Ben Kane - new website

Post by parthianbow » Fri May 20th, 2011, 1:07 pm

Well, it's been a while in getting it all together, but at last, and in time for my new book release, my website has been relaunched.

I think it looks rather good :D

To Ben Kane
Usually at the announcement of a new website I’m fairly blasé, having seen more than few very ordinary web pages given a light gloss and a bit of tinsel to tart them up.
Ahh not yours, the artwork is spectacular, my compliments to the artist the layout is clear and concise and overall gives an impression of both professionalism and historical accuracy.
Well done it’s a great site!
Regards Greg

That really is a handsome and DISTINCTIVE redesign! Very striking, I like that. Congratulations on that, complimets to Steve Stone, and best of luck with Hannibal - looking forward to the release!

Thanks, everyone! I like it so much that I'm still going to the home page occasionally to take a look! :p

Just visited your new site--really nice. The art is great and everything was easy to navigate. I enjoyed the layout. If you ever have time (ha, right?) you might consider doing a video of some sort. I always love those on book/author websites. Something short, perhaps a little interview at an interesting locale. Maybe you could do one at that Roman festival? Congratulations on your success and good luck in the future.

@Alisha Marie: thanks, glad you liked it. It's good to know that you also like those videos, because....I intend to go to Italy to shoot some later in the year. Hannibal ones and Spartacus ones. I'll be sure to post here about it.
