our website - a project in its own right    by Kate

Picture
It has recently occurred to us that as well as the things we are doing out there in the wider world, it would be fair to regard our website not only as a way of reporting on our various projects, but also as a project in its own right.

This page shares our vision for how we want it to be currently and in the future. 

We want our website to be a place where people come to be inspired with new ideas and possibilities. You may have noticed that a lot of our content promotes others' work and points you off to different sites on the web. Whilst this is not great for our stats (I think it is called 'exit' or 'bounce' rate on Google Analytics and getting to grips with all that is another whole project in its own right!), but if it means you find something which you wouldn't otherwise have found and this makes a positive difference to what you're thinking, feeling or doing then we're happy!

We also want our website to function as a point of contact for people who should know about each other and be in touch. This networking function is extremely important to us as we have seen over and over again how much we all need others for support and encouragement, and what magic can result  when people find each other and the creative sparks start flying!

There are other things we want our website to do, and we'll add content to this page as we go along. But for now a last point: you may have noticed is that we're not selling anything, we don't have google ads popping up all over the place, and the time and effort we put in on this is a labour of love. But we do want to make a request of you... We would LOVE to know more about the people who are visiting us already which, according to our host's stats, is about 100 unique visitors a day. We need to know what you think of what you are finding and what you want more of. It is easy to let us know - drop us a line or two on our contact form:

    Thank you very much!
