Few clicks and I was on the webpage of the company that produces this one-of-a-kind app. I was curious about their work.

On the lower right corner a little line caught my attention. alt++U and I’m looking in the code of the page for the hole “hidden” text.

I founded it extremely smart and very funny. Here it is:

Under Construction.

provisional.

Some day we will have the new website.

Difficult to say when.

We’re not fortune tellers.

Just like Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia Cathedral…

…without a fixed end date.

Anyways if we were to design our own website…

…It would have to be an example of excellence.

We don´t know if we could handle the pressure.

perfectionism is horrible.

precisely because it does not exist.

just take a look at it the day after…

…and it is no longer perfect.

that is why perfectionism cannot be an objective.

alive only for a mere instant.

just like an orgasm.

or a goal in the final minute of a match.

or when someone says “i love you”.

and that is why we have our site under construction.

because perfection only lasts for a few precious seconds.

what we really wanted was a perfect corporate website…

that would continue to be perfect for a couple of years.

ask a six year old to write down her name on a piece of paper.

and she writes it in a second.

now ask a creative professional to do the same.

and you are hosed.

Looking for that special font-type.

And the paper-type, neither too classical nor too modern.

Add to that the composition.

And don’t forget the concept to bring all of this together.

And since it’s his name, the concept has to be just goddamn amazing.

And that is something you naturally cannot do overnight.

you need to think, document, look for references…

and that is the problem we creatives have.

we are like women. we think too much.

that is why we have a page under construction.

because we can.

because that is one of the cool things about the internet.

able to post things online and say it is temporary.

and not feel bad about it.

imagine how cool if real life could be like that too.

to be able to say to your boss.

you sonofabitch under construction.

and not feel bad about it.

and since we are not capable of making something perfect…

…we have put together something quickly.

we call it under construction.

and not feel bad about it either.

oh how we love the internet.

Under Construction by Herraiz Soto & Co

So i did the same with my website.

In fact it’s really simple to display your web site logo on the address bar and in the favorites list.

Step one: think of a simple logo, it will be really tiny (16×16 pixels) so forget about pictures and detailed illustrations.

Step two: download and install IconBuilder to convert your logo into a .ico Windows Icon File. You can easily find this Photoshop plugin on VersionTracker.

Step three: follow the IconBuilder tutorial and create the 16×16 .ico file with your logo and rename it “favicon.ico”

Step four: upload the favicon.ico on the root folder of your website.

Enjoy.

You can always switch back to the standard version of my website with the botton in the footer.

Hope you like it.

The mobile version of my website exists thanks to WPtouch Mobile Plugin.
