A great example!

Wow! I found a site I like in many ways. Take a look at this one. I love how they've done the navigation. It has the right-hand navigation I was hoping to get. They put the major sections across the top. I like it a lot.

In fact, there are several things I like about the design of this site.

• I love the soft colors, though lavender is perhaps too feminine for this project. The soft colors are pleasing, but don't compete for attention. The content is highlighted.
• I like the small header. I want mine to change from section to section, but I'd like it to stay relatively small.
• If you go to their home page, you'll see the word "unforgettable" is more pale than "web design". That's what I was trying to describe with all of my earlier rambling. Each section (home, narrative, vita, etc) would have it's own header so the viewer can keep track of where they are. The section title would be the more prominent word and my name in smaller and less prominent color and font would also appear. I'm not sure what I'd like to do for the banner on the home page.
• I love how this designer used white space! Even on a page with a lot of text it's not overwhelming. The vertical spacing allows the text to "breathe".
• this feels understated, elegant and uncluttered to me. Since there will be so much text in my portfolio, the uncluttered feel will be especially important.
