Welcome, internet userz.

So, this marks my new blog. This URL, how ever is only temporary until I create my website once again (Over at http://www.rockbigdave.co.uk/ )

This blog is going to hold the key to my success! Well, my research and development for my PPD3 module at Uni. This includes my website build, so you will see lots about it here. :D

And, my first post... About my website! :D



So the main thing I want to do with this website is really stand out from the others. There are many ways too do this I have seen after browsing many, many CSS Galleries and the ones that stick out are horizontal scrolling websites, one page websites, quirky design websites and also rather interactive websites. Anything you see on somewhere like... http://www.csselite.com/ is inspiring to the upmost level I could every try to explain on here. It just.. shows me what I already knew was possible and more!

I have delegated the coding to someone who knows their shiz when it comes to code, though. Instead of myself trying to code it up like I did with my last theme/layout, I'd rather design it as I am a designer and then let an experienced coder slap it together. :)

It's going to be Wordpress again like my last website for 2 reasons. 1: I really like the platform it offers as a whole, and 2: I spent enough time asking my mate Mark (Who he and I share server space) to get everything installed so WP can be installed, I'd feel a bit heartless if I was to change over to something else now. :)

That aside, I need a layout and a theme. One of which I do believe I have sorted. :) I have opted for a one page design. Much like WeBleedDesign and AttackOfTheWeb. I reallllly like the styles that this layout can adopt. It also is very free in the way you can layout the website, I find when I do website designs I do a homepage, blog, portfolio, contact/about page and links. It would seem I am oldskool and this is no longer some sort of standard. It probably wasn't ever standard, but I used it as default for my designs as so many other people had it like that. Anyway, one page it is and I have kinda come up with a rough layout of how I want the sections to be. As illustrated below:



The colours are just so things stand out, by the way, lol.

SO that's my idea so far. Just throwing more things around before I even think about finalising this. Sizes and stuff too are not 100% certain yet, I want to do some mock ups before I dedicate myself to anything.
