Many websites remind me of carp ponds. Though perhaps beautifully built, gorgeously designed, full of elegant features and offering neat functions, they are not always involving and seldom intriguing. Furthermore, unlike a real coral reef, they lack any sense of danger or risk. They are less about discovery and exploration and more about search and review. Here, I want to offer a different kind of website: one that invites you on a journey of discovery; one that presents an ever changing display of colour and movement; one that you can drift through at your leisure or explore to its furthest limits. This website is not a carp pond, it’s a web aquarium.
In my webarium there are three kinds of aquatic life. Flitting gracefully between enchanting concepts and colourful prose, we have the Storytelling fish. Stretching out their long sticky tentacles to grasp and entrap knowledge and wisdom we have the anemones of Science. Finally, busily creating a new pearlescent world for us all to live in, we find the inventive Design oysters. However, this isn’t everything. No aquarium would be complete without pumps and filters and lights and stuff. These are represented by this website itself, which qualifies as a creative project ‘work in progress’ in its own right.
So, I hope you have lots of fun gawping mesmerized into the (very occasionally slightly murky) waters and look forward to you subscribing to the newsletter to receive advanced news about each curious new webatic life form that I introduce.
