What a day. First, the pilliated woodpecker, then a very sweet email from my nephew and finally...
Six months after I proposed it and started designing it, the new homepage of our company finally went live.
It's been hugely nerve-wracking. It would have been bad enough if they had just asked me to do it, but it was my initiative that it happened at all. I explained to management exactly why I thought the current homepage wasn't working and what we could do to improve it. Somehow, this made me more uptight about the whole process, even after they signed off on the idea. I kept waiting for someone to say, "Why are you wasting money and time on this? There's nothing wrong with the current site!"
Then, I got pulled off the job all summer due to other deadlines, then I couldn't get the marketing director to do necessary rewrites to linked pages (they still have temporary text)...
BUT WE'RE LIVE.
I need a drink.
