Updating the LPJ Design Website - Part 1

So for some reason I have decided to rebuild the LPJ Design website. The reason I am doing this is to test out my newly acquired skills while use the program, Adobe Muse.  I have found Muse to be a excellent way to develop visually beautiful websites without have to do all the silly coding that takes away from the design aspect of web design.  Many things that would have taken “much longer” have been easily created as widgets saving time and keeping creativity to a high. While this new website process is on-going, feel free to take a look at the changes I will be implementing and comment on them. Good, bad or otherwise.  And don’t be afraid to tell me that we did something that sucked. We want to know when we have done something wrong to. 


For any of those graphic or web designs that are interested in using Muse and want to get a first-hand account of it, please feel to contact me direct and we can speak further about it.  Talk to you later…

Forum building software suggestion for LPJDesign.com

So I am interested if anyone out there can suggest any software to use to build forums that is easy to use (meaning I don't want to have to hand code the thing) and will work well with Dreamweaver CS4. If you have any opinions or suggestions, please let me know.  Talk to you later...

Revamp of the LPJ Design website moves to Stage 2: Development

Well I have started the revamp on the website with getting the basic look and structure of the main page.  I want the site to be more modern and contemporary, will also looking more professional a site. I think this is a nice simple design will be better for me in the long term, as was the change of the LPJ Design logo.  Once this home page is done, I will work on what interior pages designs and what pages will go where. More work to do.  Talk to you later...

$1,399 + $578 = $70,000...It's the new math...

Well I have decided in 2010 with a baby on the way, I might want to focus on advancing my skills to help me make money. So first off I am going to purchase Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium for $1,399. Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium combines Adobe InDesign® CS4, Photoshop® CS4 Extended, Illustrator® CS4, Flash® CS4 Professional, Dreamweaver® CS4, Fireworks® CS4, and Acrobat® 9 Pro with additional tools and services. I am currently using the original Adobe Creative Suite 1 (circa September 2003) so you can see I need a bit of an upgrade. Since I am and doing this upgrade I am also going to take classes in PHP and MySQL for $578 at a local college. I have a lot of experience in basic HTML based websites but I really need to step up my skills. With nearly 20 years of graphic design skill, I can make a lot of cool things graphically but I really don’t understand the whole “back end” development of databases for websites. So with these classes, I will be a front end and a back end web developer / designer. So that should increase my pay rate to the $70,000 a year, which I will like very much. Or at least the baby will. Talk to you later…
