Website is almost done. Thankfully since I decided to pare things back and simplify the process the few bumps along the way have not caused too much of a time investment.
I have changed a couple of design elements during the process, from what I originally wanted. I hope in the end the site/portfolio is straight forward and user friendly.
There wont be anything fancy about it, but you have to work with what you've got, right.

Website Blues
Ugh. Im slowly moving forward on my newly designed website. Things are going pretty much according to plan, but there are a couple of things I cant seem to get quite right, and a couple of things I want to do, but might not be able to do.
I have serious limitations where web design is concerned. I dont know HTML and codeing, and I know that if I knew this it would be a lot easyer to get exactly what I want. Plus, im poor so I cant hire someone who knows this stuff to do it for me (which would be ideal!).
Anyway, im getting closer to the re-launch. Step by agonizing step.

New Website Design
I am pretty certain that I want to completely re-design my website.
Its about time that I did this, since I designed it, like, 7 years ago. The process is daunting however. I have gotten so used to the clunky thing, but its old, and too big, and lots of parts are unnecessary, PLUS the fact that I just dont update it ... at all anymore.
It takes soooooo much time to do.
Anyway, I have started making my wish list for all the changes I want to make and planning how im going to stream line it all. I am no longer attached to the idea that ever single piece of art I have ever created needs to be represented on my website. Some sites, of other artists, that I really like only have minimal artwork in the gallery. The best of the best. I LIKE THIS IDEA. Why am I wasting energy presenting artwork that isnt my best. The website is supposed to be a virtual business card, a portfolio, a first impression and I want it to show off my BEST. Plus I have new plans, new directions that are not the same as the ones I had 7 years ago, so my website should reflect that too.
Its going to be tough letting go of a lot of it. There are quite a few pieces that I wont show anymore, even though I really like them. How does one decide?!
