new look for the website

Posted on | August 10, 2010 | 5 Comments

after years of instructing designers to pare things down and go for extreme minimalism, or should i say mnmlsm?….i have had an abrupt volte-face.

i am tired tired tired of arial and black and white and wide white spaces on the page.
i’ve done that pale discreet subtle natural gentle whispering simple minimal (mnml) thing to death and suddenly one day, i looked at my soap and realised….that isn’t actually what my soap is all about.
my soap is about colours and flowers and fragrance and textures and opulence and a kind of bodacious bohemian nouveau-baroqueness. or is that nouveau-baroquicity?

so, that was the new edict: i want it to look like a psychedelic sixties hippie vw bus, but with a modern edge and some of my favourite motifs sprinkled throughout. striped cats. teapots. trains. flowers. japanese waves. chinese chops.
so, if you are wondering what the recent mayhem on the website is….it’s a trippy, fun, colour-saturated playtime extravanganza.
and i hope you enjoy it as much as i do.

there are still some details to iron out and complete.
my web designer is one of these incredibly busy women and she is in a completely different time zone to me, so we only catch one another for a few minutes at the end of my day and the very beginning of hers.
it will be a week or two before all the pages are perfect.
the important thing is that both shops are back up and running, and we have soap coming out of our ears, for all of your requirements.

and for me, it is back to the soapmines.
