Redesigning, Again
…and this time it’s personal.
Another month, another redesign. I think this all stems from the fact that I have never really been 100% happy with my website.
So, it is back to basics. With an update of WordPress comes their default theme, so I can concentrate on the content before I work on a custom design.
The Merits of WordPress
After talking recently about the pros and cons of building your own CMS with a colleague, and especially the time that goes into building one. Is it really worth it?
Now I must state that as primarily a designer, the developer role doesn’t come as easy to me. The main reason I use WordPress on this blog is that is was so quick and easy to set up.
However with speed being a major factor with mobile web, Google rankings and the complexity of WordPress, I’m pretty sure that a billy-basic CMS would load a lot quicker. But do people really care?
Reality probably means that I’ll stick with WordPress, upgrade to v3 and be able to write blog posts like I am now on my iPhone.
So, have you ever written your own CMS, or wanted to, or do you think that off-the-shelf systems are more than capable?
HigherSites Launch New Site
This is just a quick post to promote the new HigherSites website.
We’re a web design company in Somerset, and although I have only recently joined the team in April, I have thoroughly enjoyed it so far – working on some great sites with an awesome team!
Dribbble Invite Giveaway
Thanks to all submissions, but the two winners have now been chosen (See comments)
I have some very exclusive Dribbble invites – 2 to be exact.
If you haven’t heard of it before, Dribbble is a site which allows you to upload 400x300px previews of your design work. I have been hugely impressed with it so far, and invites are very elusive.
If you would like the opportunity of winning a Dribbble invite, please leave a comment (with an email address and website/twitter account) below, and later on I will choose the lucky two and contact them directly.
