I’ve been working on this design for more than a year (!!!!), but mainly because I didn’t work on it that often and I was focusing on other stuff of my life.

There’s still a lot of work to be done  (the single page, archives, tags & categories, …), so it’s normal that some stuff doesn’t work right now. I hope to finish everything in the coming week though.

I’m quite happy with what I came up, I just need to fix one or two things and then I can start integrating the design.

soon soon soon!! I can’t wait!!

After the new design is up, I’ll start adding content on a regular basis for real this time.

L’idée de base est d’utiliser une couleur principale (en l’occurence, ce sera l’orange) et de donner au contenu beaucoup d’espace. Déjà, les premières ébauches sont plutôt intéressantes et je crois que je vais être beaucoup plus satisfait avec le nouveau design que celui que j’ai pour l’instant.

I’ve started working on a website for a hair salon here in Montréal. I’ve just finished the main draft and I have to say I’m quite happy with it, considering I’m a programmer and not a graphic designer (far from it).

Just to add a little wwwWOOOOW to the design, I’ve been searching for ideas on the web. I’ve check some other hair salon website in Montréal and I’ve got to say …. they look really bad. There’s this site that I used to get some ideas and I just ended laughing at most of the sites.

Finaly, I decided to use smashing magazine for this little wwwWOOOOW effect I want to add. Most of the showcase there are not about hair salon, but the design are really great. I hope to find real soon the little “plus” I trying to add.
