I've added a couple more sites to my portfolio. I enjoyed
developing each of these sites, as neither of them took much
of my time.
You will more than likely recognize this first
site, kjvandfamily.com, as I
used the same WordPress template, with a few minor
modifications.

What's wrong with this site?

At immediate glance, there doesn't seem to be too much
wrong with this site.
What are your thoughts now?

Warning! You won't see this unless you scroll to
the bottom.
If you are going to have a warning message that's this
important, why are you putting it at the bottom of
the page, after the fold (1024 x 768)?

My wife and I are at
the age where our friends are having kids. So to keep
friends and family updated on their kids daily activities, a
majority of them maintain their own blogs. Well, as I mentioned before, Quinn (my
wife) and I are expecting. That means that we need a blog
to keep our friends and family updated. So, I asked Quinn
to come up with some ideas for what she wanted our site to
look like. She gave me some great ideas, and I put together
a home page mockup in PhotoShop. When we decided on the
final design, I began working on the CSS and HTML. The CMS
I decided to go with is WordPress. It's pretty
simple to use, and I love the functionality it provides, and
the freedom you have to incorporate it into any design. The
fact that it's free, and very simple to install, made for an
easy decision as well. In all, I was able to purchase a
domain, setup hosting, and complete the design, CSS and HTML
in about 48 hours. I must say that I'm very happy with how it turned out, and
equally as excited that my wife has now joined the
blogosphere. So, have a look around, and enjoy.
