these photos I took to convince myself it's still day. Going to be another busy weekend!

Oh my word, those are gorgeous photos, especially the first.

You can thank the new rendering software for that. The age of my previous software is at least three years in difference, so it's definitely showing in the postprod! Now if only I can upgrade my gear as well...

Those are some beautiful pictures and I hope the web design went smoothly

Thanks! It's a mess. Sigh.

It's never a quiet moment for me, but that's just how I roll I guess, ha!

Good luck with the web stuff! Wix is one of those template & hosting services, right? Hopefully they'll make it fairly easy for u!

Thanks! I used them to host my webservices for years when I built my photography website, so I'm familiar with the layout which makes this a lot easier. That the price is more competitive than Squarespace is a nice addition too.

I got a solid template figured out and mostly gutted and rebuilt to my specs (there's a few additional options I will probably play with as well to see if they can work with my dad's setup), but everything's going according to schedule. I'm hoping this will justify what my dad is paying me for this--I think the man knows me well enough to know that paying me on this is going to guilt the hell out of me to make sure I give 110 percent or some other impossibility.
