Actually, it is never finished. A website is a living organism. There is always something to add or replace, a new feature to implement, or something else to try to make things even better. But the basic redesign of the a&b WebDesign site and its transformation to a Content Management System has been completed.
a&b Webdesign not only received a new design, we have also changed web hosts and had to move all the pages to the new host. Those moves often prove to be more challenging than expected, but in the end, everything fell into place.
Going forward, I will continue to explore the many options that WordPress offers and watch the site evolve.
You know how it is, the cobbler’s kids go barefoot. But I think things are coming along nicely – ok, very SLOWLY yet nicely. Currently, I’m working on design and layout simultaneously, and some of that work is just done en cranium. In the Head.
And I ponder – what do the chickens and that old, rusty stove have to do with webdesign?
Maybe it’s the chickens pecking along relentlessly -working towards their goal. Is it the old rusty stove churning out quality heat? On the other hand – WHAT precisely would represent ‘webdesign’? Me in my robe sitting in front of my computer at 4 AM drinking coffee with a bunch of HTML tags splattered all over the monitor? Believe me, the chickens and that stove look much more idyllic.
And why did I pick it? Above described photo of me, the webdesigner at work, would scare people away. On the other hand, that stove and its chickens, can be found in Luckenbach, Texas, where they have been sitting and pecking for many years now, much like I have.
I have completed the video tutorials from the Killersites University a couple weeks ago, and have build my basic layout for the new theme. What I have is not final, but it’s a good start. I’ll be tweaking things as they develop.
The next step is the design of the site. That’s a tough one. Of course I want my site to look good and interesting, and I do NOT want to copy someone else’s work. I did spent many hours browsing around, looking for inspiration, but none came. I finally decided to go back to my initial thought: Use one of my own photos that I like and that provides me with an interesting color palette, and see where it takes me.
And so it has begun, and so far, I’m happy with what my site is starting to become.
