JLC Web Design

Over the last 6 months I have been designing a redesigning the website for my web design company, JLC Web Design. I feel like this time, I got it right. The new design consists of a new front end, with a lot more navigation/information, icons and a new portfolio layout. There is also a brand new back end.

With this redesign, I wanted the site to be completely dynamic. Since there is a lot more content, I wanted it to be easier for me to update or change information. So all content get’s pulled from a database, which in turn can be edited from the custom Content Management System (CMS) I built. With the CMS, I made it so I could add new content and edit/delete existing content. This includes users, FAQs, news items, websites and pages. I hope to eventually move the back end to be AJAX driven.

As for the front end, this was my first attempt at icons for a site I designed, and I am pretty happy with them. They are a simple icon set but I really think they add to the site. Also, since the site is dynamic, while some pages have a 3 column layout, others have a 2 column layout. This allows pages like the home page to house a lot of different information and pages like the services page to keep the full concentration on all of the services we have to offer. Each ‘module’ on the home page can also be changed with the click of a button- even the right navigation.

All in all, I am very happy with the official Version 3.0 of JLC Web Design. I hope my users are too. Later
