King Websites Redesign

Posted on May 24th, 2007 at 8:35 pm

Yes, I finally got around to changing the look of my business site, King Websites. The old site had a lot of content and no design but this has now been reversed. It’s also broken down into the two main things I do now; small business web design and freelance coding.

Yes, it does look like it’s been designed by a five-year-old who’s just found the shape tool in Photoshop, and in some respects they’d be right. But heh, it’s better than my dour last attempt. Hope you like!

The Guardian online redesign

This morning I saw that The Guardian has redesigned it’s website.

Although there was nothing wrong with the old style I do like this new redesign. The home page has been broken down into specific sections making it easier to access the items of news you want whilst still keeping a lot of white space so it doesn’t feel cluttered. It’s all done with CSS positioning and the markup is very clean but I found the load time quite high, probably due to the 20 or so scripts it loads.

Anyway, it’s an improvement.

My business website is getting a makeover too. I’ll be launching it this Saturday.
