Re: Question on a Basic Website for My Uncle's Business

One part at a time. :-)

I'm going to do font and colors first. Then work on layout.

Mike, it looks like you have already put your site in Wordpress. Do I
understand that you now just have to work on the CSS file with this
theme? Where do you start?

As I was playing with it last night (http://charliesrepair.com), I decided
that it would be better just to put in into WordPress. What I was initially
thinking, isn't going to flow right. (Note that the above page is without
any CSS work yet, just basic HTML5 boilerplate design.)

I am going to break it up into logical pages and handle images a bit
differently. At that point, it isn't hard to use WordPress pages and add a
simple design to the page.

People could make the argument that using Wordpress is even easier because
it takes less than 5 minutes....

I still think that hand coding would be best at this point. If he needs
to move to a CMS later then he can pay someone to turn his site design
into a template and move the content. It wouldn't take too long with a
simple site with only 4 or 5 pages to move the content. Gotta keep the
scope in mind and his scope is very small. It will also save a bunch of
resources if he is serving from his own machine...static content uses far
fewer resources than generated content... And if the site is very likely
to remain the same for months at a time then he can set nice long caching
headers that will mean even less "serving" for repeat visitors.

Nothing fancy, but it is a web site built from one of the drupal garden
templates in 5 minutes :-)

For Mikes purposes this could work nicely. They had one for building out
a product page.
