Happy New Year! No cards went out this year, and I’m just getting this post in on the official French deadline of after-the-31st-it’s-too-late-for-new-year-wishes.
After our big move to Normandy last October, I was overly-ambitious for the holidays, hosting both a Christmas feast and a New Year’s shindig, still piecing together Ikea furniture at the last minute to make sure everyone had a place to sit. A turkey was bought from a neighbor and slaughtered the day before it was roasted. Miniature Christmas stockings were knit.
Somehow during all of the this I managed to work, and in the last couple of weeks launched not one, but two websites! Exciting times!
The first was a brand new site for M2A, specialist in the field of promotional objects. I had done some work for them several years ago for a newsletter project, but this was our first website project together. Another fabulous design by C&C associés.
The second site was actually a lot of firsts. It was the first website ever created for Tout Terrain, a well-established company working in the events business (setup, signalization, consulting, logistics, etc). It was my first freelance collaboration with the very talented Pierre-Alexandre Loy of Spasm Design, also the designer behind Yooko.fr. Finally, it was my first real dabbling with JQuery, once again pushing the limits of WordPress to create some really interesting effects. Oh, and last but not least, my first full-on tackle of PHPlist, including some cool work on templates and custom subscribe pages.
Wishing you all a prosperous 2012, but above all, health, love and happiness.
Bonne année !
