Process of Redesigning N.Design

What an awesome redesign that really is worth a read…

After 3 years of using the Pheonix theme on N.Design Studio, I finally redesigned it with a Koi theme. The new look has improved a lot in terms of design and WordPress implementation. Every section has a unique layout which gives you a refreshing feeling. This post will summarize everything about the new design as well as show you the process images. Also, I will talk about how other sites inspired me.

980px Page Width
The page width is 980px which is optimized for users with 1024px display, but also looks nice for users with high resolution display such as 1680px setting.

Typography
The main body font size is 16 point. I purposely set it large so viewers can read the text comfortably even sitting away from the monitor. The three main fonts that I’ve chosen are: Georgia, Helvetica, and Baskerville. Georgia is used for the main body copy. The purpose of using sans-serif font (Helvetica) is to provide contrast to the body type. Baskerville is an elegant font, so I set it for italic text and image captions.

Multiple Background Images
Each section features a different background image that blends nicely with the header image.
