More indecision

[jan_andrea]

Should I redesign my personal site (link in the left-hand column)? I can't decide! I like this as a motif:



because I am tired of the blue-ness of my site as it stands, as well as the too-eclectic fonts I use for navigation. Would also like to make the whole thing consume less bandwidth, using more text and fewer graphics, and clean it all up. That would make it easier for people to print, I think. That, and the whole "Reverend Jan" thing feels really five-years-ago to me; I just don't feel like that's my persona anymore.

On the other hand, I think my visitors have come to expect the look as it is. Plus, even though I used stylesheets and frames, so it won't take long to make the changes, there are always things that get lost in a redesign. I haven't gotten any negative comments about the current design, and indeed get compliments from time to time.

On the third hand, if I'm trying to be credible as a web designer, my own site should be the best of my work, and I don't feel that it is in its current incarnation. But is the alternative any better, or would you change things in that?

Thanks, invisible friends!

Thanks, everyone! I decided to go ahead and change it. I kept Reverend Jan in a few places, and replaced the line drawings with pictures of my own computer. I also rearranged and tightened up some things (got rid of "Eclectica", for example, and put those files elsewhere).

Change is good!
