In case you haven’t spotted already, I gave my blog a makeover! Woohoo! I’d wanted to do it for a while as I had the previous one for almost 2 years and was so bored of it/it felt quite template-y as there was not much customization really.
Design wise I have been making various mock ups for a couple of weeks of what I wanted it to look like, but could not get it quite right. I find design for web quite hard – it needs a lot of practice to be good at it!Anyway, I spent a lot of time this week on the design and it all started coming together. YAY! Then it was on to actually building it…
I am OK at HTML/CSS and can do it when I have to (I did most of my old design – you could probably tell..). However, I wouldn’t have a clue how to mobile optimize something or make a snazzy navigation bar like the lovely one I now have! Luckily my boyfriend Henry is a digital designer so he kindly built this for me (BIG SHOUT OUT ‘LOL’). I designed/directed it all/me being generally bossy-picky-hell and it took a lot longer than I thought it would so I hope you like it! Please do let me know if anything looks weird or there are any strange things happening – we did test it all but god knows what else might be lurking around and there are still a few little tweaks to make!
Feel free to email me if you want to harass Henry for his skillz (he also recently designed, branded and built the Fashion Rocks and Gleam Futures websites!)
It looks awesome, lady! You did a wonderful job and I really love all of your designs. <3 xoxo
Thank you so much! <3
