Around a month ago I switched this blog to Pure Blog, at the same time, I decided to simplify the design and give it a new lick of paint. Here's what it looked like:It was okay. But I've done the box-shadow thing before, and I really wanted something different. The problem was, I didn't know what I wanted.InspiredMy wife and I recently went away for the weekend. While away, we stopped off at a lovely little coffee shop where they served us water and a pot of tea from these beautifully coloured pots.The mustard yellow and the steel blue are just beautiful; they work so well together, and I immediately decided I wanted to use this kind of palette for my next website design.Since Monday I've been working on the re-design (something that's really simple to do with Pure Blog). it's now ready and I've launched the new site this evening. Here's what it looks like now:Light modeDark modeI thought about using the mustard colour for the entire background, but since this is a blog, reading experience is very important, and I felt I was straining my eyes when reading in full mustard mode. So I toned it down to this nice cream colour, and stuck with mustard for the header and footer only. While I was there I also got rid of the box-shadow effect to simplify the site header even more.I have to say, I'm really happy with the result.There's bound to be some little bug or caching issues here and there, which I'll mop up as I discover them.
