I haven't done nearly as much as I wanted to on it in the last year... [url=http://www.annbeckett.com]www.annbeckett.com[/url] I seriously have to get cracking on the redesign... I'm limited in my coding experience, but have been having reasonable luck with Dreamweaver (god bless the WYSIWYG!). I want so much to go to CSS, but don't have time to learn it all myself before I get this up... I'll have to see how to do it with Dreamweaver... it would be better that way.... Let me tell you where I want to go with this, and can someone please offer some suggestions about possible structure and navigation? I want to go simple and streamlined... I did the rollovers on the front page mostly because I [i]could[/i], rather than because we needed them... But they do put the page on the heavy side... We'll re-work the logo, she doesn't really have one, I just needed something there.... I'll be using a neutral palette, with minimal design effects (I just need to figure out what those will be...) I've been after Ann to re-write a lot of the content. She wants the site presented from a first person, rather than 3rd person perspective, in the way of a story. She's really busy, so my delay isn't causing her much grief... She'll re-do the resume information, and the artist's statement as probably the same document, and I want her to write out some more descriptive comments for each piece of sculpture. She's changed her focus of the site from a sole business, to something more like a hobby. Still doing commissions, but not to live on anymore - it's too much like work, and that's not what she liked about art... What I'd like to do is divide the site into 2 sections, sculpture and illustrations/drawings. I'm stumped on navigation. With only a couple of other sections to the site, your usual menu bar across or down just doesn't seem right to me... I want something fairly simple, that will carry across to all the other pages on the site... Anyway, that's a lot of rambling on... I know there are portions of this site uncomplete, and I hope to have much more complete when I reload the new version, and so do away with all those "Under Construction" signs. Go ahead and give me criticisms about the site as is, and if you feel the spirit moves you, make a suggestion or 2 about where you would like to see a site like this go. We're moving to a bigger server space too (eventually), so image compression/quality won't be as much of a problem... I've been turning this over in my head for months, and inspiration just seems to be eluding me... I just need a kick in the pants to get me going... Have a go at it! (wait, let me go get my armor!) Be honest, but try not to be brutal... [small](Edited by [internallink=2186]bodhi23[/internallink] on 04-26-2004 13:34)[/small] Loading...
