Chris Blackwell’s Domain

I have officially launched the Novo Emporium (www.novoemporium.com) website today! Novo Emporium is a site that I have been working on for a few months. I always wanted to create a website dedicated to business and marketing, and now I have. The design of Novo Emporium is not the greatest and I am going to get one of our designers to put together something better as soon as possible. My main focus was (and always will be) the content.

Novo Emporium? What’s in a name?

The name Novo Emporium is the latin phrase for “new market”. I spent a lot of time thinking about what I wanted to call this website. I knew that I wanted the site to be new and fresh, and not talk about old style marketing strategies, because that’s not my thing. I spent weeks playing around with different domains with the words marketing and the word new. Finally it came to me that the web uses a lot of latin phrases. In fact, place holder text, that most web designers use, is latin (Lorem Ipsum). I finally decided on Novo Emporium a few weeks ago and I haven’t looked back since.

Since it took me several months to finally decide on the name for the website, I was able to build up a good amount of content for it. I will talk in another post about the necessity to build-up content before launching a new blog or website. Please take a look at the site and let me know what you think. I look forward to hearing your comments.
