The Real Pixelyzed 3.0 is Live (and Back with Headway)

Sometime last week I finally fin­ished the “real” pix­e­lyzed 3.0 redesign and switched the theme of the site back to Headway. I’m very happy to be back to Headway and will talk about it more in future posts as I truly think it’s the best WordPress theme frame­work for pro­fes­sion­als doing client sites on WordPress.

The 3.0 design will prob­a­bly be tweaked and evolve with time but I do not con­sider it tran­si­tional as I’d done with all the ver­sions between it and the orig­i­nal pix­e­lyzed 1.0 design (the one with the “pix­els” grid). It is pur­pose­fully sim­ple and I will help me con­cen­trate on cre­at­ing con­tent. Continue Reading →

My Journey to WordPress — New Design Up!

As I already explained pre­vi­ously, on April 5th (2010), I migrated pix​e​lyzed​.com from another blog­ging plat­form to WordPress. Last night I changed from the free theme I’d been using to my own new design which I inte­grated into WordPress using the Thesis theme (more about Thesis below). Continue Reading →

New Site Launch!

Today I just launched my wife’s site after work­ing on it on and off for months. Isabelle is a very tal­ented artist-​painter and this project has been a labour of love for us :)

The design is min­i­mal­ist and the lay­out is very sparse. I wanted to put the empha­sis on her art­work where it belongs. There’s a small Flash slideshow on the right that acts as a teaser but the gallery itself is all HTML/​CSS/​JavaScript (jQuery) and fully acces­si­ble with JavaScript off.

We are still work­ing on minor text con­tent adjust­ments and I’m hav­ing issues with the jQuery val­i­da­tion script on the con­tact page in IE6. I may remove the client-​side val­i­da­tion on that page alto­gether as I do a server-​side check as well (no nicely for­mat­ted mes­sages but it works).

In any case, please visit the site at the fol­low­ing URL. As you will see, Isabelle does a lot of spe­cial order work (por­traits and other things) so do not hes­i­tate to con­tact her to dis­cuss your project.
