Poetry Occasions Gets a Christmas Make-Over

Those of you that have visited the personalised poetry site Poetry Occasions will hardly recognise it on a return visit from November 30 onwards. November thirty saw the heavyset top bar gone, to be replaced by a lighter and brighter top link bar, which really sets off the vibrant new look. Proprietor and builder of Poetry Occasions Liam Bailey said:

"I am new to website building and learning all the time. I am extremely happy with my second and final attempt. Since I launched the site November 5th I have learned a copious amount (enough to get by anyway) of PHP scripting language and brushed up my html skills, when I was confident I had learned enough to redesign and build my site I hit the drawing board. I am confident that users will be impressed by the site and its new look."

Equally as impressive is the way it works. Poetry Occasions is now split into only four sections, Seasonal, which is currently Christmas Poetry, Love Poetry, Card Verses, all of which are introduced in style on the front page, and Gift Poetry is linked from the top bar. Love poetry and Christmas poetry are unique in that you can select a four verse gift poem or a card verse on the same page.

The new design let's users select their product, be it a 4 line card verse for £0.50 or a 4 verse gift poem for £10.00, they are then directed to the right form to input the information for use in the poem, before then going on to pay for their poem. Those of you who have visited the site will wonder how the number of pages could be chopped so drastically, simple: occasion is now one of the things customers input on the form, users directed to the form from the Christmas poetry page will find the occasion box already filled out for them. Also new is the option to pay for your poem by post and a testimonials page.

More changes come in the form of the new Poetry Occasions blog to display media coverage and Liam Bailey poetry, and a picture gallery feature is also in the pipeline.

Because Christmas shopping can often be stressful, Liam just wanted his customers to be able to find what they were looking for a little easier, and to give his site a fresher feel at the same time. Time will be the greatest judge of whether or not he succeeded.
