That’s right, the end is nigh. After a good few years blogging about our travels and latterly, about our move and subsequent property renovation in Instria, things are coming to an end. Not in a “It’s all gone pear-shaped and we’re giving up and coming back” kind of way. In the best way possible. Let me explain…
Over the past six years, since we started our blog – initially as “Her and Her Travels”, and then as “We Are Life Travel” – things have changed massively for us. The blog is now no longer just about travel. It’s about our new home and our personal journey, so it’s become a little bit mixed up.
Also, over the years, our business has changed direction. It used to be all about our website design work and our promotion of independent businesses in Didsbury. The website side of things is still going as strong as ever. In fact, it’s in a position that for us, is just perfect. Lovely clients, no pressure to be out pitching for more work and the ability to now be able to say “no” if something doesn’t feel right. Quite naturally, the Didsbury side of things isn’t as much of a focus. We do still post things on social media and this still works well, but we’ve taken down the website and no longer actively promote businesses or get involved in community initiatives.
So, the time has come for a very different direction, and we now have new overall name – We Are Life Collection…
Eventually, from this main website, you’ll be able to navigate to our other websites :
Design : this will be the dedicated website for our design work
Travel : this website will focus on our travels
Style : the focus here will be our renovations, design inspiration etc
All of the websites will similar in design and style, so that our We Are Life brand becomes stronger. The work has now started on the Travel and Design sites, so this blog will probably be the last we do, using this old WordPress template. Hence, the end…
There will one more strand we will be developing, which I think I am most excited about. If you’ve been following our story, you might know that we have our eyes on our next renovation project. The process has started as we are negotiating with the vendor, and so we have decided that it’s time to put this house up for sale. We have designed our own website, Escape to Istria…
At the moment, all details are only available from our website. We’ve taken the decision to not use an estate agent initially. Croatian real estate websites are pretty dire, and although an estate agent will have a wider reach than us, in terms of potential purchasers, we have something very exciting, which we are planning, to sit alongside our own website. More of these plans coming up, but in the meantime, do have a look at our website, especially if you , or somebody you know, might be interested in a new life (or a holiday home) in stunning Istria.
Our Escape to Istria website, will eventually become a new business venture for us. Through our research, we’ve investigated lots of Croatian property websites, and we have found them to be clunky, lacking in any kind of design, with poorly photographed properties. We know we can offer a much, much better service for people who wish to sell/rent properties and attract a discerning audience through a website which has real attention to detail, provides excellent information and uses only the best photography. We’ll be using our design skills to hopefully produce a website which will become another stand to our We Are Life Collection.
So, yes, it is the end. This blog will soon be disappearing but we are hugely excited by what will replace it…
