As many of you know, I lost my “real” job back in January. I still haven’t landed a full-time position, but my “on the side” web design business has really taken off. I don’t know that it’s stable enough to become a career, but for now I’m comfortable telling people that I’m a Freelance Web Developer (that sounds fancy, huh?).

I’ve had enough business lately that it was time to update my “company site” at wittmania.com. Like the handy man who never fixes the hole in his own roof, I was having trouble finding time to get to it. Until, that is, the database behind the site crashed. I didn’t have a recent backup, and the site needed some work anyway. So, I rebuilt it.

Overall, I’m pleased with how it turned out. I maintained the same color scheme but completely reworked the layout, content, and functionality. I like how the main page “banner” worked out. I think it catches your attention and explains what I do and why a business would want to hire me.

I spent a fair amount of time on the portfolio page. The “carousel” viewer enabled me to show numerous client site examples in a smaller space, while still allowing for larger (600×400px) images.

I would, of course, very much appreciate your feedback on the new site. What do you like about it? What could be done better, or differently? Did you find a bug or a typo? Let me know!

And, if you come across anyone who needs a new small business, church, or non-profit website, feel free to send them my way. Thanks!
