Websites are hard. It’s about time to redesign my site again and this time clear out all the old code that’s hiding under the hood. Moving up to html5 and css3 but damn, the design’s the hard part. Here’s how far I’ve gotten this evening on a mockup. Long way to go before I can start putting it together in code. The background watercolor though is going to be a series of transparent layers aligned differently so each page has its own slightly different background based on how long the page is. I love the basic colors on my current site but I feel like I need something lighter and a hell of a lot more modern. The current color scheme pulls the focus away from the content because it’s so saturated, and the current layout is pretty dated too.
