Chrisbloczynski.com Redesign

Chris Bloczynski is one my clients. Since his blog is relatively new and didn’t have the necessary requirements to enter my “Custom & Unique Wordpress Themes For Your Blog” giveaway, he wanted to pay for a custom theme. Well, because he is a paying customer, I had to move him up in my to do list. His design was ready about a month ago, but he has recently changed his design. Eventhough I did the whole design and coding of the theme, Jerry Gartner of Gartner Web Development has helped to add the functionality, Chris wanted.

I know all you will be asking how much it cost to Chris, I ‘ll tell you right now: $200. All of my designs are fully optimized. The xhtml and css coding are all validated and the total size of the images on Chris’s site is only 9,40 Kb. Thats what I call a fast loading website.

Here is how the theme looked originally:

So what do you think? Is mine or the one modified by Jerry Gartner is better? I think the original one looks a little more “sleek”.

PS: I have to copy Chris’s surname from his MSN address everytime to find his website. He need to add more wovels to his surname :p

I didn’t do anything to the look of the site except some subtle css tweaks - even looks good in IE ;). The sidebar was also widgetized so Chris doesn’t have to call a web developer every time he wants to change things up a bit. Chris said that the giant rrs image he put in gets more clickthroughs than the old site (pre-TurkHitbox) rss graphic did.

TurkHitBox did a great job with the look and feel of the site. I think that visitors will really find it easy to navigate and find the information that they are looking for. Really nice logo too!
