I'm sure you all remember my company's web page:

Russell Jones & Walker

Now, I'm delighted to offer you a sneak preview of my own version:

Russell Jones & Walker - The Next Generation

But in fact this will be the only chance you get to see it, because it's not going to be used. Despite being (I'm assured by everyone) at least marginally better than what we've got at the moment.

Instead, it's been rejected (without telling me as such, naturally) in favour of something the IT Director can actually take credit for, namely getting quotes from companies to do it. Like he's been doing for the past year. And doing nothing else about it.

Enjoy.

Well, I finally got to see it. You're right, it does look better.

I'm very proud of it. I don't claim to be brilliant at web design, and it took me a lot of work.

Have you thought of sueing for breach of promise

It's excellent. Forget the pork chops, at least you know you can do it.

Oh, it gets better. Everyone's Internet Explorer defaults to our developmental Intranet page. But today the same twat who's been causing the gruef comes rushing in and announces they shouldn't have access ot the Intranet yet. He wants us to go round and stop everyone's IE pointing to the page. Bugger that, we think, and replace the whole caboodle with a single "Under Construction" page I whipped up using MY design concept.

Even if they insist on keeping the lavender bathroom perfume color or whatever it is supposed to represent, it could be modified by decreasing the saturation in HLS or taking away some red and blue. Screen colors are often much more obtrusive than the matching print colors. Anyway, your design and color is much better, in fact it looks professional in contrast to the old one. Professional, this is what a law office is supposed to look like in the first place, isn't it?

Yes, well, if you mention the word 'professional' to this lot they'll look blank and ask what TV shows about a branch of governmenty called CI5 have to do with anything. . . 8)

The blue/gray on my page is the best representation I can get of the blues and grays they use onleaflets and stationery. Only not as crap.

"Our Specialist Areas": Wasn't there a TV series called "The Specialists" as well?

And what would you answer just in case someone of them tells you they have to run an enterprise?
 


Posted by The First One (Member # 35) on :
 
I don't remember any show called "The Specialists," but then there were a lot of 60s shows with names similar - Avengers, Persuaders, etc. There was "The Specialist" starring Sly Stallone. . . 8)

I have considered hiding a little in-joke somewhere, but haven't had any ideas yet.

What if we tell you a word that must be in the webpage, let's say, "Steamrunner".
 
Posted by The First One (Member # 35) on :
 
Actually, that would be a good word, especially since it's got no other meaning that anyone's been able to identify apart from "weird looking Trek ship designed by Alex Jaeger." Or maybe that would be too obvious, I dunno. What does everyone think?

Words to try and incorporate into serious content:

buttock
squeezable
albatross
lemming
multi-tasking
pseudo-adiabatic
contrafibularities

and the perennial favourite
engage.

Or it could just be the drink talking, as I am a little tipsy this evening. *bangs head on doorway on way out*
