Inspiration

Funny how time off always brings the creative me out again. When I’m working I rarely do anything with my own websites, but give me a couple of days of holiday and things start to itch.

I’ve been upgrading most of the logs under my control to the new version of WordPress, and I’m pretty impressed with a) how fast and relatively smooth the upgrades went, and b) what the new dashboard looks like. It’s so much cleaner and better designed than it was, and I love that I now have a widescreen form to type my posts in instead of the cramped up space I used to have. WordPress.org itself has some pretty interesting new categories no the site (or new … they are new to me, maybe they’ve been there for ages but I just didn’t notice). One of them is the Showcase category in which a couple of nicely designed WP sites are shown. I’ve been clicking through some content and came across a post on “Large Background Webdesign” and I must say, what I’ve seen so far is pretty impressive and gives me tons of inspiration to go build something new and completely different for my business website. Up until now what I’ve had is pretty basic in looks (though I fidgeted around with jQuery and stuff, which works wonders for a website).

So, I think the next days I’m going to ponder over a new design. I actually already had one, but in light of what I’ve seen today it turns pretty bleak

Back to the drawing board it is I guess. Let’s see if I can combine photography with business and design
