Welcome to the fourth reincarnation of maraid.co.uk

Since becoming a Web Designer I have found the most challenging job is designing a website for my business. The brief to myself is to design something that appeals to potential clients but also something I really like too. In my last redesign I suspect I thought too hard about the client side of things and ended up with something I wasn’t entirely happy with. This time I think I’ve got the balance right.

The other major change is the addition of a blog, an idea I have toyed with for a while. I didn’t have much of an inclination to write about web development but as more and more design blogs have become part of my daily read I have been inspired to join in. The plan is to write about design, photography, found images, typography and architecture. The things that inspire me. In the long term I would like to be scanning less images and creating more of my own, some of which may turn up from time to time.

The blog part of the website was built using WordPress. Which was as adaptable, easy to work with and all I had hoped for. As I started to build the site Firebug beta was released for Firefox which was indispensable for reworking the WordPress theme and is now used for every job I work on. I would also like to thank install4free for their assistance when I was having difficulties configuring my WordPress files for my server. Thank you.
