Changes For The Better
This summer we're introducing a new way for you to follow what's happening at Butler's Courtyard - through a blog. A blog means that the team at Butler's Courtyard can talk about the various aspects of our facility and services. And better still, you can comment, give us input and help on our continuing road to excellence. You probably have got to the blog itself through the web site - we built it into the site as a separate section. You can also go directly to it in future by bookmarking this page.
You'll also notice some changes on our web site, in addition to directly accessing to this Blog - changes which we hope will make our site even more useful and informative.
The main web site changes are:
Photo Albums - we use a Google service called Picasa to organize, hold and show our library of photos albums on the web site at present, and in the future on Facebook and this Blog. Albums range from photo tours of our main facility, to tours of our on-site Brides residence (Rose Cottage) and Grooms residence (Grooms Shop) and include recent weddings. With the proliferation of smart phones and tablets, we needed to provide technology that worked on these devices, as well as personal computers. So you'll notice now that all our web site photo albums can now be viewed or any device. And the viewing options have been extended to include slide shows, full sized individuals photos and whole album photos. And all photos can be downloaded for you to share.
Videos - we have always had the video we made with The Bridal Extravaganza on our site - it provides an effective way for brides to meet Nancy & Janice and see our facilities. Videos, although a wedding feature in the recent past, have increased in quantity and quality - now we plan to also include the exceptional ones on the web site. Our first video - made by Sculpting With Time Productions for Yoomi and Oliver's recent Butler's Courtyard wedding - is astonishing; almost an art form. Do look for it on the site, you will not be disappointed.
Open Houses - we've removed the web site calendar and replaced it with side-bar announcements in both the Welcome and Next Step sections. The announcement stand out more, and don't get lost in the computerized calendar itself.
