Yorgo Nestoridis New Semiomantics Website
You may wonder why I change my website … again. As my site serves as a prototype and sandbox for new Semiomantics developments, I need to adjust some design features to anticipate WordPress 3.0 features as well as to experiment with advanced media handlers.
Also, and this is not a joke, I am no longer happy with the performance, since I have built into our recent customer sites a device which outperforms my own script and which cannot run on the present framework.
The Look of Semiomantics
The look of my personal site will not change substantially; it will be essentially black and gray on white with some rare and mostly invisible touches of red or blue.
The main change concerns the Home Page which will follow the trend of our recent WP Best developments: short page with just a few highlights and a dominant featured image leading to an important editorial.
From a design point of view, I will keep it minimalistic as usual in order to put the content into the center of the development, as you can see from the screen-shot below, where the image of Vouliagmeni is the visual center of attraction.

The Fonts and Colors
I will play with different font combination and redesign my labels and banners using professional fonts on photoshop. As the site is extensively widgetized, there are about 15 places where labels and banners can be placed, right into the framework. Using different sets of banners and labels, designed in different styles, the site can change face with just a few mouseclicks without the need to touch anything which impacts on the performance.
While the site will remain in the black to white scale with some touches of red or blue, the banners and labels will fit in like skin elements while still being utilities.
For the time being I am still loading script elements. Tomorrow I will take care of the front page content.
See you then.
