Sat up till I dont remember last night sketching out some designs for my web based portfolio make over. Ive not really been happy with it if Im honest and knew I wouldnt be satisfied in its current condition. It was just a matter of finding the time to make some notes and work out some new theme ideas.
I decided on taking advice from the notes Id made whilst talking to others who had creatively and honestly looked at what Id done to date.
The original running theme Id used from the start wasnt something Id given much thought to. Time and other outside influences always make it difficult to keep going in one fell swoop. I decided on keeping the rough outlined basics for what I had done already. But change the site so that it was created from scratch but from a common home made template.
Gone went the mismatched main button links and the thrashy bright colours. Out the window went the raw look that each site page had.
And in the end I decided to use each of the index page main link buttons as a common theme that could be used sepertly for each page. I created a new template with an image placement and five x five table. Topped off with new a new colour theme with I decided gave things a more professional and serious looking slant. I hadnt used or even considered templates previously as Id simply wanted to get as much crammed onto the site as I could in the shortest possible time. I have obviously learnt now that quality not quantity works bets moist times.
I have to stop now as I have other priorities that must be taken care or.
