I soon got bored with my portfolio and design service website so I decided to re-design it. During the designing process I tried to consider organisation, professionality, simplicity and usability.
The main difference between the previous design and v2.0 is the simplicity element. Previously, you would enter the 'work' area and have a list of categories to explore. The way the work was presented was 4 thumbnails to a page with next/back buttons to move onto the next/previous set of 4 thumbs. This format meant the work area contained several web pages which could have caused some confusion.
For v2.0, the work area has been stripped to it's bare bones and it now consists of just 3 web pages, each with a very clear and organised gallery layout. There is a gallery for Client work, Other work and Graded work.
The services area has also been massivly simplified. Previously there were many options to click on, such as logo design, website design etc etc. The services area for v2.0 is now just a single web page with very clear content detailing what I can offer to the client.
I'm pleased with the new look and plan to use it for at least another 6 months before I get bored with it again and start on v3.0!
