My old site.. and blog

Postby chaitanyak » 23 Feb 2010, 05:45

have had this site or a few years now.. i came from a web design background, so had done a website for my self back in my college days :)

i redesigned it a few years back.. and since then have been haphazardly adding on stuff...
need to do another redesign soon.. its looking too much like a portal now!

anyway the site is at http://www.chaitanyak.com
theres is a section called "cg challenge", this is where all my entries into the cgarena contests and other contests can be found- http://chaitanyak.com/cgchallenges.html

these days i actually spend more time on my
blog http://my.opera.com/chaitanyak/blog/
on twitter- http://twitter.com/chaitanyak
youtube channel- http://www.youtube.com/c2ktheotherartist

as you can see i've maintained the same look and feel(of my site) at all these places.. i feel it not only makes one's "brand" a lot stronger this way, but also projects a certain level of seriousness to one's work .. :D

Nice website, now you become more a social networking websites user :) but dont you think after working on your yellow site, quite difficult for eyes to concentrate anywhere else for next few seconds.

it was a concern in the beginning, thats why i reduced the colour brightness to a duller shade.. but i guess it still would look bright on some monitors.. :) will put it on the list of things to re-look at when i redesign the site.. remember this particular design off the site is atleast 3yrs old

also consider that its not a site you would spend more than 20min on per session.. and you definitely won't visit it everyday :) unlike a portal or forum like site where it would be open in one of your tabs 24x7 so you can constantly check updates..and moderate and stuff
