Website is almost finished

Its been a work in progress, filled with love as its a family run business and I am very much part of that family.

Les and Michele like what they see, and I am happy with the site too. Just have a few more new images to add and then it will replace the current www.argyllchalets.co.uk site.

So if you are reading this post in a few weeks time you won't be able to compare the old with the new anymore!

Here is the link to the new web page, which is still very much in the process of testing so please do come to me if you do find any bugs (hopefully not)

Thanks to my sister Annie, for reading over the content as sometimes I really cannot see the wood for the trees anymore!

I am maybe going to head off to visit the Falls of Dochart today, I don't know why but for some reason I have been itching to go all week.

Logo Design #2

OK  I realised I have till 5pm today to get my logo designs in, and I think I need the thistle in the background. I have had some really positive feedback about using the thistle as the 'o' as well so I have kept that for one of my mock ups;

hard edges but white not so visible
caused perception probs in some people
the white text is less visible
My favourite and the text is the most visible.
 I hope to hand in the last one here, and link them to my blog in case they want to see my other mock ups.

Going to flatten the ai. and send the PNG file image as I assume it would need to be an image optimised for the web.
Don't forget to contact me if you too need a logo or website!

Working on Argyll Chalets

I am totally enjoying working on Argyll Chalets website! It feels so good to be putting my skills to use again, amongst the tiredness and other prego symptoms I think I am managing it all really well.

So far, I have worked on the advertising campaign and right now I am working on the revamp and rewriting some content with keywords.

I wanted to share some images of the site with you all to see how beautiful and picturesque the area truly is. I love it and I'm not just saying that because its my partners dads place. haha.

Starting Work on Argyll Chalets

www.argyllchalets.co.uk    is a business very dear to my heart. Run by Les and Michele Reay and set in the heart of Scotland in Argyll.

I have had many wonderful holidays there and will always want to go back. Its the perfect place to begin your holiday in Scotland. You literally can do anything you want. I have enjoyed fishing trips with my partner Martin and the rest of the family.

Simon and Martin (my love)
Now I am beginning work on their website too!
But before I get into that let me share some more holiday snaps.

 As you can see there is much to do on the Loch without even leaving the area. Have you been on holiday there too? Why not share your pictures with us on facebook.
