Guerrilla Beauty

Postby BigBecka » Nov 29, 2009 4:29 pm

I'ld love to hear your feedback on the following website I'm involved with: http://guerrillabeauty.com/

It is a total ethical living website, rather than a dedicated vegan website. It is still in it's infancy, but I hope it will become a useful resource :)

Nice site, Becka. :)

We declare war on exploitation and objectivisation of women!
#
We declare war on animal cruelty!
#
We declare war on unethical farming and manufacturing processes!
#
We declare war on human trafficking!


Too much war for a totally ethical lifestyle imho. ;)

Where do you host the site? It loads quite slowly on my computer, especially for a word press blog.

You can also set up the permalinks to something more search engine friendly in your wordpress settings.

Thanks Andy :D

:lol: You are right about too much war :lol: but most of the women I spoke to liked the idea :) I think that control is a big issue for women - we are always being told to buy this and eat that, and try to look like a 17-year-old... So it is a bit like a guerrilla war: we want to take back some power over our lives! But a nice, friendly war with no guns :wink:

At the moment it is hosted on a basic package intended for wordpress blogs for a few months. I looked around at different hosting offers, but nobody knew how much web space, bandwidth, etc. we were likely to need! I was going to post some messages on the webmasters' forums... Can you give me any advice?

Nice changes and today it loads quicker. :)

When you start with a webpage it usually has insignificant traffic.
Only when it becomes really popular it may need a dedicated hosting solution.

Thank :) I found a "WP Super Cache" plugin which speeded everything up - something to do with wordpress pages being dynamic amd not static?

And I've been playing with lots of different templates... I seem to have become the tech-person in my group :D

I now have a healthy respect for webmasters :notworthy: do you just learn all this stuff from experience?
