Pleased that doing a bit of work with Measured is an opportunity to use their open source visual editor, Puck. It might only be at version 0.16.0, but it’s a lovely way to put good things on the web.

State of the Browser provided much mind-fodder. Predictably, this meant revisiting the Ravn website’s content and messaging.

Have a few seeds of blog posts in the works now. Also need: case studies, and portfolio-esque matter.

Side note: Site CSS here (not Ravn) updated because I’d missed permalink post headers. Now fixed.

For posterity, here are some archive.org entries for the iterations of the Vouchsafe website I was most involved with.

This capture from May 2024: shows the first version of the website to go live following their pivot and rebrand from Interrobang to Vouchsafe.

The development and design of the website and rebrand was done by Macu with me in a lightweight project manager-meets-creative director role. Vouchsafe’s founders were also directly involved.

This capture from August 2024 shows a first iteration where I had a chance to revisit the messaging and copy which had been first developed by Macu.

Unfortunately the site styling is missing from that capture — possibly to do with the website platform being switched from Webflow to Wordpress, hence sharing both captures.

The site has since been redesigned.

Chipping away at the Ravn website in spare moments. Works better than the alpha version. Messaging still a work in progress. Need to get blogging.

Helped the Vouchsafe people put together a nascent help centre using Notion.

Notion’s a great tool for a scrappy alpha. Its pre-canned callout blocks are so useful.

It’s nearly 10 years since I joined Slack. One of the main things I did there was work on their help centre. It’s nice to be doing this again. Designing help content is a fuzzy brainspace.
