My brand new website - and the perils of perfectionism..

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the past year or so, I've been working on a new website for <a href="http://www.driftwoodinteriors.com.au/" target="_blank">Driftwood Interiors</a>. What I thought would be a fairly straightforward process (I knew how I wanted my site to look, how hard could it be?) was anything but. I had no idea of the work involved, the countless decisions to be made, or the sheer hard slog that goes into creating a site that works both visually <i>and</i> practically. Add the fact that I'm a terrible perfectionist and you get a never-ending cycle of not being 100% happy with at least something...</span><br /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But enough is enough. I've decided to bite the bullet and let everyone know about my new website. There have been many, many changes since it (very quietly) went live, and there are still a few more to come.
