Web Design For Idiots

I finally did it. I finally resurrected this blog and got it to a place where I feel like it looks pretty, is organized, and will supply readers with much needed newbie friendly tutorials.

Now, you might ask “Why would a website design blog use a template? Can’t you create your own?”

Well, yes – I could create my own, and one day I will create a fully custom wordpress template for this blog but until then, why not use what I consider to be one of the prettiest themes on the net! I almost don’t want to share with you where I got it because it’s so pretty and so unique that I feel like everyone will want it and then I will have to revert to doing something custom again. So even though it is against my better judgment, and because I feel that the designer deserves a big round of applause, check out ZinePress over at Well Medicated.

With that being said there will be some changes going on around here. I plan on offering more website design tutorials based around wordpress. As a website designer I have been using wordpress more and more mainly because my clients seem to be a lot more keen on the admin interface. I also will go back to offering website feedback!

The website feedback section was one of the most popular categories on this blog. I don’t know if people enjoyed watching me rip other websites apart, or they truly were looking for honest critique, but either way – it’s back and it’s better than ever! Why? Because I, myself, have learned a lot in the world of website design and usability. I have moved my field of practice from simple to design to user interface and information architecture. I love to find solutions to usability problems and I would be happy to help you do the same.

So again, this blog is back and open for business. I have cleared out all past comments and really will be starting fresh, so comment, email, whatever you want! I’d love to hear your feedback!

Also, Web Design For Idiots is seeking writers! If you have some web design/ development knowledge, you like to keep up with news in the web world, or you are just jumping into it and would like to chronical your experience and get global feedback, contact me! I’d love to have you as part of our team!

Want to know who is offering this awesome content? Here it is! Someone who is relatively new to web design. I am new enough to still remember how absolutely frustrating it was to try and get anything done in this field, but have also been around long enough to be able to help those that are where I was a year ago. Aside from web design, I run the office of my dad's engineering business, and do book keeping by trade. I love my pets.. All 6 cats, 1 peg legged dogs, and 1 hedgehog. LOVE THEM!! Oh yea, and my husband. He lets me chase my dreams and I let him do the same. We are happy people because of it. Read more from this author
