For Christmas 2009 I decided to build my girlfriend a website. She was using Blogger to write about about the things she makes (shes a costume student and a creative type), and even though it did the job, I knew I could do better. The aim was also to start setting up a simple online portfolio for when she finishes university.
Since we both didn’t have much time to work on it (she helped me with the design) I used WordPress and the Bueno Theme from Woo Themes. As you can tell I edited the front end to give it a more polished feel. Ive just updated it to version 2, which tided up a lot of the messy bits in the original design. I was inspired a lot by Simon Collison’s amazing re-design. I’m hoping to get version 3 up in the summer with the theme built from from scratch with a lot of design improvements, and be a lot more portfolio orientated.
