So, not too long ago I finished designing my personal website on WordPress CMS. This includes 4 pages and a custom designed blog. Now, I'm not a web-design guru, so things are bare minimum and as simple as possible. I'm also trying to keep it from being overly formal, with a little bit of personal, informal touch. With what I had in mind, how much do you think I have succeeded (or failed)? Any input/criticism will be appreciated. Here's my site: http://insidealcove.com/ Thanks. Maliha

Well, this might be a little long, but bare with me. =) So I started web design last year out of necessity. I started publishing a magazine and needed a website. Now, I was a full time student at that time, which means I was broke. The only other option was to do it all by myself. Now, thanks to some mandatory classes like html/css and C++, I have had a good understanding of how codes work, just never indulged myself into designing a site. So it was sort of exciting. After successful completion of my first website I started to have fun with it. Eventually I designed my personal website pretty much from scratch as well. Then a couple of months ago I designed an acquaintance's website as she had no way of paying for it. So I figured why not try to make some extra buck by doing it on the side? My strategy is simple really. I'm not a flash/jquery guru... all I can do are basic html/css stuff... and with a little help of an abundance of free available codes online, I can make the sites look pretty decent. I don't intend to charge anyone thousands of dollars, but a couple of hundred USD for a 5-6 page website should be okay, no? Your ideas and thoughts on this will be much appreciated.
