Updating Site
This is just not about adding new posts or updating the front page, this is about looking at and refocusing the mission and goals as well as design or even using a new theme.
There is already a new theme, the Business Pro theme has been updated to Monochrome Pro, a simple lightweight theme that can be easily customized. There will be more customizations coming soon.
Currently looking at 2 design concepts:
- Changing the background from white to a softer color. Currently, there is chatter on the web about making it easier on the eyes for the viewer specifically for those staring at a computer screen most of the day.
- Studing what print & web designers are doing today and applying those changes to the sites when it applies. One of my first web teachers had us create a book collage of design commonalities that change with time.
For 2021 I'm seeing textures being added that show depth of field. Colors are also changing from greens or browns to off-white.
Design Updates
On the front page added a background image of water lapping up onto the shore and toned it down so it is barely noticeable to offer texture and a calming effect.
