Don't Forget Laurie?
By QBlog in
In March I mentioned that Orrin Woodward redesigned his personal Web site. It was a vast improvement over the previous site design and is pretty cool. I like it a lot (with only one design complaint that I won't bring up again).
Anyway, Woodward obviously spent some time and money into improving his Web site but I noticed that his wife's site, LaurieWoodward.com, still looks like total crap. I don't have any inside info but I'd bet a nickel that both sites are hosted on the same server. And I'd also bet that throwing the new OW template onto Laurie's site wouldn't take much effort at all. Ok, you'd probably have to swap out the header with a picture of Laurie but you could do that with a graphic, no need to repeat the Flash animation header gizmo.
So, why did Orrin redesign his site to look great but leave his wife's site looking like crap? No idea. Maybe he just doesn't have time? Maybe his wife really doesn't care about the Web site (my wife has virtually no interest in Web stuff... go figure)? Maybe they're planning an even cooler redesign for Laurie? No idea and it really doesn't mean anything but I notice stuff like this because frankly, I'm a Web nerd.
