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.
