Set for launch...

I feel like I've been talking about the 'forthcoming Nemesis website' for years. Hell, maybe I have. I forget. The delays have all been my doing, but mainly we've been waiting for the right time to launch.

With our first book (other than the Arbory School book published last year, which was a community project) due out in October, that time has now arrived. The web chaps at Isle of Man Advertising & PR have done a great job (with infinite patience...) and, all being well, we're looking to launch the website within the next week or so.

They've just completed moving the site over to a new content management system and today young Dan was putting the final touches to the design for the blog - which means that, yes, this blog will soon cease to exist, to be replaced by a new one within the website.

As with any project that you're about to inflict on the public, there's some trepidation. Is the website design as cool as we think it is? Is the text pitched at the right level? Does it contain the right information - for both readers and writers? I could go on, but you get the picture.

We've studied other publishers' websites, trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. In the end, we've just got to get it out there and wait for the feedback to come in, which will, of course, be most welcome.

So, stay tuned here for now. We're almost there...
