Presenting our new website lowtechmovie.com



Please take a look at our new website and let us know what still needs work or if you like it just the way it is :)

Your suggestions could make it to the actual page and make a big difference in helping with our quest for world domination through permaculture.

We'd love to see some purchase tests, too!

We can't wait to hear from you!!

Hi  Great to see this.  

I would like to suggest the following to improve the new site:-

     The top bar/ heading with other pages is made to stay visible all the time- helps move around the site
     The typeface is changed from Times to something more up to date - it looks really old-fashioned which is not where we are on this approach to life, maybe choose a sans serif typeface
      Put the logo or other generic label so we can see the link to other Permies stuff
      Make each page shorter and do more of them- I just completed a course on website design and a key thing I learnt was that many folk are now searching online via their phones - which show everything  very differently, so it is helpful to have less on each page.

As a aside I suggest when doing an online search that Permies choose Ecosia for their searches. They use 80% of their profits to plant trees and they do not track you. So plant trees with every search!  It is a good search engine - I use it for about 90% of my searches.

nice. Had a quick look.
comments;
- under heading So Much More, first words are "simple solar pump, spinning wheel..." but image is a picnic table- bit confusing
-Rocket Kiln image is elsewhere labeled Rocket Engine under Explore the Low Tech Laboratory 3D Plans- suggest using same term for same image
- caution against using dates ie 2022, 2012 in homepage, can make the info seem obsolete eg we're already at the end of 2023, even 2022 seems old Keep dates for details inside descriptions.
