Diary of a website goes pink
Just like last year this site has gone Pink for October. I’d like to introduce you to Cherry the new flavour for this blog. With Cherry things around here have changed a fair bit. This flavour was a long time coming and I haven’t updated the site with my usual flavour a season until this one. This is based on the design I’ve made for the Pink for October site and I plan in the next week or so to release a Wordpress theme based on this format.

Every designer needs a usability check every now and then
There is a phrase “Jack of all trades and master of none”. To me this is a sort of gentle reminder that you shouldn’t try to do everything with a website. Of course, this depends on the scale of that site. It’s sort of automatic that you will cover the basics of usability when designing – a small amount is of course common sense. The problem I have really is that as designers we complain a lot about people doing it for themselves and assuming they don’t need to go to a designer to get a great site. So, why do we assume that the sites we designer or develop don’t need a usability expert?

Here comes autumn and a new flavour
As of last night I just finished the rough theme make up of Cherry, the new flavour for this site. It’s loosely based on the theme I have created for the pink for october site and plan to release as a wordpress theme. Yes, this is the first flavour that in some respects you will be able to own yourself, with a slant on the pink for october theme.
