Best BehindTheRabbit’s websites around
Best advertising for a web developer is a nice customer’s website. Moreover, real websites are inspiring for users too because even if the design is the same for all, building up a website from scratch is a truly creative process and everyone has his own taste and prefers his own way of doing things.
For my WordPress themes I chose really weird names; it was unintentional: I discovered just later that it was ridiculously easy to google them and see what users have done with my themes (there are thousands of them out there). If you do the same, you can see what I mean: some sites stick to the original designs, some are totally changed with really intrepid (!) colors, some are definitely better than the original.
Sandvox and Rapidweaver are less configurable, but you still can choose header, colors, images, you still have to give a balance to your content, your pictures, your pages. As a developer, when I see a nice balance between all these things I feel quite satisfied.
Starting from now I will link to best Rabbit’s sites around and the first is indeed PC Coach Ltd. by Bernd Kühn. I have to thank Bernd for his suggestions and feedback and because he is a kind of beta tester too: his website sports an unreleased (yet) version of Carbone for WordPress, perfectly integrated with his Sandvox website (I plan to release Carbone for WordPress later this year, but it will require some skills since WordPress is definitely not easy to use as Sandvox).
Anyway, if you’re looking for inspiration remember that many Sandvox websites are listed here. Did you send yours?
Hi – I am a relatively new Sandvox user, just upgraded to pro, and for that matter I just converted to Mac from decades of PC use just a year ago, and I love it! When I purchased Sandvox, I was easily attracted to your designs. One of the issues I have been dealing with is whether to blog with Sandvox, or try to integrate a blog service (my preferred is WordPress). I thought about simply running a site that is exclusively WordPress, but I have grown fond of Sandvox, and would like to continue to explore designs for it. So my comment/question is – when will you release Carbone for WordPress – I was very impress with the PC Coach Ltd. website – the integration is perfect, and I would like to do the same.
By the way, the website I have now is connected to a closed business, now I am working on a new site. The WP template I plugged in yesterday can be seen at rivervillagecology.wordpress.com. I haven’t published the website yet.
I am looking forward to the release of your Carbone WP! Let me know as soon as it is ready.

Hi!
Sorry for my late reply.
Unfortunately I had to stop development of new themes for a few months. This is not the job that let me pay my bills and sometimes reality claims more attention
Anyway, I plan to be back at work in few days. My first duty is to update a couple of Sandvox themes (Orange Rabbit and Grafite), then I can concentrate on Carbone for WordPress.
As you know, it works, but in these months WordPress hit version 2.9 providing many improvements and new features, so I have to test them and to decide which of them Carbone should support (and how).
So yes, I still plan to release it. No, it won’t be really soon. But yes, I’ll do my best to do it as soon as possible!
I hope to have a timeline within a week.
