website update | Hugo's Design Latex

New website

25-09-2013

Yes, that is right! a whole new website!!! Second Life is only a small time job I have (or hobby if you will) which I fill my evenings with. I own a webdevelopment company and so I decided to use knowledge to good use and build Hugo's Design a new website. As with all pet projects, it took some time (and then some more time) before it got into a shape where I dared think about publishing it (and so replacing the current website).

As you may notice, this website has a bit more functionality and I'm still not finished (yet). Here's a quick overview on what to find here, what not and what is still to come (if time permits...)

New stuff

photo's: it was a long time goal of mine to be able to add multiple pictures of one set (or set combination) to the website. This way it's easier to show the different combinations and styles to wear and bring some more attention to the HD brand outside of SL.
Pic of the day: Even more pictures, this time a take out of the sets which I really like. Sometimes you'll be able to find early prototypes here too.
Links: over time I'll place banners here to other related blogs and / or brands in SL
FAQ: some frequently asked questions can be found here including an answer

Stuff you already knew

blog / news: I know, I'm not the most regular poster, but I try :)
small stuff like links to SL and the marketplace, twitter messages and the latest Flickr update.

Stuff not yet there

products: still under development (nearly finished), but products will show you the latest releases and maybe over time I'll add the older sets here too, making it into a catalog on what's for sale in SL (the HD store and marketplace).
The new CMS enables me to create different image styles and I want to create new wallpapers through that so those can return on the website for download once again!

Anything left out you want to see here, let me know!

update (02-10-2013): yes, it is true: this website is non-responsive... it's on the wish list :)

website progress

07-02-2008

Yes! All is going to plan. The new part of the website is almost finished. To you, dear visitor, all should look normal when I am finished. On the technique side of it all, a lot has changed. I've integrated the really cool Drupal CMS to make adding new items to this website a lot easier. (Yes I know... only a nerd or web designer will use the words 'cool' and 'cms' in one sentence...) You can already get a preview if you follow this link. I can now tag my items too, so I can add materials and clothing types... If you want to look for a shirt, click 'shirt from the 'categories' menu. If you want to pick a material... Let's say... er... let me think here.... latex for instance... you can pick latex from the materials menu!

Speaking of which... here are three new items, available in-world and on onrez and slechange. The sets are three sets of the same set: Stellar. The first set contains the bikini set, second set contains the (awesome) very detailed corset and panties. The third set contains the corset and a pair of matching pants (and panties and gloves). The sets on these pictures are worn by the lovely model Tillie Ariantho. And finally I managed to install a teleport device on the ground to the store!!! So, when you want to go to the store in-world, al you have to do is follow the SLurl!

Website updates

01-02-2008

As you may have noticed on the website, I haven't updated it lately. I'm currently looking at a way to incorporate some kind of tool to easilly update the items in the collection, and I have found it: Drupal CMS. It will however take me some time to figure it out completely, especially the graphic design of the system... And for the rest of the website... I noticed that some people somehow look over the main menu, and others who use it, look over the sub menu's.... A redesign will need to be made somewhere in the near future.

One more new item has been released: Spark (why use only female names, I figured... ) This is the first complete outfit with a shirt and a pair of pants (and a lovely pair of panties haha..) The set has a 'Trinity - Matrix' kind of look... I hope to get some more stuff done this weekend... We'll see :)
