Web Design

You're looking at it!

I designed and built jacobstoltz.com in its entirety, using XHTML, CSS, Adobe Dreamweaver, and Photoshop.

My goal was to create a site with simple and intuitive navigation, and consistent design and layout. The ready-made templates I found were never quite what I was looking for.

My orange-blue-green-yellow color palette just makes me happy to look at. I began using the vintage newspaper headline font (used on the sidebar buttons at left) years ago for all my personal designs like my letterhead, résumé, business card, and many of my graphic designs for clients. Now this font seems to be everywhere. Oh well.

Web design is hard work! It's like digging a maze of interconnecting tunnels where every rock has to be placed in a specific, perfectly consistent location. And sometimes you have to go through and carve one rune onto each and every rock.
