Version 5.1

One of things I love about finally having a site that I built be on a CMS (WordPress) is that I can make changes and update it really easily. It’s been a busy couple of months lately, so this weekend I finally got around to redesigning the homepage and having a closer look at the typography. I rebuilt the homepage to feature the latest blog post as well as pull in the last three projects uploaded. I’ve also increased the type size a small bit to make it more legible and I’ve bumped up security with a scheduled automatic database backup. It’s still not 100% finished with it but then I suppose I’ll always be tinkering with it…

Fifth times the charm

My last site was a rather quick affair, a single pager with a carousel built to replace it’s predecessor. In fact this is, by my calculations, my fifth completely new site. It’s always a good exercise to condense the work I’ve done lately into a handful of projects and it’s also a great workout for improving my coding skills to build a new site from scratch.

I’m hoping this one will stick around a little longer than the last one and there’s reason to think (hope) it will. For one thing it’s the first with a blog, the first that is responsive and also the first with a CMS. All of my previous ones have been basic HTML but this one is different. A completely custom WordPress theme built from the ground up. This should make it easier to maintain, update and change when I get a bit bored of it.
