What a week. On Monday evening 9th January I finally got around to designing my new site. My deadline was for one weeks time i.e. today. And though it has been tough with 14-16 hour days I have achieved many of my objectives. Because of such a short deadline decisions needed to be made fast on such things as design, look and feel, site objectives, target audience, interactions, overall experience, etc.
Some of the functionality like the articles section will be polished in the coming weeks as well as small adjustments to the ocerall site and portfolio section. The ultimate aim was the portfolio section and this small benchmark has been met, though the next challenge now is to populate it.
The article section may take that bit longer while I experiment with different methods of using columns that will benefit bot touch devices and traditional computers equally.
