This past week I completed my first webdesign work in quite some time. The business that employs a friend of mine was in need of a website and I was asked if I would be interested. Previously I did more website backend work, this time it was totally design and layout, at least initially. I really have not pursued any work in quite some time, but this work was dropped in my lap and with Christmas coming and some year end taxes due, I can certainly use the money.
This also motivated me to think more about the Villa. For quite some time I had used a three column layout. When I did my last redesign I moved to a two column layout, quite successfully I thought. Since that last redesign I have come to miss having three columns to locate various content. I have started to redesign Villa for a three column layout and expect to see the change very soon. The amount of content favors moving toward a three column layout and I have also been unhappy with the general location of some of the items on the webpage.
The decision on coloring is always the toughest thing when doing a redesign. Just redesigning without altering color just does not provide the fresh new look that I like to provide to the frequent visitor. That being said, I think I have decided on a final color for the new site. Look for a change some time in the coming week.

I have had an urge to redesign too. Luckily I'll be working on guestblock.com so that should feed the monkey.
I look forward to the new design.

I look forward to Guestblock as always. I enjoyed the Halloween Trick. :)

Looks pretty darn cool! You might want to think about some subtle separators in the middle and perhaps left columns.

I was thinking that as well, or perhaps a more drastic font color change on the header text might help.

Much better with the coffee brown titles...

Agreed and it allows me to use the color that I molded the design around. :)

I like it. I particularly like the way the columns "step" at the bottom. Colors are pleasant.
