New Online Portfolio Live

What a great feeling to have the new online portfolio up. After months of concepts, sketching, designing, coding and troubleshooting, the fruits of my labor are finally live and I am very happy with how it turned out.

The site explores different design styles and the viewer can decide which style he or she likes best and would like to view the site in. The user can switch the style of the site at any time. It took me a little bit to figure out how I would do this, but eventually I decided to use templates and CSS instead of a Javascript approach (in case someone does not have Javascript enabled).
Even though I am glad the site is finished, I wouldn't be a Graphic Designer if it really ever were "finished." I am excited to be adding more style options to the site (I am finishing up an Elegant theme right now) over the next few months. There is also a "Featured Work" section on the bottom of the page that will be updated frequently as I complete new projects. Instead of a static site, my portfolio is active and current, which was really important to me with this project.

I will put up the new style this weekend and also add some tidbits and more work samples to the site. If you want to check it out for yourself, go to www.stefaniedesigns.com.
