Mrs. Hawking website goes live

[breakinglight11]

I've been working on it on and off for weeks and weeks now, and it's not one hundred percent filled out the way I want it to be, but I think it's at the point where it's safe to say that my planned Mrs. Hawking website has gone live. For those of you who don't know, my full-length play "Mrs. Hawking" is about Victorian ladies who secretly solve mysteries and right injustices perpetrated on those ladies that society has dealt an unfair hand. It's a high-action adventure with a lot of great character set in a colorful period milieu, and has had pretty damn good responses from all the people who have read or heard it.

As I've mentioned, I want to spread the knowledge and interest of this project as far as I can so I have a chance of taking it to the next level. So I'm using this website to spread that. At the moment, it mostly just has background stuff, including the actual text of the script and the production history thus far. But I want to keep a steady stream of new info, updates, behind the scenes stuff, commentary on the events and characters, that sort of thing. Like a real fan site. I'm even going to migrate the relevant entries from this blog there, and include any new musings there as well.

The website is just made with Wordpress, as I'm not especially knowledgeable as a web designer. Maybe I'll hire somebody who knows better than me to remake it for me the way I really envision it, but this is all right to begin. I also want to wrangle my lovely models Frances and Charlotte to take more images of the characters. I will be adding and updating from here on to make it as appealing and informative as possible.

So, if you're a fan of Mrs. Hawking and the related world, here is your resource, which you can find at www.mrshawking.com. And be sure to tell your friends!

Nothing wrong with using WP for this. Lots of sites use WP as the backing engine. It's a lot faster, easier, cheaper, and often better than building something custom and specific.

In general, I really like the site, but you might want to tighten up the header image, it is very tall so takes up a lot of the window. Just an unsolicited opinion.

Actually I really appreciate the feedback, so thank you! I will see if I can size down the header a bit. I want the site to be very user-friendly as aesthetic.

Thank you so much! I will be shortly wrangling you to take more pictures for it, as you are a lovely and important muse.

Aw, thank you. Good to know I'm keeping my hair long for some reason other than laziness. :P
