WOW
Wow is really how I feel. We posted the new site this afternoon after some pretty intense days and nights of writing, sizing and coding. I did not do the coding. It was the brilliant guys at Evosite who deisgned and built the site. Unless you have a shoot you only see the top of this iceberg. It is when you go inside to order that the details really shows.

So, unable to contain my excitement and needing to keep some promises about our launch date, we agreed to go live, knowing we had about 10% left to do. I emailed about twenty of my friends to check out the new site at www.thewildhighlander.com asking for feedback. You just do not expect a reply to that question… just the usual ‘jolly nice, off you go…’
I have been astonished with the care of your responses. From details on the site code, the site behaviour on different browsers, the layout, the bad english, the quality of the offering, you have really done me proud. I have allowed a week to get in control of the content management system from my end, to draft more of the details, take more product stock images and generally tighten things up but now that we have all your ideas and observations, it makes it much easier.
Obviously our most direct analyst has been my sales and marketing director who remains convinced that I shall be sectioned if I continue to unload the excess of truth I have obviously been sharing. I think by the second week of solid work and an all nighter, I was a bit like Bill Murray in Stripes. As a good friend of mine says – dont publish until you have slept on it – what is sleep? Expect a much more ‘approachable’ set of copy by the end of next week.
Our thanks to everyone who has given feedback and to anyone who still would like to contribute. All gratefully and now humbly accepted.
Keep in touch
