VayaDesign New Layout Preview

I've decided that it was time that VayaDesign was given a fresh lick of paint. The new site is probably still a little way off as client work has to come first, but I'm hoping that the finished product will be worth the wait and that a complete overhaul will be a real boost for the site.

A little preview of the new design can be seen to the right, here are some of the features I'm planning to include:

  • The blog will be integrated into the main site, instead of being a fairly incongruous bolt-on like it is at the moment.
  • The services area will be completely updated to include some of the more specific services I can offer, for instance vBulletin templates and building sites with Joomla/Mambo and other CMSs.
  • An updated and extended portfolio.
  • A 'mini-blog' section where I can post some of the more interesting links I come across. There are so many great resources I find on a daily basis but aren't really worth making a full post about, hopefully the 'mini-blog' will solve this and help keep things fresh.

After a lot of head-scratching and trying to decide on the best CMS for the job I think I will be opting for ExpressionEngine for the final thing. In a nutshell it looks as though it will make managing a fairly complex site structure fairly simple, the customer support looks good if I need it and I'm always a sucker for a nice interface. Once the site is up and running I'll be sure to post a review up, but in the meantime it certainly looks like a winner.
