Internet website design

Fri, 21 Mar 2014 18:29:38 GMT

To accommodate the touchscreen that most (?) people seem to use while online, a lot of websites are changing their designs to make access easier. MSNBC/NBC has done this change to a radical degree. I confess I sort of like it.

But it begs the question. Should I make my website more touchscreen-friendly?

Shades of Slash site and logo design

Tue, 08 Oct 2013 10:30:11 GMT

Would like to know what you think. I must say that I'm rather proud of the logo, done in Photoshop. I think the site colors are good, and only a smidgen's worth of sarcasm on "purple prose". *g*

Reading Colors Preferences and Download Options

Thanks for replying! And for those who didn't offer an opinion, perhaps I'll take my samples as the average. ;)

My eyes are getting more sensitive as time goes on. And I need new glasses (have exam next month).

I used to love light grey text on dark backgrounds (not black, too stark), and I still do---hence the theme on DW.

I'm not a big fan of black on white. It's just as stark to read as white on black, and I'm very glad to have the brightness adjustment on my Kindle Fire. ;)

I prefer soft readability. I bounce back and forth in what colors I like, whether dark brown text on beige background or dark grey on light grey or grey-beige. Sometimes, I'm in a strange purple mood--Violet-grey on grey-lavender. Sounds horrible, I know. But sometimes my eyes feel better with "coloring" other than black/white or grey/greyer.

I think I've decided that after I've gotten my fanfic design finished, I'll create a bunch of .pdf and .doc files for download. At the moment, this decision is great but I know I'll rethink it after I'm halfway through all my stories. ;)

For the Joysgate graphics site, not the fanfic.

If you need something, email me. Bought the new theme and starting now, will be reworking all my content to fit.
