Welcome to .big blue design!

Here's a little background of my design experience and methods.

I started out about 15 months ago tweeking my own diary at Diaryland, then as I learned more and more html I built my first personal website. Never finished it, but I did begin to understand what was 'easy' design and 'difficult' design. Easy design constitutes easy navigation and informative content. Difficult design to me is everything that is added on, toys, heavy bandwith usage such as embedded .wav and .mp3, mixed up flash and java and html.

So I simplified, a lot!

I've since designed many diary templates and am in the process of designing this site as well as a friends business site. You can see that site here.

Lately, my big favorite is using absolute positioning in design, rather than building tables and/or frames.

The templates you'll see right now are diary templates. I will still design personal websites, but will not do any pre-designed templates as such. It would be much easier for me to design a website from scratch, so if you would like a full website design, I'll be happy to do help build one, just email or sign the guestbook and let me know what you'd like to see and we'll start from there.

Some information on templates:

These templates are all designed using absolute positioning techniques.
They can be used with inline style sheets or with a style sheet file.
Most if not all templates will use a scrolling text box to save space, but can be altered if you don't like scrolling text boxes.
Everything can be customized or altered to suit your personal requirements.

To get started, please begin with the infamous terms of use page, this details everything and by using any of my design, you agree to everything contained in that page, so it would be a good thing to read.

Well, there you have it, please visit the Infamous Terms of Use page, then onto the templates. Enjoy the designs and please email me or sign the guestbook and let me know if there's any design you're interested in or any questions I can answer.
