After months of planning and work, I am proud to be able to present my newly designed site today.
I first launched my site (below) in May 2011, after completing projects for some freelance clients, as I needed an online presence and wanted to showcase the work that I was doing. Whilst it has served its purpose, since late last year I’ve wanted to create a new site which would establish my branding, and also enable me to start blogging about web design and development on a regular basis
The entire site was designed in-browser, with any images and icons edited in Photoshop.
In line with the minimal look that I chose, I made use of The Golden Grid and Hashgrid.js to create an aesthetically pleasing grid to build upon.
I also used the Golden ration for the site’s typography. The site was developed using WordPress and also takes advantages of the new features that HTML5 and CSS3 has to offer.
