Still waiting on the banners/buttons, and there are a couple more pages left to add, but there you go. It's a fairly minimalist design to keep with the book cover - lots of red, black and greys. In case you're wondering, I started several flashier ones, but none of them felt all that comfortable - too over-complicated, too heavy, or looking like we were trying to show off rather than sell a charity book (too much glitz can really go against that). Instead we went with this one, that tries to put much more emphasis on the words and the jacket design than being a fancy website with CSS effects and gratuitious flourishes.
(Note: The Coming Soon bit on the right - a quickly generated image - is just a placeholder until. I'm going to replace it when I've generated up something that will fit in the interim, until we have a link to Lulu's shop or wherever else, but that didn't seem worth holding up the whole deployment for)
I've tested with IE, Firefox, Opera and Safari - any glitches or error messages, let me know, rather than keeping them to yourself.
NOTE: If you have a website that hasn't been flagged up in Meet The Contributors, it's an oversight - let us know and we'll link you up.
