I just launched site #2 of the week. randomuser helped me a lot with this one. It's for a romance novel author and her sexy, sexy books. It's only 4am. Not bad.

I'm actually pretty proud of this one. The design didn't get destroyed. The client was a delight to work with. I used CouchCMS again which means I got to just crank out clean and semantic HTML/CSS and not fuck with the layers and layers and shitshow that is Wordpress, et al. And the invoices were paid within 24 hours. If only every client, and project, could be this fucking awesome.

Goodnight. I'm going to sleep for a few hours before i get on the phone again to drum up some more business.

Lol, I think my favorite part about working on this was the titles. Inheriting a bride, roping a billionaire, order a bride, lassos a bride...

I mean, you aren't wrong, but... what kind of porn do you consume? Surely the objects of your fantasies are super-idealistic to somebody. At the end of the day, these self-indulgent fictions (whether written, graphic, etc) are mental happy places that I think people should be allowed to enjoy without fear of reprisal or offense to others, so long as everything that goes into the making of them is legal and consent-driven.

I was making a half joke about the utterly ripped men on the covers of those books.

Porn? I actually avoid it. Probably a different topic for a different thread, but I'm in the porn probably isn't very good for you camp.
