Yet another redesign
October 3, 2005
This site is finally live, again.
After numerous design revsions, totally rewriting almost of all the code, and even a name change, I am relaunching the site.
I originally launched a previous redesign of the site earlier this year, but I was never really satisfied with the layout, and it was also really lacking any content that explained the purpose of the site.
New techniques added daily
It’s constant process, analyzing content and determining best how to present it and mark it up. Couple this with new ideas on design and CSS, and you find yourself redesiging redesigning and rediting on a daily basis and the site isn’t even live. It’s tough working on your own site, because designers have a tendency to be overly critical of their own work, and I am definitely guilty of this.
I’m still in the process of cleaning up a few things, but if I don’t set a deadline on personal projects, I may be here redesigning and recoding forever. At one point, my wife asked if I was desinging it one pixel a time, and because sometimes I actually do, this became the slogan for the site.
Not another design blog
I spend more more and more time lately advising clients about how they should be using their site, and challenging them to think about the way they present themselves on the web. I encourage them to think about their audience, and to communicate to them in a simple and concise fashion exactly what it is that they do, and what sets them apart from their competitors.
It is time that I take my own advice and do the same for myself.

Darren: great job! I love the total look.
Congratulations! One item, though. DESIGNING is not spelled correctly on one of pages. And, we love your slogan about the pixels.
