What's missing?

There are a few things missing from this site compared to the old one, but to be honest not much. Content wise, the last iteration didn't have a great deal going for it and I doubt this will be very different.

But the main thing that I am thrilled will be missing is... The contact form.

The Contact Form?

As mentioned here, the last iteration of this site dated from my days working as a consultancy, and was in large part a professional "shop window". That meant the obligatory "Contact Us" page on the site.

Needing a basic CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system to track my clients and their projects, I naturally went with a Cloud-based service optimised for small businesses - Capsule CRM. I mention them by name here because they offer a good service, and I was very happy with the product for as long as I used it.

Capsule CRM

But I made one critical mistake - in the interests of allowing customers to quickly get in contact, I set up a web form on the Snowgoons site which allowed a potential customer to directly enter their requirements, which would automatically create a lead in the Capsule CRM platform using their API. Super! Except...

Oh God, The Spam...

Which I think begs the obvious question: *Who the hell actually uses words like 'mancave' without irony?*

So yeah, the automated spam delivery system. That's missing from this website. Good riddance!
