Peter’s been working all summer on making the managing aspect of my website easier for me to handle and also organizing the layout and categories, and I’m so excited to be using it soon! But the design stumped us both. I had an idea of what I wanted it to look like, but no clear concept of what could work.
Jane moved home from college this summer after living away for five years and it’s been great to see the beautiful person she is and to get to know her better. It was of her time and amazing creativity that I asked her to help me with the design of my website so I asked her to dinner last night. She graciously fed Ian in his highchair while having a wonderful conversation with me between spoonfuls for the baby and the boy’s interruptions. Then she sat down at my computer and after sketching a general idea of what she had in mind, took a few images from my files, asked me to write “Streetpoet”, used some crazy Photoshop skills and voila! this amazing design is born. I am in awe of her creative ability. She honestly has a gift from the Lord and I’m so honored that she has given her time and talent to help me.
This is just the “first sketch” as Jane calls it. Peter is taking it apart layer by layer and building it into my new site and making it come to life!
As Jane was sitting here with me Seth came up and asked “Is that your website Mommy?” and when I answered yes it is he asked, “Does it have webs?”. 🙂
