Professional website design - Simon Woodard

This site has been in the pipeline for quite some time now, I had started the design and layout before I learned CSS, thus the layout is still in table form.

For the past couple of days though I have re-created a lot of the visuals in CSS, resulting in a slightly modernized code for the site.

During development we had tried a few different colour schemes, finally resulting in a warm, rich palette, whilst steering clear of harsh absolutes.  I’ve also tried to develop easy readability, by using a bigger font size and increased line height.

Ultimately a site that attempts to reflect the simple beauty of a pearl.

Welcome to my brand new site,

This sites new look and feel is the result of many weeks of research and conceptual thought.

I wanted something that would be easy to keep up to date, thus the inclusion of a blog.  I have also simplified the navigation down to 5 links from 8!  I wanted a site that wasn’t going to have lots of pages, but rather everything you needed in a place people would normally think it to be, all the while keeping the site interesting and constantly evolving… again, thus the blog.

Of course over the next few weeks I’ll be ironing out glitches in the code, as I come across them.

Suggestions, comments and reports are all welcome
