Last April I redesigned my portal site using a piece of typing paper, a Sharpie pen and a scanner. It was a hit, but it had two problems. I insultingly referred to INeedCoffee as the “old” coffee site and it was too large. Unless you had a large desktop monitor, it required vertical scrolling to see the bottom inch.
The 2010 touch up of MichaelAllenSmith.com is now 15% smaller and no longer uses the word “old” in front of INeedCoffee. You still need to scroll if you are on a netbook, but most desktop monitors should be able to see the bottom of the page now without scrolling.
I still love that design.
It reminds me a bit of Jeff Bridges‘ site. Though his is quite a bit heavier in terms of graphics.
Joe –
Thanks again for your help on cleaning up the code back in April. I get a lot of nice comments about this 1 page website.
