Yorgo Nestoridis New Semiomantics Website

You may won­der why I change my web­site … again. As my site serves as a pro­to­type and sand­box for new Semi­oman­tics devel­op­ments, I need to adjust some design fea­tures to antic­i­pate Word­Press 3.0 fea­tures as well as to exper­i­ment with advanced media handlers.

Also, and this is not a joke, I am no longer happy with the per­for­mance, since I have built into our recent cus­tomer sites a device which out­per­forms my own script and which can­not run on the present framework.

The look of my per­sonal site will not change sub­stan­tially; it will be essen­tially black and gray on white with some rare and mostly invis­i­ble touches of red or blue.

The main change con­cerns the Home Page which will fol­low the trend of our recent WP Best devel­op­ments: short page with just a few high­lights and a dom­i­nant fea­tured image lead­ing to an impor­tant editorial.

From a design point of view, I will keep it min­i­mal­is­tic as usual in order to put the con­tent into the cen­ter of the devel­op­ment, as you can see from the screen-shot below, where the image of Vou­liag­meni is the visual cen­ter of attraction.

Yorgo Nestoridis New Semi­oman­tics Site

I will play with dif­fer­ent font com­bi­na­tion and redesign my labels and ban­ners using pro­fes­sional fonts on pho­to­shop. As the site is exten­sively wid­getized, there are about 15 places where labels and ban­ners can be placed, right into the frame­work. Using dif­fer­ent sets of ban­ners and labels, designed in dif­fer­ent styles, the site can change face with just a few mouseclicks with­out the need to touch any­thing which impacts on the performance.

While the site will remain in the black to white scale with some touches of red or blue, the ban­ners and labels will fit in like skin ele­ments while still being utilities.

For the time being I am still load­ing script ele­ments. Tomor­row I will take care of the front page content.

See you then.
