My new website, banner and logo !!!

* I'm so excited to announce that my new website is up *

http://www.yuyubear.com/

Finally, I managed to design and create a new website, though it took me much time and effort !! Actually, I was reluctant to do it when I thought of programming and I had no idea of how. Then, I find out that there are user-friendly sites for people to create free websites, most importantly, no programming at all ! 

I was clumsy in the beginning, many ideas popped up and I had to figure out how to incorporate them in my website. So I started with the image I'd like it to project and selected a template to put my stuff on. Then, adding text and photos bit by bit. When it comes to adding clip art, animation and effect, it was the most amusing part (^O^)

Well, you just need to add a few finishing touches and a website is built, even with flash ! When I look back on the process, it's fun. Although I got stuck sometimes, things were finally sorted and I learnt a lot. 

Thanks hubby for making a beautiful banner to be put on my website and blog, and also redesigning the fish shape logo of YuYu Bear (the original one did not have the heart, no wonder it seemed that something was missing), love the change ♥. Besides, I'd like to thank Pinky for her lovely illustration above, with "Y" on foot pads symbolizing YuYu Bear .

Last but not least, you know you are welcome to drop in anytime, looking forward to your visit : )



Bear hugs,
Rita

  1. I'm very pleased to meet you, Rita. Definitely, creating a website will takes a lot of time. The first website I created was when I was 17. I just can't stop laughing how I made those designs using basic HTML codes by using notepad. Thankfully, the Internet saved me, for there are tons of free eBooks and video tutorial to rely on. You should try it out too. About the website you've created, all I can say is that it is a total STUNNER!

  2. You really do adore Bears so much, don't you Rita? I like those Bear dolls also because they're so cuddly and cute! Upon checking your website, I see that it's even livelier than I ever expected it would be. The details are so imposing, and the color choices are great. The header banner you have is also adorable and friendly. Oh! I just can't stop these compliments, please help me! :)

  3. Howdy, Rita? Your website rocks! However, I do hope that you expand your work in a more profitable CMS platform. You truly have the potential to become a great web designer. If you ever consider my suggestion, I’d like you to try working on Wordpress. Web design using that platform is absolutely beneficial. Make sure that when creating one, make it user-friendly and avoid using flashy images.
