Site changes: new design, new logo, etc!

Posted Friday, January 23, 2009 in Miscellaneous

So, I've launched a new design here at rasmussenphoto.com. The main changes include a wider content section to allow for larger photos, the blue on the sides instead of the gray pattern, new header images and a new logo. The new logo is a little more me, I think. I kept the orange circle part, but redid the text to make it a little more casual, like me

.

I've also finally put up an 'about ben' page. I'd been putting it off forever! It's nice and short, and a little cheesy. Again like me (except I'm really of average height

). I'm particularly pleased with the line about the 'wrinkly innocence of a newborn.'

Still to come are some new and revised info pages, including a new page about the two lines of albums that I offer and revisions to the weddings, portraits and pricing pages to make them more clear and helpful.

So, what do you think?

definitely dig the new logo. dig the wider page/content layout. still getting used to the blue on the sides. not sure about the header image size. it may be a bit too big. dig how the blue text ties in with the blue border, too. overall, i like the changes.

If the header image is too big, your monitor is too small

Just kidding, thanks for the comments.

not sure about the blue. it bugs me when I see it near the header image.

Yeah, the more I looked at it, the more I started to think the blue was too strong and distracted from the header image. So, I've changed it to a much lighter blue/gray.

Thanks for the comments.
