  • Redesigning

    This site has been up for just under a year, and I’ve learnt a lot  so I’ve decided to take a break from freelance work to rethink and redesign.

    What does this mean?

    • The general look and feel has come to feel quite clunky and over simple, I’d like to make it a bit more delicate and thought out, but still retain the same general feel
    • I’m not counting on using my site to find freelance work via cold enquiries, so less of a ‘salesy’ tone to the copy
    • I’m not posting to my blog as often as I could be, due to some decisions made in the last design. I’d like to go much more down the Tumblr route and make the blog less about articles and more about bookmarking and sharing.
    • I’m using Twitter more and more so I’ll put that as a higher priority on the site
    • If I can, I’ll do it all on one page.

    I’ll do my best to post my progress as I go, as I did with this version.

  • I’m selling my camera

    I’m selling my much loved Canon DSLR, I’ve not been getting the use out of it I had hoped so I am selling it on to free up some cash. Details are below. I’m also selling a 50mm 1.8 lens, a battery grip and a Canon speedlite 430EX.

    This microcopy in Google Chrome made me laugh out loud.

  • Now live, our wedding website

    I will be writing a more detailed blog post about it, once I’ve ironed out some of the details. But here it is, the site for our wedding. Still to do:

    • Cross browser testing – I have no idea what it looks like in IE6 or 7 or Firefox pre 3.6
    • Font stacks – The ampersand in the logo is Palatino, I need to do some research into how widely available that font is
    • Build an RSVP form

    Anyways, enjoy and be sure to feedback

  • Okay, you may look now

    From the initial sketch to the (almost) finished article in a month. You are looking at version 1 of my site. This is the first time I have built a site for myself and it’s the first time I’ve built something this large on WordPress.

    There are still some things that need my attention until I can relax, including the measure in blog posts (feel a bit short to anyone else?), IE6 testing and finally I need to build the portfolio section (and get rid of the ‘coming soon…’ placeholders). I’m holding off on the latter until I get a few jobs under my belt.

    In the meantime please take a look around, feel free to critique and report bugs to your heart’s content

  • If you can read this, you’re too early

    Seriously, I’m still setting things up here, go do something for an hour or two then come back, it’ll be beautiful.
