The re-design and re-build of www.movembermike.com turned out to be very quick indeed!
The site is also responsive, meaning it will re-arrange itself to fit smaller screens better, such as on an iPhone or iPad - pretty neat.
Now all I need to do is raise some money for the charity, and put a stop to prostate cancer!

New portfolio/blog build is on hold - there’s less than a month until Movember now, and my other site, Movember Mike needs a 2011 facelift! Should be a nice quick design and build - here’s a little look at the new tone. The font is IM Fell English SC and it was love at first sight.
Website - Movember Mike - www.movembermike.com
Launched: October 2010
Prostate cancer affects 1 in 6 men. ‘Movember’ is an annual worldwide charity event which takes place throughout the month of November, whereby men fundraise by growing a moustache from scratch.
This website was my personal fundraising portal, which also provided daily photo updates, and a ‘Moustache Meter’, which charted the fundraising total.
It was a fun way to generate interest, and also some self-motivation. The tricky part was coming up with 30 unique names, one for each daily picture - culminating in ‘The Follicular Spectacular’.
Sadly, I only raised £663 of my self-set £1000 target, but there’s always next Movember!
(with a new site design, and new fancy dress costume at the London Gala Party!)
