Creating sanctuaries is business gold dust
I was listening to the ambient radio channel Groove Salad tonight (I still think there should be a law making people play ambient music after a certain time of night) and it hit me how important my own sanctuary is. I am talking about the way I’ve created my own island space where I see out most of my day. Having a home and office combined means I’m lucky enough to be able to decide my own space in this way.
Optimisation through stripping
One the things you always want to do as a business and as a person is to optimise yourself. There are so many things ‘going on’ and we all accumulate baggage that just hangs there like left over Christmas bulge. For some reason the onset of Spring has this weird shedding and readressing effect in me. I don’t think I’m the only one that gets the urge to spring clean and my cleaning usually surrounds my sites, my business and less actual getting soap and water out to clean down cupboards.
Frooition form
Part of what keeps me interested in design is the attention to small details that gives things a lift. I really like the little features you can add that take things to another level. One of the historically yawnsomest areas of website design has been forms. Whilst with css and other things there are always ways to cheer up forms, it’s still often a last minute thought. Not in the case of Frooition and their register interest form.
