Hot off the press is a new screenshot of the new theme I have commissioned for this site. This will be the last screenshot, as although it’s not perfect, I think it will be easier to make changes to a live site.
The theme is being built by SmartPixelDesign, and so far I’ve been very happy with their work.
Let me know if you have any comments on the latest theme screenshot – read this post to learn what I’m trying to achieve with this theme. The things I want to continue working on are:
- The fonts need to be bigger than in the current theme
- I’m not happy with the new logo – I need to find one I like. I do like the header background but overall the header is too big and is pushing the fold down
- The search entry field needs to be bigger
- ‘Money Makers’ needs to look better
- I need to see if I can create a tagcloud that I like (and if I have space)
- logo is making header too big – needs to be smaller (I need to find a logo I like as well)
- Maybe make the site name a different colour to make it stand out
- I like the sidebar colour, but I think the sidebar modules should have diff background to white
- Experiment with colours to brighten it up a bit e.g use the yellow/orange link colour used in the footer for post titles and links?
- I’m not sure if I like the grey background under each post – maybe a paler colour?
That’s it for now. If you have any comments, ideas, suggestions on how the next iteration can be better then please leave a comment – I really want this to be collaborative project.
