JMA Design Studio Website Redesign

So after careful planning and brainstorming I went ahead and decided to give my website a complete redesign. The previous design was good, but wasn't exactly what I wanted for my own site. I was hoping to make the design studio look professional and reach out to more people in the business world. With the new design I was able to provide a neutral background that could have different colors applied to it. The whole website itself is able to be scalable, meaning you can adjust the browser to any width while having the content move with it. There is a blog section and a FAQ section as well. I really wanted to have an area where potential clients can get answers to their questions, so I made sure to have an FAQ page.



It took me 3 weeks to complete the site. I designed it and laid it out in a couple days with Photoshop, then spent the rest of the time doing the development in Flash. It was hard to decide whether it be best to do a Flash site or a traditional HTML/CSS site. When browsering the web for inspiration I stumbled onto a great site that allowed me to get inspired and get the creative energy flowing. The site I referenced was done in Flash, so that helped with the decision of doing another Flash site for myself. I'm 100% happy with the new design, I'm happy and very confident in telling people to check out my website, and I'm happy to see what will happen as a result of the new design. I hope to gain work and continue to build upon the site and offer many more services if possible. I'm including a video that I did a couple days ago on YouTube that also relates to the new website.

Thanks for reading, take care.
