My site was due for a makeover. I actually created 2 new designs, and would love to know which one you like more.
The live version I definitely like. My idea here was to focus on my recent work, and most importantly give a clean and modern feel. I like the overall tone, and feel it goes with my name and brand.
The first version I actually like a lot too. This one I had been working on for a while. However, I still felt it was missing something, and could feature my work a little better.
I think the main thing with both of these versions, is keeping things simple and clean. That’s what I am all about. Also, don’t think you can steal the second design since I am not currently using it… I most likely will work it into a future client. Or who knows, maybe a do an A/B test using both designs.
For those of you who would like to know, I used Spry to handle the animations. I created my own function that handles the timer to make it move on it’s own, as well as highlight the current number. Also, I used a simple function to pull my latest WP blog posts. The blog and portfolio are currently being redesigned. In the meantime, let’s get some feedback.

I like “The First Version” better. I think “The Live Version” is too cluttered.
My only suggestion for “The first version” is to crop the photograph at the top (the child on the beach). It seems to push the rest of the page content too far down the page.
You do very good work.
