Long time no write
I am sorry that I have neglected Shed 18 Report for a long time but I hope to write more regularly in 2008.
Recapping, Shed 18 is dedicated to building good websites for all purposes, from family and hobby sites thro’ personal business websites, hence our slogan “Building Websites for Pleasure or Profit”
I have had a good career as an engineering design engineer but am now retired. Starting a new engineering design involved starting with a clean sheet of paper on the drawing board. The designs I produced were entirely mine, from first concepts to overseeing the manufacture on the workshop floor. Then delivery to the customer and making sure that the product performed as per specification and that the customer was entirely happy.
Website building is very similar and has filled the need for me to produce products that are appealing and fit for the purpose for which they were designed. They involve writing, photography, graphics, layout and other skills that I didn’t know I could learn, such as audio and video. It’s been, and still is, a fantastic journey with no fixed frontiers; there’s always something new to learn or try out.
And yet, for all this, building websites is a cheap hobby when compared to most others and doesn’t involve getting your hands dirty. In fact, spend a minute or so firing up the computer, spend as long as you like enjoying the work. When it’s time to stop, just tidy your files and shut down the computer. No gardening tools to clean and put away; no wood chips to sweep up and dispose of. Heaven!!
I don’t pretend to know everything there is to know about building websites, does anyone?, but I’m constantly trying new stuff and experimenting with programs. Shed 18 a sells a range of superb software for use in building or promoting websites. The software is easy to use and comes with support and a guarantee. There is new software added every month.
