As promised a few weeks ago, we have been busy making some changes and updates to the GetCreative website. The newest change is the structure of our web design portfolio. We work hard to ensure that each website portrays the needs and desires of our clients, and we wanted our portfolio to reflect this. There is still plenty of eye-candy, and some additional information about each project to give some insight into our design process.
I’m excited to show off some changes here on the GetCreative Web Design site. ‘The cobbler’s children go barefoot’ no more…or however that saying goes. It can be so easy to put off work on our own businesses when we put the client first. It pays off, though, to dedicate some time to our own projects; this helps ensure that we continue to gather new clients for the future.
There have been some positive changes on our website over the last week that I wanted to take a moment to bring to your attention.
First, thanks to Google’s new font directory, I have added some new fonts to the GetCreative website. (I’ll be posting more about web fonts this later this week, stay tuned!) You will notice the headings and navigation buttons on pages and blog posts are now a more decorative sans-serif called Yanone Kaffeesatz instead of the former Arial. In newer browsers that support CSS3, there is also a slight shadow to the headings and navigation buttons, creating a more dynamic look. The body font remains the standard Arial for readability purposes.
After getting permission from some clients I’ve worked with in the past, I thought it would be fun to show some before and after screen shots of websites that have been redesigned by GetCreative. The amount of change varies depending on the needs of each client, some receiving an entire new look while others just needed an update. Enjoy!
We have moved away from our temporary home at Blogger.com and customized a WordPress theme to better fit the functional and stylistic needs of our ever-growing web log.
Some benefits of WordPress software include full editing capabilities with access to all CSS and PHP files via FTP uploader or their own functional text Editor, among other technical goodies for the geek in all of us. The blog is also now incorporated into the GetCreative web site, so no more linking externally to read the blog. Thank goodness!
