I have been attempting to re-design my site. I’ve tried to go for an information rich site and more expressive than a more simple showcase of work approach, which I find a bit dull and far too common place. Hopefully my design will have a bit of originality to it, with some of my own personal style. Style as in design style. If it was dress sense, it would prob look like a hobo.
Anyway, from a technical point of view, I plan to include a fair bit of of AJAX + PHP actionoly to it and probably some Mootools or JQuery ‘fun’. Mainly as a learning exercise but also to improve functionality. I also wanted to have a user rating system for all work and blog posts but I may have to leave this til later, as it’s already going to be pretty darn brain intensive.
Here is a sneak preview of the site so far:
Nice clean design Rich, I think you did right in the first instance to have a simple showcase of work. However, now you have quite a lot of examples to show off so it makes sense to re-structure it around your growing content.
Cheers Markus. Yeah, I have quite a bit to put on so it’s not like making something out of nothing. There is always the argument for keeping it PURELY work, slideshow type thing, but I’m not keen on them, atleast doing this shows originallity and a personal style.
nice – really like the feeling of the site. also graphics is good – simple but effective, that’s what really like. The idea matters more than flashy banners, and so on
good job – cheers
