When I started Peace of Mind Organizing® in 2005, the first thing I did was join NAPO. The second thing I did was start working on my website. I found an amazing designer, Nora Brown, who is the niece of my BFF, Sally Brown. Nora was just starting her web-design business back then so her rates were quite affordable.
The design she created for Peace of Mind Organizing was fabulous then and it’s still fabulous. I have never been tempted to change it, not even once. A ten-year-old website is ancient, of course. (It’s like a 20-year-old dog!) As good as it was, one thing that the original design didn’t include, of course, was mobile responsiveness. Before now, if you wanted to read my website on your smartphone, you just had to zoom in.
So I asked Nora—who retired her web-design business in favor of a full-time job—if she would help make the site mobile responsive. My website holds a special place in her heart, so she said yes. This week we premiered the new design.
If you’re viewing the website and blog on your computer, you might notice slight changes in typography and sidebar placement. But if you’re looking at it on a smartphone or tablet, you’ll notice a huge change. I think she did an amazing job with it. I’m just thrilled that my site viewed on a mobile device is as good as the desktop version.
The next step in the site’s transformation is to move it from the Textpattern platform to Wordpress. Then, I hope, I’ll be done fiddling with it for awhile.
Thank you, Nora!
