What’s With The Lack Of Updates?

Yeah — sorry about that. Things have been pretty crazy around here lately. I’m not complaining though, I’ve been working on two rather large projects and having an excellent time doing so.

When I get a bit more time, I’ll put some information about them up here. If all goes well, one of them should be going live on Monday. Once it does, it’ll be the largest site that I’ve ever built from the ground up. So large in fact, that I had to work with a contractor for the last 8 months to get everything up to this point.

Here’s something to pique your interest in the meantime; I’ve just developed a new website for the folks over at Digital Embyro. Feel free to take a look at the portfolio entry for it. It’s a completely custom WordPress 3 install. First time I used child themes, too (awesome, by the way).

Anyway, stay tuned for my next update — I promise you’ll like it!

Design thoughts/ New logo / Layout changes

I’ve always been pretty particular to minimalistic designs. I don’t really like having a lot of clutter on my screen — especially not on my personal site.  When I was going through the process of creating Seriouslysean.com, I had a small list of requirements that I wanted to follow.

  1. Design/Layout needs to be clean and crisp, making it easy to find things
  2. Logo needed to be simple and easily recognized
  3. Find what you’re looking for in as few clicks as possible

I’ve pretty much got the layout where I want it. I like having the menu on the left and I feel like the content is where it should be. My two newest portfolio entries are the first thing highlighted when you visit the page followed by my blog/news posts. Read More…

Blogging, Now It’s Official!

Seal of BloggingBlogging is pretty easy and just about anyone can do it when provided with the right tools. The sense of accomplishment that’s felt when it has been viewed by someone other than your immediate friends? That’s what makes it official — in my opinion, anyway.

In the past couple of weeks, I’ve had two articles posted on Uwishunu, a site that highlights the fun things to do in Philadelphia — things that everyone may not know about. Read More…

New Look, Fresh Feel & Some Programming Hurdles

Seriouslysean.com has finally been given a makeover that I approve of. It’s a bit minimalistic at the moment but I’ll be making minor adjustments once I get everything set up. I’ll probably add a few splashes of color here and there and maybe a few images. Right now I’m kind of diggin’ the plain look.

I’ll be fleshing out the portfolio section with some of my new work when I get a chance. I’ve been tackling some pretty arduous tasks with PHP and I’m really excited to post some of them up. Read More…
