I have finally got round to re-designing my business site. The previous design really wasn’t doing anything for me and had been designed at a time when I was still experimenting with design ideas.
So I have re-designed, re-worded, and re-thought the whole concept, and so far I am happy with the result I think it represents my design philosophy well. I haven’t changed absolutely everything some of the elements simply needed re thinking.

• I only slightly changed the logo by lessening the amount of shadow.
• I also made the “accessible, Bright, compliant Design” my company motto/statement as this really reflects what I aim to do.
• I recreated my “seal of quality” which is shown on websites I have created.



• Re-thought my use of fonts.

I also took rather a large step (for me anyway) and stopped trying to do everything with CSS, instead turning to Dom Scripting and JavaScript for any dynamic elements. I think that this was a natural progression for me as I have slowly been coming to the conclusion that trying to achieve everything with CSS really undermines the reasons for using it in the first place. I have come to the simple conclusion

XHTML = structure.
CSS = presentation.
JavaScript/Dom = dynamics.

I think we should be using things as they are intended instead of trying to hack together awkward un-semantic CSS to create image rollovers and image replacement.

Anyway back to the re-design you can check out my progress at http://www.edgedesigns.org/
