Recently I was lucky enough to be contacted by .Net Magazine and asked to redesign one of their reader’s websites for their Makeover feature…

I chose to redesign the website for a small independent record label based in San Francisco called D-Fault Records, and wrote about why I made the design and development choices I did.

To give you a flavour of what I did, I was quoted thus:

D-Fault Records needed a clean, simple and elegant way of promoting itself, and a well thought-out CMS

Also, in the same issue, Ghost Horses was featured in the Gallery section, showing some of most interesting CSS based websites from that month.

If you’re interested to see what I came up with for the .Net Makeover feature, you can view it by clicking here.

The images above are taken from the May 2011 issue (214) of .Net magazine, available at all good outlets!

This website is ALIVE!

Ghosthorses (no.4), the website you’re looking at and my web design portfolio, is now live and available on the big internet thing.

It took a while longer than the last few to design and build because it’s quite a bit more complicated, but hopefully… it doesn’t look complicated, as, it’s supposed to be friendly looking.

I would be really, really pleased if you were to look around the website and let me know if the website looks and works correctly with whatever monitor size you use, as well as your choice of browser and your operating system.

Just something like: “Looks ok!” or “That bit doesn’t work” or, “This bit is a bit confusing.” – all of it is very useful and welcome. You can let me know these things by clicking on the ‘Comments’ button at the top or the bottom of this post.

Thanking you muchly,
Stephen
