Poll: Do you change your Web site for the holidays?

Thursday December 28, 2006
If you've ever visited Google on a holiday (obscure or mainstream) you'll have seen their modified logo. This can be a fun way for designers on corporate sites to show some creativity for a day.

At one site I worked on, I would do a "haunted home page" every year. The first year I did it as a joke, and when the VP came to me that day I figured I was losing my job. But he smiled and said he really enjoyed it. So I ended up doing it every year I worked there.

We normally change or website graphics for Christmas by adding a little holly, a sata’s and some flashing lights.

Since we are a clipart/graphics website the holidays are the biggest part of our year! It is what our customers are looking for for the crafts,websites,auction templates,etc. We always try to have fun with it!

I change every site, over 20, backgrounds, graphics etc. They are changed for the holiday season, a little something to suit everyone, I wouldn’t want to offend anyone! It takes me a long time to change them and change them back.

Some sites such as this are hard to change and then in this politically correct age who do you leave out? Happy New Year
