MadeMyDay

Imagine a hotel website. Done? Yeah, most of them look the same ;-)

 

In this project I took another approach. The client is - thank PW - able to (re)create the whole look of his website by changing tiles (images, sizes, texts). The size adapts to the screen size, so on nearly every device the look is different. But not the user experience. After one week online I can say: It works. Thanks to a lot(!) of image material and an engaged client it is one of the biggest sites I've ever made. There is a lot to discover (only german yet, english is due in May). So click around...

Just relaunched my portfolio, of course with PW. It's a one pager but of course everything is editable via PW.

Just wrote a little about why I am here and not there

// fixed URL, sorry.

I am preparing a quote for a customer for a big website (actually 4 websites of a similar kind). After several years of using MODX, I want to build that site in ProcessWire (of course). The client has no problem with switching the system because he trusts in my judgement. The only thing he fears is what if I am not available anymore (accident, sudden fabulous wealth etc.). While there is a good visibility of MODX folks around even in Germany, ProcessWire is new, is young and the common customer doesn't know it. So how can we convince doubtful people about the reliability of PW, how can we - especially in the local market - form as a network of people using PW which are are able to step in if someone can't handle his project anymore?

I think perhaps we could start forming local user groups, starting with countries, later perhaps even cities / regions. The goal could be a listing of people using PW with a small profile (specialized in Backend, Frontend, contact data, hourly rates etc.) so we can show our customers: "Look, these people are using PW every day. These people can step in if I am not able to manage your project." Some kind of assurance and argument against the opinion that we are using a system no one else does.

Opinions?

Came back from holiday, moved in a new office where we want to share the available space with others. So our little coworking project was founded and it needed a website. I started it on friday night and released it finally today (done beside the usual work). It was again a pleasure to use PW for that...

The name of the street is "eagle" which is "Adler" in german. And the eagle's nest is called "horst" usually, but we are a host, so we are the localhost in the "adler"street ... ;-)

(Haven't even looked in IE, but should work, pretty basic and therefore made it more or less responsive in about half an hour)
