MarkEvansTech.com launch

December 13th, 2006 / 6 comments / design

Mark Evan’s (the VP of Operations at b5media) launched his new blog today. It was my first full design for b5 since their homepage redesign. It’s simple, red, and I tried to do something a little different with the typography than I normally do.

I’m still tweaking the design a little bit, finishing up the coding, and making a few changes that Mark has requested, but I the site is 99% done and I am happy with it. It’s not a crazy WordPress implementation or a unique blog format, but I like that it’s a clean blog design that gives Mark a professional place to discuss technology.

My next project with b5 is going to be quite a bit bigger: creating a template that can be implemented across their entire network for 150+ blogs.

What Next?

    Hi Ben,

    sorry to report this, but for me, running Opera 9.02, the site is a total mess. Looks like all posts on the homepage are written above each other.

    If you want, I can send you a screenshot. Let me know at: bacher AT graue-substanz DOT net

    Cheers

    Frank - I am working on making it all look good in different browsers right now.

    I must have made a stupid mistake positioning the post divs…

    Hi Ben,

    now that I can actually “judge” the design I have to say it’s crisp and clear. Nothing that confuses the reader. Thumbs up! :-)

    Cheers
