ShowQuill.com: a new site, a warm welcome, and what to expect
There's a new name on the Lifespan Network, and we'd love you to be among the first to say hello. ShowQuill.com is now part of the family of sites we look after, and this post is a quick, friendly introduction to what it is and how to make the most of it.
Meet ShowQuill.com
Like the other sites we publish, ShowQuill.com is a small, focused project built with real people in mind. The name pairs two ideas that sit nicely together: show, as in sharing something with others, and quill, the classic pen of the writer. It's a name that tells you a good deal about the spirit of the place, which is about putting things down clearly and presenting them well.
We try to keep every site in the network easy to understand from the first visit. You shouldn't need a guide to find your way around, and you shouldn't have to learn anything new before you can start. If you've enjoyed browsing our other sites, you'll feel at home here.
How we think about every site we build
Whether it's a game, a family organiser or a local information site, we work to the same few principles. They apply to ShowQuill.com just as they do to everything else we publish.
- Plain English. Pages say what they mean, in words you'd use yourself.
- Easy to move around. Clear headings and a sensible layout, so you can find what you came for quickly.
- Family-friendly. Everything we publish is meant to suit a mixed audience, from curious beginners to long-time regulars.
- Room to grow. We'd rather launch something simple and useful, then improve it with your help.
Getting started
Take a first look around
Visit ShowQuill.com on whichever device is closest to hand. Start at the home page, read the headings, and follow whatever catches your eye. There's no right order, and you can't get lost for long.
Bookmark it
If you like what you find, save the site to your browser's bookmarks or favourites so it's a single click away next time. On a phone or tablet, you can also add it to your home screen for quicker access. We've shared a step-by-step guide to doing exactly that for another of our sites, and the same idea works for most websites.
Come back often
New sites change quickly in their early days. Pages get tidied, wording gets sharper and small improvements arrive regularly. A return visit in a few weeks may well show you something different.
Part of a bigger family
ShowQuill.com sits alongside the other sites in the Lifespan network. Between them they cover games to play, tools to help you plan your week, and local and community pages. Each one has its own personality, but they share the same approach: keep it useful, keep it friendly and keep it simple.
If you already use one of our sites, you may notice the family resemblance. We like consistency because it makes things less effort for you. Once you know how one site feels, the next one is easier to pick up.
What's coming next
We see a launch as the start of the story rather than the end of it. Over the coming weeks and months we'll keep reviewing how the site is being used, fixing anything that gets in the way and adding improvements where they'll help most. When there's something worth announcing, you'll find it right here on the Lifespan Software Blog.
We'd rather be honest than hypey, so we won't promise more than we can deliver. What we can promise is that we'll keep listening and keep making things a little better each time.
Tell us what you think
The best ideas often come from the people using a site every day. If something is confusing, if you spot a mistake, or if there's something you'd love to see, please get in touch through the Contact page on our network. Short notes are just as welcome as long ones, and we read them all.
Useful feedback might include:
- Anything that was hard to find or hard to understand.
- Pages that looked odd on your phone, tablet or computer.
- Features or topics you'd like to see added.
- Things you enjoyed, so we know what to keep.
Say hello to ShowQuill.com
That's the short version: a new site, built with care, and open to everyone. We'd love you to pay it a visit, take your time looking around and let us know how you get on.
Visit ShowQuill.com today, bookmark it if you like it, and keep an eye on this blog for news as it grows.
