Design by Satori – Web Redesign – Part 2
Posted by Claudiu Geanta in Web Design on December 26, 2009
This is part 2 of this series. You can view Part 1 here.
I decided to split the main screen in 2 sections, after the “slideshow” on the billboard. One section will cover copy about myself, talents, skills, etc. and the right sidebar will include “Services” and “Design by Satori featured in”.
The sidebar will change according to whatever page I’m on and display information with links for easy navigation. For example, if on “Portfolio” page, the sidebar will include:
- Web Portfolio – with copy and my best samples
- Before & After Design Portfolio – section with jobs I took over and redesigned sites for clients
- Logo & Branding Portfolio – samples of my work along with copy of logo and branding
- Brochures Portfolio
- Print Portfolio
- Graphics Portfolio
For the “Portfolio” page I am currently using thumbnails but after reading some more on Smashing Magazine, I reached the conclusion that thumbnails should be eliminated and large pictures of the design work should be displayed without leaving people guess what every thumbnail would be.
An explanation of each project will be a nice add-on (and that will give me some more tags and keywords that would please the All Mighty Google). Of course “Calls to Action” with “Contact” information would be present next to each project, allowing the web viewer to immediately take action once convinced the work is up to his/her standards.
In conclusion – the below shows where the change will occur:
