The Facelift VennPhew.

Well, I’ve injected about 13 hours or so into the redesign, and I must say, I’m pretty excited about the new look. I went with a really reserved / minimalistic palette allowing the photography, typography (Knockout), and random splashes of color to really drive the environment. I’ve always been a big fan of high contrast sites, and thought I’d take a stab at it myself. I’m really looking forward to filling this space.

Also, none of this would’ve been possible without unbelievable combination of Firebug / Transmit / Dreamweaver / Wordpress. I’m not much of a developer, but these tools transformed me into one. If you’re looking to do some web development of your own, and you’re not sure where to start, I highly suggest these.

    Looking so hot, man. I love what you’ve done with it so far. I’m excited to see where else you take it, and what you start posting. Mmm…

    I really like this design. Real spacy, even in the form elements, great fonts and high contrast. Great work.

    Some of the copy (in the comment form for example) is not my cup of tea. I prefer the label “Website” over “Got one of them blogs, or a website?”, but that’s really just personal taste.
