Uniq Sites

Recently Uniq Sites was asked to redesign the home page for the newly formed Shoal River Middle School of Crestview, Florida.

I built this site almost a year ago when I decided that I wanted to try my hand at freelancing specializing in small business website design. Looking back it’s amazing how much I’ve learned and how my website design and programming skills have evolved. I haven’t been happy with the design on this website for some time now. I don’t think it was ever bad. But it certainly wasn’t my best work either. About a month ago I began the process of redesigning the website. As a result Uniq Sites now has a revised logo, a new website design and a blog.

The Logo
I spent about a month revising the logo before I began working on the website design. I wanted to adapt it to further help project Uniq Sites as a professional yet approachable small business website design company. I think the revised logo defiantly conveys that message. I’m very happy with the way the that S and the E came out.

Here’s the old logo:

And the new revised one:

Was it really an improvement? Comment below to let me know what you think.

The Website
It took me almost another month after finalizing the logo to finalize the website design and then to develop it. I had the same goals for the new website design as I did for the logo. I think the new design suites the direction of the website much better.

And here’s the old website design:

And the new one:

How about this? Is it better?

The Blog
Since I decided to start freelancing I’ve wanted to add a blog to Uniq Sites. Now that I think about it, I’m not really sure why I haven’t until now. And to be honest, I decided at the last minute to include it in this new version of Uniq Sites. My obvious lack of planning accounts for the unincorporated design for the blog portion of the website. Right now it is just he default WordPress theme with a few minor changes. I promise in the future I will theme the blog to match the rest of Uniq Sites.

Well, I guess that concludes my first official blog post for Uniq Sites. There will definately be more in the future so please subscribe to the RSS feed.
