Well as you can see the website has been through another layout change. This is the third in as many weeks. You know what they say, Third time lucky.
THe reason for these changes is, although a website may look fine with test data or even earlier in it’s mockup stage, by the time it is set live and the real content is placed in there are all sorts of slight changes and tweaks required to the style sheet that it often moves away from the original design.
So what inspired this latest design. Well if you had been following the previous two design you would have noticed that at each update they were simplified. I am a great believer in a simple website, but i’ll talk more on this in a minute. Anyway the latest layout is in it’s simplest form. As you can see I have opted for large text, and a more left aligned text format for easy reading.
What I was talking about when I mentioned “a simple website” was that I personally along with quite a few other great designers that websites have become cluttered. This has happened over time as clients demand realise the power of having a website, thus demanding more content on the site.
This is finalising our brand relaunch so we opted to remove all the content and start fresh. As you can see the front page is very simple, it states a clear message and allows site visitors quick access to information they might be interested in. ON the internal pages we still have a side bar to house various bits of information but the main content space is very simple.
For those that don’t know actually building and designing a simple website is often harder then one with lots of information. With a simple layout you still require all the content but you need to space it in such a way that is calming and clean.
If you site is quite cluttered drop me an email and we can have a look at it.
