Today I heard back from the manufacturer on details of how I am allowed to use their brand. Thankfully everything I had designed so far was right inline with my ability to use their brand. In fact they are allowing me to use more materials than I had originally planned which is helping the web site come along.
Besides making great progress on the design of the micro site, I also setup the web hosting, purchased a domain name, and setup Google Analytics. Hopefully between tonight and tomorrow I will be able to finish the design and start developing the site. At this point is seems fairly likely that I am investing a bit too much into the micro site, but I do enjoy designing and implementing web sites so it seems like a reasonable use of my time.
Hey Nathan, it looks like we’re at almost the exact same stage! I just finished the google adwords and analytics setup for my micro test site. I did use shopify because it saved me from having to build a site or do the domain stuff. I’m a java/web developer, but I always get caught up in those details and waste time; so, I took that out. I’ll be running the test tomorrow once I get the new images on my site. I hope everything goes well for you.
I hear you on the getting caught up in details. I am trying to be careful not to do that on the many different pieces as that is usually were ideas fall apart for me.
Allocating more than an hour a day has been the challenge during the week. Along all the little family things that make life exciting.
I would definitely enjoy to hear how your muse goes for you. Is this your first muse?
