A new look for the site…

New Site DesignYup, new look for the site now live. I wanted the site to more accurately reflect my personality, to be a bit more appealing and fun while remaining easy to navigate and easy to read.

There are very few content or structure changes, this was largely a change of the look and feel, although I did add a few internal links in the footer which use some terms I’m competing for as the anchor text, so I’ll be curious as to whether there is any noticable change in the SERPS (search engine results pages).

Google has been toying with where to position me again, and I have been bouncing around between position 4 and 15 for the term ‘web design cork’.

While I expect to end up somewhere between the two at the moment, I see it as a good sign – I reckon a couple of quality links are what I need to convince Google I should be on that first page permanently!

I’ll be donning my thinking cap re quality links over the next couple of weeks to see what I can come up with :)

Oh, I also added a Stuff I Love page with a regularly changing ‘recent’ section as well as more permanent list of friends and acquaintances I admire.

If you’re based in Cork and are involved in techie type stuff, leave a comment below, especially if you think I might not be aware of you – I’m trying to build myself a better picture of what’s happening in Cork :)

Hope you like the new look…

Nice! So that’s why you changed your Twitter avatar! Liking the new design except for the comment form.
Name, email and url boxes shouldn’t be to the right of this text box IMO.

Very nice design though!

Nice soft feel. I’m looking for designers to outsource some work and looking for new design for my site. I only do programming and back end stuff.

maybe we can do something.

peace

You’re dead right Joe – but I have a new portfolio site on the way. It’s getting close to completion as we speak!
