So here it is the grand entrance of the Black Orchid Group website (well it’s grand in my eyes). I spent the better part of 24hrs modifying the classic WordPress Theme in order to bring you what you are now viewing. Not bad if I do say so myself. I am sure that the experienced web designer would have plenty to say about the code behind this little sucker, but like I said it is all a learning process for me. So I see this as a good start. The amount that I feel I have learned over the past few days during the creation of this site is mind boggling.

I would like to take the opportunity in this introductory post to thank a very close friend of mine, my brother Erik, who got me started in the world of web design. Without his initial guidance I would still be using WSYWIG to create web pages and things on this page would probably be a little more hectic than they are. I tend to look at him as part of this little experience therefore the need to call it ‘group’.

I welcome you to the site and hope that you will find my quest to become a better designer interesting, entertaining and at times informative…
