Up till now, people who wanted to learn about our group buying platform had to make do with the rather scanty information provided on the VendAsta corporate site. A while back we decided that Daily Deal Platform 3S deserved its own website.

It took us forever to come up with an illustration for the main page. A few weeks ago I sat down with Liz and her sketchbook and we tossed some brilliant ideas back and forth:

(These and all the other drawings on this page are by Liz Syrnick, by the way.) After some discussion, this is what we settled on:

Everyone claimed to like the drawing, but they were confused. “Why bunnies?” they asked.

“Well, it’s a group buying site, so, you know…bunnies in a shopping cart.”

Tavis and Jeff tried to be tactful. “We really like the bunnies,” Tavis explained, “but we’re worried that people won’t take us seriously if the main image is so…”

“Cute,” said Jeff.

“Yeah. We need people to understand that we’re serious players in this field.”

“But that we’re still fun to hang around with,” Jeff added.

So the shopping cart bunnies, and all the additional bunnies that Liz had drawn for the interior pages of the site, had to be thrown out. I hate to see them left homeless, so I’m putting them up here.

Undaunted, Liz retired to her sketchbook, and a few days later she and Marie-Louise emerged with some tiny construction workers assembling a website. Behold, the new home of VendAsta’s group buying platform!
