Screen-shot of the new design for Aimee's Website

It has been a long time since I’ve actually designed a website/theme from start to finish, mocking it up, slicing and implementing it. I did one over the last few days for my girlfriend Aimee and realised how out of practise I am. It wasn’t really my CSS skills lacking but in Photoshop I really am not the most imaginative person. Anyway, I got an idea one night for a theme for Aimee’s website and got up in the morning and mocked it all up.

I never got around to fixing it in Internet Explorer, I don’t imagine it works correctly, for one, I didn’t put in the IE PNG Fix, and I definitely used 24-bit transparent PNGs in there. However, it works in Safari, Firefox and Opera and that seems to be all the Aimee cares about so that is that for now, maybe some fixes another day.

I put it live this afternoon, it could definitely use a few tweaks and finishing touches but I think I’m happy with how it came out.

Aimee is planning on moving around the structure of her site, which is using WordPress. In that respect the navigation isn’t particularly useful at the moment and the front page is going to be a static page rather than her blog.

Also, I got bored near the end and put a weird little Easter egg into the theme, try double-clicking the wings.
