I’ve been working on the Harvard senior class website for a few days now, not doing much else besides eating and sleeping. It’s not that websites are terribly difficult to build – writing up a clean CSS is rather easy, once the quirks of Internet Explorer browser compatibility are worked out.

The design, however, is the hard part. Coming up with a sleek, novel design requires a lot of time for me, and I know that I’ve spent hours moving a couple lines around, trying to make the page look good. I spent a lot of time last night making a new theme that I’ve decided not to use. Good learning experience? Perhaps. Waste of time? Sure feels like it.

I went back to my third design for the site, and it’s in my Projects page. I still feel that it’s a little bit off, but I’m not sure what to do. I think I’ll let it stay as is. After all, content is more important than beauty, right?
