brand new thinking
This isn’t usually a blog for work but in the spirit of ‘things of interest’, the new Being-Digital new website (designed and built by us) launched earlier this week.
Being-Digital is a conference for the discerning digital beings amongst us. Hopefully a place to garner some knowledge and mingle with the digiteratti. Amanda will be in attendance as a panellist, probably without the pink cowboy hat.
More info on the website and digital brochure.
A little while ago I added a vote for your favourite Web App button on here. Now the results are in. My particular favourites are Mint and Basecamp and of course WordPress. Surprisingly FaceBook is only number 4 although it does seem to be going through a ‘it’s got too big let’s knock it down’ phase at the moment.
If you’re into web apps (and why wouldn’t you be?) you can vote for your favourite and have a chance to win a wii.
Just click on the box at the top and it’ll take you to the voting form.

Today, John Lewis unveiled their new website. I’ve used their ‘old’ (yesterday’s) version a few times and always found it very good if a little light in the product area. Apparently this new version will have nearly double the product range, up from 22,000 products to 41,000 and will be edited frequently so that should take care of that. An excuse for some retail therapy anyway.
One thing that has always stood John Lewis apart is the quality of their photography, it actually looks like some effort has been made to specifically shoot and repro their images for the web, other (r)etailers should take note.
Here’s a comparison of their old and new landing pages, and just for the sake of completion an image of the launch email.
Meanwhile back on the other side of etail here’s Matalan’s version.
