I have reached a point where I can now just start to build my website. But before I start building, I want to just explain the design I have come up with.
After researching a variety of topics, and looking and analysing many creative people's websites, I have narrowed down my design to these areas.
1. It will have 3 web pages.
- Home
- Portfolio
- Contact
2. It will be a clean site. Probably white. Yes, I have been converted, and the more I look at these "new" and "modern" sites, the more I can see how my grungy sites look dated.
3. It will have some sort of image slider / Carousel, probably as a simple JQuery script.
4. The contact page will probably just be my email address with maybe some Social media buttons.
5. The navigation will be a horizontal bar/ribbon along the top.

Single Page Websites
From my research I am discovereing that there seems to be a trend to having website, which fit onto a long single continus page. The navigation works as normal, but it simple "jumps" to an anchor point on the same page. I will investigate if this design layout is for me.
After investigating this style of website, I found that I wasn't really comfortable designing and building one long HTML webpage. I still like the multipage website layout. So I am not going to be building a single page website for this project. But I think I will want to build one in the future, I just need to find the right sort of web site for this type of design.
