It&#8217;s taken me WAY too long, but I&#8217;ve finally finished my new website design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who are new, let me give you a comparison of the old and new. I did my best to make the site feel more modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"984\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/comparison.jpg?fit=640%2C246\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/comparison.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/comparison.jpg?resize=150%2C58&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/comparison.jpg?resize=300%2C115&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/comparison.jpg?resize=768%2C295&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/comparison.jpg?resize=1280%2C492&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/comparison.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>The old site design (left) and the new site design.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve collapsed the site, so there are now only two sections: the <a href=\"http:\/\/racheldelafuente.com\/\">main page<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/\">the blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may notice that the two sections have different navigation. That&#8217;s because the navigation is mostly to important spots on the page, rather than to separate pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new site is also better mobile optimized. The previous blog design often had mobile issues, and I&#8217;ve done my best to fix those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look around and let me know what you think.
