September 30, 200917 yr I am attempting to redesign my portfolio site but am once again hitting a recurring brick wall. Being more of a coding enthusiast I tend to try and design from the code to website as opposed to going from drawing to code, the whle designing process seems a little bit boring for me but I know that it is a must. How long do you guys normally spend knocking together your design for a site? An average will do, as I am fully aware that the length of time will vary dependant on the project. Thanks
September 30, 200917 yr 6+ hours for mine, just design that is.. if you hit a brick wall with designing I suggest getting some inspiration from all the css galleries out there. I strongly suggest coding to the design, not the other way around, as your portfolio is, in essence your storefront, if it looks ****e no one's gonna want to work with you, no matter what the code looks like! But yea 6 hours or more normally for the 'look'.
September 30, 200917 yr Could be any amount of time really. I spent days designing my current portfolio, constantly changing things until I was finally happy. Your portfolio is by far your strongest selling tool, so it's well worth investing the time. Mines only been live for 6 months or so and I've already started planning the redesign. It doesn't take long before you see design elements on other sites that you want to incorporate into your own.
