Today I have launched the latest version of www.maestrosync.com, which I have given the rather uninspired title of Novus. Fundamentally, it’s based on the latest versions of WordPress and K2. There was then much designing and coding (HTML, CSS, and proper PHP) and the site was born. Some brief notes:
- I wanted to give the site a proper and stylish design, so I used a grid. It doesn’t leap out at you because the design is simple, but almost everything is aligned to the grid.
- The colour scheme is a bit of a change for me—in the past I have mostly used shades of blue, but the red goes well with the darker blue.
- This is the first version of the site which is really usable and easy to navigate, particularly when it comes to my projects.
- The logo is a stylised ae ligature, which itself comes from when I used to style the title as ‘mæstrosync’.
There are still a few rough edges that I’m working on, so ignore them for the time being.
Looking great! I’d recommend changing the roll-over header tab colour from grey to a dark blue, but that’s just me. Apart from that, it’s looking great. I love how the red and blue work together.
It’s not my fault that your monitor is wrong!
Seriously though, the problem is that it can’t go much darker.
Very corporate-looking. Dark blue print on the dark red b/ground is hard to read, otherwise very neat and easy. I Like the randomly changing quotes above your credits. A penguin or two might improve an otherwise excellent site :>
