Very long lockdown hair
Communication Platform Discord – https://discord.com

Gordon’s adult magician performing stage name
Over 1 year in the planning
Needing to be done for many years
The original was limited by the technology available
Lockdown was the catalyst to making this a priority
We used Oxygen to build this site, and it took a while for Gordon to build as it was a new builder for him
Testing on hundreds of devices is just not possible so tweaks are always needed
After putting it live, added image compressor, pre-loading pages, CDN, sitemaps
Had some comments back after posting the link on Facebook
Entertainer friend said it didn’t have enough “Pizazz” although for the target market I was also told it was perfect – very corporate and professional
Please take a look and leave your comments below
Take away is to get feedback and look at it in context.
Make sure you respect the views of the people giving the feedback, and whether they are your target audience
Also – don’t be precious on your work, have an open mind and be prepared to change things and ideas if there are good reasons to do so.
May need to split test the site – but we need traffic first which isn’t going to happen during lockdown
