Currently, over the past 3 days I have been planning, designing and creating a totally new website. What is interesting to me this time around is that I have decided to create it from scratch rather than going for a pre-made theme or blog which are both options that I have used before.
Not that there is anything wrong with using templates or a blog, they are both very good solutions to the problem of getting your work on-line and easily viewable, but every time that I have gone about using them I have never been satisfied and began tweaking the themes to how I want them but it is still never quite right. That taught me some of the basics of HTML and CSS by editing other peoples work, but I have decided to go it alone this time.
I spent the first day mainly in photoshop, messing around and eventually forming a layout and design plus colour scheme I was happy with. Then when it came to dreamweaver I realised editing and writing are two different things, but I persevered and learnt things as I went on and would even say I have a decent enough knowledge to do it know again without any complications.
You can view the site HERE, its pretty much finished but things are still changing as I notice them...

I like it. Feels fresh. Would advise changing link colour, though. Blue on grey doesn't show up too well for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks, yeah I only realised the unvisited links were blue this morning. They were intended to be light grey, the same as visited links. Only problem was that having visited all links previously, I didn't notice I forgot to change the un-visited colour from blue!
