			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="intro">In my quest to perfect a more &#8216;clean&#8217; layout, I made a couple of sample pages of a corporate-style layout&#8230;</span></p>
<p>I think these would look better with actual content and a bit about a real company, but it&#8217;s a nice template. I&#8217;ll make a homepage with &#8216;featured&#8217; projects perhaps.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.martinblueprint.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Consulting-Layout-BORDERED.jpg" rel="thumbnail" rel="lightbox[1273]"><img src="http://www.martinblueprint.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Consulting-Layout-BORDERED-300x187.jpg" alt="Consulting web Layout" title="Consulting web Layout" width="300" height="187" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1359" /></a></p>
<p>I actually quite like this one, particularly the footer and the shade of blue — I&#8217;d like to code this one up. There&#8217;s potential for this to be hooked into WordPress.</p>

<p>In order to do so, I have started coming up with some logo ideas which I can incorporate into the site.</p>
<p>Here are some initial ones. I&#8217;m not sure if I like them as a final logo, but it&#8217;s something to develop.<br />
They&#8217;re a work in-progress:</p>

<p>&#8230;after encountering the issue of limited web server features (ie, no php support) I had to adjust the code and couldn&#8217;t use a contact form. I reluctantly opted for just an email link cloaked by javascript. It&#8217;s just a small site to replace the old one, and we&#8217;re already seeing pleasing results on Google Analytics!</p>
<p>Anyway, it&#8217;s now online at <a href="http://aerial-force.co.uk">Aerial Force</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.martinblueprint.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/AerialForce-Screen.png" rel="thumbnail" rel="lightbox[1189]"><img src="http://www.martinblueprint.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/AerialForce-Screen-300x158.png" alt="" title="AerialForce Screen" width="300" height="158" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1191" /></a></p>
<p>My next project is a new site for a Nottingham mobile disco business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="intro">At the moment, the website for Nottingham A/V service company, Aerial Force is not well optimised at all&#8230;</span></p>
<p>It doesn’t appear anywhere near the top of Google for relevant keywords&#8230;Never fear, I’m re-designing it and I plan to make it a good contender for a similar, bigger company who also use &#8216;Aerial Force&#8217;. Bit of a business faux-pas if you ask me; to steal the name of a smaller company.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.martinblueprint.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/layout-mockup.png" rel="thumbnail" rel="lightbox[1093]"><img src="http://www.martinblueprint.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/layout-mockup-300x174.png" alt="Aerial Force Layout" title="Aerial Force Layout" width="300" height="174" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1112" /></a></p>
<p>I came up with this initial layout, opting for a premium feel with dark grey and deep red. I’ll code this up and hopefully get much better conversion and more enquiries from the site.</p>

<p>This is your typical corporate layout for an IT or perhaps a web services company. The second is a web hosting style design.</p>
<p>Office Space fans will get the Innitech Reference&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.martinblueprint.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/WebLayout-Aug-09.png" rel="thumbnail" rel="lightbox[1101]"><img src="http://www.martinblueprint.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/WebLayout-Aug-09-300x234.png" alt="Martin Blueprint - Web Layout 2010" title="Martin Blueprint - Web Layout 2010" width="300" height="234" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1108" /></a></p>

<p>There&#8217;s a bit of a design trend recently around fat footers, and I like them too. I&#8217;ve kind of incorporated it here. They help with SEO and usability.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="intro">A bit of a boring Sunday, but I spent a bit of time playing with Photoshop as ever. Came up with these retro-style lines.</span></p>
<p>I think they look pretty cool and they go really well with some typographical elements&#8230;although I have nothing of note to write there!<br />
These would look good on business cards or something I reckon.</p>
