It’s not Time to Redesign my website.

You know you have a decent online presence when your inbox fills up with junkmail from SEO and internet marketing companies. (Irony Alert!) I got this the other day to my Chestnut St. Pixel Foundry account, especially notable for the fact they contacted us, a web design studio, pushing their redesign (rather, Redesign) services.

My snarky response:

Hello John (no last name?)

Thank you for sending me a messsage informing me that I need to Redesign my website. While the input of random strangers is always appreciated in my inbox, I feel the need to correct you on your assumption that I’m in need of a new look for my website.

I certainly understand the confusion and why you may have determined that cspixelfoundry.com is outdated looking. You see, Chestnut St. Pixel Foundry is a new design studio designed to look turn of the century. The company’s branding reflects a vintage, Victorian era style. I can see why you may have believed our website to be circa 1890s, but let me assure it is more modern than that!

In the unlikely event that Chestnut St. Pixel Foundry rebrands and needs a trendy web 2.0 generic template site (just like our competitors!) I’ll certainly keep your company in mind for a Redesign.

Thank you,
Megan Seely
partner, Chestnut St. Pixel Foundry
