I've been busy working on a new site design for the Gypsy Tour Motorcycle Classic during some spare (or found) hours in the last few days. So far it's not approved (or even asked for), but I'm confident they'll like the results.
If I get to do the site for next year it'll be a lot more spiffy, but for now this goes pretty good. My primary goals are to get the site up in search rankings, make it more navigable, and put more usable information. My friend Jimmy suggested the possibility of selling advertising spots on some of the pages, so I've built that possibility.
Another cool feature is the use of embedded Google maps in popup windows that allow users to pick from a variety of routes from each direction. I will likely use an image map to link these up as it makes the behaviors easier to handle in Dreamweaver. It'll be slicker that way, too.
None of it is at this point approved, but I think it'll go over well. I hope to stop by on the way to work in the morning and get them to give it a look.

Bring 'em some Mars Hill coffee, too? A sure sales closer! ;)
Rupert, thanks for giving me a sneak-preview of the site you've been putting together for GTMC - I'm impressed at how quickly and thoroughly you put together a web design package for your client that is sure to impress, and can give their event an added potential for spreading the word.
I know you've been building some good SEO into it, and keeping the audience in mind with the "goodies" like the map directions and the event history, spiced with some Rupert-dry-humor.
I'm hoping we'll all get to hear the good news at your next blogging opportunity.
