I’m not a website designer, I’ve never claimed to have that artistic eye. Literally, “eye”, I only have one functioning eye. After 8 years of 3dgtower.com running on the same single-page WordPress theme, I decided to switch things over to a basic Bootstrap based theme framework. I figured with the rate that everything else is trying to be classic and retro, I’ll do the same thing with a no-frills, no-eye-candy, no BS website. I do believe that I’ve 🅝🅐🅘🅛🅔🅓 🅘🅣!!!
Why the throwback to the year 2000? Basically, the web has become an annoying place for anybody just searching for information. Every website is full of animations and other visual distractions these days. Who the hell ever came up with the idea to have a bunch of looping videos or animations as a site background and slap text boxes on top of that? Sorry, I refuse to become a member of that club. If you like animations that much, go watch some Looney Tunes.
Anyhoo, the site has been stripped down to one page for 3D G-Tower info, one for Climate Czar info, and an Ordering page. This should cut down on the number of emails I get asking for info on those 3 things regularly. The video that I embedded as the sole home page content should answer the rest of the questions that I get on a regular basis. Really, it seems like people just stopped looking for this information on their own and headed straight for the contact form.
I’ve trimmed things down a bit on the Ordering page because of code changes that require new printed circuit boards to be designed and ordered for some devices. The CZ Combo Hub and CZ Pellet Stove Controller will return as soon as I get all of my fall maintenance and planting in the greenhouse finished up. This has been a heck of a year for code rewrites and greenhouse modifications, so I’m just a wee bit overwhelmed at this time. But, I’m slowly catching up.
