I was forced to think about this yesterday.
I received an email via my design website DotsnDashes.
The email was sent using my contact form. Now I get many different emails via that medium. Some ask for quotes, others for link building, some for information and so on. On average, they are normal emails, some casual, some formal but none bordering on rudeness. However, the one I received yesterday was a tiny bit different.
I’ll be able to explain more effectively if I show you how it starts:

I know I do!
And that is what I have been getting so far for MiniSitePacks.com
Here’s some of the feedback:
“Unfortunately, I don’t have time to test right now, but I just wanted to say it *looks* great!
”
“Signed up and started testing…..so far so good….
Looks like a really good site and the designs are very good….well done…”
“Looks great Erum!
I’ll dig into it more here in a bit, but so far so good
Might want to draw a bit more attention to the “sign up” link, I did have a bit of trouble finding it at first…”
Advice taken into consideration and the signup link is now in the menu and in bold letters next to the login.

I can dance for joy!
I finally managed to get the programming completed on MiniSitePacks.com
The site is now open for Beta Testing. If you are one of the first ten to twenty people to register you will also receive 10 free credits for testing purposes. You can use the product you download as part of the beta testing as a thank you for your help.
But please don’t sign up just ‘cos you are getting something for free. I need serious beta testers.
In case you are wondering what the product is. The website provides minisite packs..these are complete designs including header, footer, order button, tick marks, background and ecover. A basic XHTML and CSS file is also included.
These help jazz up your minisite. Get visitors to stay longer and get a positive impression of you and your product. Other than these packs you can also download individual 3DEcovers from MiniSitePacks.com
So if you are one of those people who have really wanted to try out 3DEcovers but didn’t want to invest in the whole package, here’s your chance to get the individual ecover actions you wanted.
Just go to MiniSitePacks.com and register to receive the free credits. Report any bugs and/or feedback using the contact form at the website. And thank you in advance.

The problem with being a web designer is that when you get tired of your blog design and want to change it, you can. And I seriously need to stop doing that considering I just re-designed less than a month back.
I just wasn’t too happy with that design, though. It was just too different from my business site DotsnDashes. This one isn’t exactly a replica either but it has similarities and uses some of the basic design features from that website.
I’m thinking I’ll stick to this design for a bit.
So what do you think?

In that case let me present to you the The Non-Designer’s Design Book
This has to be one of the most recommended design book of all times.
Why?
It is a very simple read. It is great for beginners and acts as a good reference for designers who have been at it a bit.
It offers design guidelines with great examples on how to properly utilize them. While, at the same time there are examples of designs that do not follow the guidelines and still look great!
Bottom line: Design guidelines are just that – guidelines. They are not rules that have to be followed at all costs. The book does however, warn you against common design mistakes that amateur designer’s usually make.

I seem to be in a redesign everything I see mode lol.
Not only have I recently redesigned this blog, I have also gone ahead and done a complete overhaul of DotsnDashes Website Designs.
I have made both designs wider as I needed the extra space and it gives the site the much needed white space.
DotsnDashes looks so different from what it used to now.
See the old design below:

The one downside of being a web designer is that you are bound to get tired of your own designs and keep changing them way too many times.
As far as this website goes, it is the first change.
Quite different from the first design as well. The colors are muted and it has an overall calming and soothing effect (very important for a blog that will be visited again and again – I hope). If I were to choose an element to represents this design – that’ll be Earth
Now that gives me an idea. May be I will create 3 more designs and get over with the rest of the elements, too 
Well one thing’s for sure. I can work straight for 12 – 14 hours and come up with a complete new blog design. No, it won’t work as fast for you as I need to discuss your blog, get the design approved and consult you every step of the way. Consulting myself doesn’t take very long so that takes care of it.
The most important change for this blog is a wider design. Since it is a personal blog, and just an outlet for me as a designer and a writer, I said what the heck.
So what do you think of this design?
