This Dad Does Has A New Look
Do you notice anything new about This Dad Does lately? Have a look and come back to this post.
What did you see?
The same compelling content?
Articles for Dads who do more (many of you: much more)?
Engaging discussion and comments from like-minded Dads from all walks of life?
Yes, yes, yes….but all of that has been on the site since I started waaaay back in September 2015.
Still guessing?
OK, I’ll tell you: The site has a totally new look!! Still confused? Let me explain more.
New Year, New Look for the Site
Up until this week, I’d been using free themes for This Dad Does (a ‘theme’ is like a wrapper for a WordPress blog like this one).
They look fine but have limits. And I hate limits.
Which is why I wanted to upgrade to a fully customisable theme that was going to look good and allow me to keep doing what I do best:
Bring value to you through my writing.
Plus the old theme looked a bit cluttered and the font was difficult to read and blew a bit on mobile…anyway, I digress.
With this new theme I’m also able to easily add email forms for you to keep up to date with all the latest as well as create single message pages – called ‘a landing page’ (like this one).
What you see now isn’t the finished article. Instead it’s my MVP – minimum viable product.
I’m going to work to make the site better, clearer and easier to read so that you have the best experience possible.
To that end, I want to know what you think. What do you like or not like? Are you digging the new lay our or not so much?
I want this site to serve your needs so it’s important that you like coming here.
Sound good?
The Future and Why Your Opinion Matters
Although TDD has been going a year, I feel like we’re only just getting started. More and more Dads are catching on to our message.
It’s exciting.
I’ve got more in the pipeline (subscribers already got a heads up) for the site and some other things.
The best way to stay with me on the journey is through my mailing list which is fast become a large, elite group of Dads. You could be one of them if you sign up.
Plus I’ll send you my free Ebook and any other free stuff that’s going.

P.S. Do you like the theme? It’s called Marketer’s Delight and you can get it here.
The site is looking excellent, Neil!
Super easy to read and navigate, and the landing page looks awesome too.
Did you know you could add
[md_email]
to your landing page and a form will populate inside of content? You can also customize it with the tips in the MD Style Guide.
Looking forward to what you have coming up!
Hey Gabe, thanks so much for the feedback. MD was super easy to install and looks good ‘out of the box’. I’ve been working through Alex’s guides including the style guide which has given me some ideas. Thanks for the tip about the email forms too, I was trying to figure that out!
