Website launch party
Loic Robertson February 25th, 2008
After many, many months of work, the new Audley website is up and running. It’s always a bit of an anti-climax when a project you’ve been working on for so long comes to an end.
In the days and hours leading up to the “big day”, colleagues around the Audley office would come up to me and ask if we have some big red button which we press to make it all live! They had visions of the old website dissolving into the great internet abyss, lights dimming and flickering as the new website gradually takes form on the screen.
The truth is much less exciting than that - we edit a number on a screen and…erm, that’s it. Within a few hours the new site is live around the world. End of story!
Of course the anti-climax of it all didn’t stop us from having a little launch party here at the office. Everyone from around the building was invited for a lovely buffet lunch and a game of Nintendo Wii tennis which we beamed onto a large wall with an overhead projector!
As with all websites, there isn’t really an end. Websites are never complete. After a couple of weeks of settling in, fixing the odd bug and improving the way things work, we will start on the next phase of the site.
This is but the start and we have some great ideas lined up to make the site truly unique. Watch this space!
