So here am apeaking to you from the latest incarnation of kyleboyd.co.uk. Unreal to think that this is now the 6th version and I am glad to thnk that its one of the best.
I have been working on the site for over a month and finally gave it room to ’stretch her legs’ like any project or client work that I undertake I ultimate aim is to create a funkadelic, effective and user friendly website.Over the years I have wanted to create a CMS which would allow me to make a great looking website but more importantly gave it some strength so that updating could be easier but inlcude social media tools like twitter for example.
Wordpress became my friend.
I asked myself a question, what did I want from this new website?
- Blog more. I want to come up with new ideas and talk about them. I might even throw in a few ‘15 Greatest Blog posts’ type of posts too.
- Northern Ireland is really turning into a new creative hub and its an exciting time to be a designer, to do that I must be recognised. Therefore I bring you my new online home.
- Socialise more and meet with other creatives. With the help of twitter I have done this a little, but I wanted to concrete my arrival so thats why I have included my twitter updates on the new site.
- Wordpress. I wanted to learn wordpress. Its a great blogging tool and used in the right way it can be a great CMS too, which is what I’ve used for my new site. This makes things a whole lot handier to manage and there are a tonne of useful plugins available to help achieve certain tasks a lot quicker.
I hopefully will keep to my new deal, and I can achieve all I want to with this new online home. I appreciate any feedback so get commenting ;-)
