My Thoughts On Being A Web Master

For well over a year now, we’ve gone to dinner at Capparelli’s on Main nearly every weekend. It’s a local Italian restaurant. In the evening on weekends, they always have music. Quite often it has been Two for the Road. They are 2 guys playing piano and guitar and singing.

Then sometime in April, we got to talking about websites. They’ve been wanting one, but didn’t have the time to build it themselves. An idea was born, and this is the result:

Chris and Jerry play a wide range of music; everything from the ’50s on up to recent tunes. They’re great entertainers. Often, while we’re dining, we look around and see quite a few people singing along - me included.

For this design, I was given a business card and told that they wanted to keep the logo. Here’s the card:

I took the gold color, combined it with black and found some music symbols. The line at the bottom of the page “The more you drink… the better we sound” was my suggestion. Every time we’ve seen them play, they have said that at least once!

Check out their site. You can view the calendar to see where they’re going to be. On the music page you can hear clips of some of their songs.

The image below shows a sign outside a local bead store - And The Bead Goes On - located in Bracken Village, Texas. It was designed by bwh Web Designs and it follows the theme of their website - AndTheBeadGoesOnline.com - and business cards.

TracyAndNina.com

Filed under: WebSites — bwh @ 7:22 pm

This is a website I created for my step-daughter and her fiance: Tracy And Nina.(BTW that’s pronounce Nine-ah, not Neena)

They’ve been planning this wedding for quite some time and I believe it is going to be a great event. Not sure what role they play, but Nina mentioned they will even have kazoos!

For this design, I was given only a few parameters and then I had full reign on the site. I asked about colors and was told “yellow” or more specifically butter. (Or “buttah” as my friend Neta would say.) And also blue - since I needed more than one color.

The font I used for the top of the site matches their wedding invitations. The infinity symbol at the bottom of each page also matches the invitations. Nina sent me all the pictures that are on the site’s main pages. Turns out that most of the pictures were taken by either me or my husband - Nina’s father.

For me, building this site was a labor of love. It was quite fun building it. And, it was my wedding present to Tracy and Nina.
