Design Woes

Posted at 7:59 pm by & filed under WrongDecade News.

I am so indecisive sometimes! I have mentioned a few times lately how I have a new site design that I’m working on. The version I have settled with is the fourth and usually it doesn’t take me that long to work out what I want. Now that I have everything almost-finished and have even added it to my WordPress themes, I think I want to do something completely different!

Are you kidding me, brain?! Seriously, stop this nonsense, will you? I don’t have time to be twittering around with this stuff at such a leisurely pace, thank you very much!

I think I will have to come to a compromise and settle for tweaking the design that’s almost finished a little more, before I actually reveal it. I really like having fluid widths so that anyone using any screen resolution can view my site with relative ease, but the new design is not fluid and the width is quite large. While I know many people are using larger screen resolutions, there are some who still use 800×600 and I don’t want them to have to hassle with a horizontal scrollbar. Plus that would just irk me as it would feel marred and too imperfect. Not that my designs are ever perfect — that doesn’t exists — but I do like to shoot for it. :p

    That happens to me too. I finally get around to coding the theme and it’s ready for upload…but then I get bored of it and scratch it completely and start all over again. -_-
    I don’t think many people still use 800×600, if at all. The machine would have to be super, super old, but even my really old pc was set to 1024×786. If you designed for 800×600, it might look really small on the larger resolutions.

      What you say about resolution is true, too. Ugh, maybe I’ll just leave what I’ve already done! I can’t be bothered and I’m so over it right now. :p

    Every time I try to change my design I end up driving myself crazy. I have had the same ones for a while now, but just recently I have been thinking about new templates. I don’t know if I am ready for it emotionally.

      I can get emotionally attached to mine, too! I’m loath to see them go, but at the same time I crave change.
