What it's all about.

Well, not socks for a start. I live in the Gulf of St Tropez and have started a site which is a directory of services and businesses in and around 16 villages of the Gulf.

It serves 2 purposes - in addition to providing information for visitors and residents, it gives a small website to the service providers and businesses. The idea came about when a number of people asked me to design a site for them - but could not afford it or would not have been able to maintain their site once it was published (due to lack of time, interest or know-how).

So - "At My Site" was conceived, gestated for 9 months (honest!) and was born last week. Actually, a prototype was published for a few weeks in May and June - just to test interest and viability - then it was stuffed back into the ether whilst I got the business plan together.

Now I'm working full-time on the sites.

I'm still a bit slow at adding new pages - I get distracted by dreams of a forum and a classifieds page, ideas for articles and searching for potential link partners. However, today I added two sites - Mark Wallace Golf School and Mark's wife's business Moods Provence a renovation and interior design concern.

Now, unless you live in the region or are planning to visit, these sites will not be much use to you. But Mark is the publisher of a super photo blog of Ste Maxime which I have listed elsewhere on this blog as a link worth a visit. Mark's wry, dry, amusing and insightful commentaries are a great read - and the blog will give you a good "feel" of the region and of Ste Maxime in particular. It's well worth a visit.
