Here’s the story of the creation and launch of a completely brand new, from-the-ground-up website in 10 lines of dialogue:
ME: This is going to be hard.
TEAM: It should be pretty straightforward.
ME: I like this font.
TEAM: OK.
ME: Let’s plan for a mid-March launch. What could go wrong?
(Enter Pandemic.)
ME: I need to figure out who I am now and what I’m doing.
TEAM: We need to finish this site.
ME: We need to add 50 pages and a membership area.
(Joel, the web developer lies on floor with a cold pack on his head. Kate, the business manager, briefly considers moving to New Zealand and becoming a zip line guide.)
TEAM: K. You need to pay us more. Also, your font requires 10 lines of code.
ME: Change the font. Take your time. Also, when will it be ready?
…It is now! The new territrespicio.com site is up and active. I think it even created its own Tinder profile already.
Huzzah!
Would love to hear what you think (and if you come across anything that’s broken or not working, give me a heads up so I can make sure Joel and Kate have Advil and/or Malbec on hand).
