Thread Name: Catters websites
Subject: RE: Catters websites
I don't have a personal site (I find my own life very interesting, but I doubt if anyone else would), but I do run a couple of sites for organisations I'm involved with.

folk-network.com belongs to the South Riding Folk Network, and is intended as an information resource, so it's mostly text. I didn't build the original site, so the appearance doesn't reflect my own ideas about design, but I've added a lot of content since taking it over. I intend eventually to take it out of frames, but that's going to involve quite a lot of re-designing, so it isn't likely to happen soon; the constant struggle to keep what's there already reasonably up-to-date is enough just now.

There's also yorkshire-folk-arts.com, this time belonging to Yorkshire Folk Arts. This one I did actually design myself (except for the logo), with the intention of keeping it very simple and clear. It should display in whatever font the viewer's browser uses as a default. Just a very small one as yet, and with no photos for the time being; we should soon have a development worker, though, who I hope will be adding content and perhaps some design input as well.

There's always a risk that I might have to advertise for work in the future, though, so I have a domain name registered in case I need it. Meanwhile, it turns out that I have work samples online that I've only just discovered; though they're rough scans from old copies of Oink! comic of some 16 years ago (my style has moved on a bit since then!) when I was still working as J.T. Dogg. They're at Rob Sedgebeer's site: Oink! Online:

The Streethogs (first series).

There's other stuff lurking about out there, too, but I'm not sure where.
