Now I was happy with my design, on the recommendation of a friend, I shot a PDF off to Click Business Cards via their website, and within 24 hours my cards had been printed and express posted to my door (they arrived yesterday). Their website may not be much chop, but their service sure is.

With a little hesitation, I cracked open the box, hoping that I’d gotten the resolution, colours and bleeds right. I had, they look excellent, if I do say so myself!

I’m the first to admit I’m no designer, and I’ll cop to the fact that the design was largely inspired by Dave Seah’s cards, whilst the loco image and ruby red was chosen to tie into the fact that I’m moving towards specialising in Ruby on Rails.

So, with new cards, I realised that the Wordpress template I’ve been using was pretty tired.

Time for some branding re-alignment!

A quick CSS change and a new header image later, here we are. I’ve kept the layout the same for the time being, I don’t want to sink a lot of time into a new Wordpress template as I’m thinking of packing this whole site up and moving to a Slicehost slice. If I do that, it will be goodbye Wordpress, hello to either Typo or Mephisto.

For the time being however, it’s steady as she goes!
