Personal Website Redesign

       In November I created my personal website, mainly to showcase my portfolio.  While I was looking for a good provider I ran across wix.com. At the time they were offering flash based websites for anyone without any Macromedia flash skills. Whit one year hosting special offer I decided to give it a try.

       I was very pleased with the freedom of the editor they offered, however this system has some downsides as well. For example, if you put many items on the site (pictures, effects, animations, etc...) it could decrease loading times rapidly and most importantly you don’t have access to the root folder uploaded files.

Due to loading times I was forced to utilize my design a bit and make some changes.



Above is shown my old design:
New design:

• Background automatic swap moved to optional trigger button
• Background changed to static non-pixelate image (old style is still present however image slideshow it is not loading at the start)
• Option to turn on ambient music removed
• Layout changed 
• Simplified for better performance (removed some effects, clip arts, animations and sounds) 

Experimenting with Contact Form and Follow Me section layout.
