Fishing Lure Site Finished

07.09.06 | Dick | Comment

I finished creating both copy and a website for Flickerbait, which is the name of a Japanese fishing lure that a guy wanted to sell.? This is the first website that I actually created and was paid for. Usually I just write the copy only and don’t get to also do the website.

I was planning to create the site using WordPress, but I found that integrating a shopping cart into WordPress proved to be either too difficult or just not technically feasible, so I created the site using Sitebuilder and using Yahoo’s merchant plan. The guy I made it for really liked it, and so do I.

I especially like the green gradient sidebar, which is a color I matched using photoshop’s eyedropper tool on George Bush’s green shirt as he was rallying the troops in Iraq. That or from a green glass ball from the sea that was for sale on eBay. I can’t remember.

Here’s a closer look at the banner. Those are actual fish that I caught (2 with the flickerbait lure, and 1 with just a regular spinner). I think the fish look pretty cool, especially the one coming head on at you.
