My Design Ideas
- elegant simplicity
- a website that’s easy to use and read
- beautiful typography
- richness and depth
- reflect the design of my new Goal Kits
- harmonious layout based on the golden ratio (the divine proportions)
- vibrant, funky colours
- use color to make it easy to change the look and feel of the site
- a website that works well both on computers and handheld devices
Tools for the Design:
- Which fonts to use? Go with licenced web fonts or stick with free web fonts?
- Golden Ratio Calculator
- My Colour Palette
Preparations
Create a colour palette and make a note of what the hexadecimal color codes for displaying those colours on the web are.

love this idea to include “us” in your website redesign. I think following along with your process is going to give me ideas and help me to consider things I hadn’t considered, as far as site functionality goes.
Golden ratio calculator? I had no idea that existed but it’s brilliant!
