One of the more inspiring projects I’m working on right now is DigiCMS. Its a content management system being built by Digitized Solutions as the ultimate CMS solution for their clients. Rather then waste time deciding whether to use ExpressionEngine or WordPress or Joomla or whatever, they decided to make their own from the ground up. Everything they need, and nothing they don’t, and they got me to design the front end. Its been an interesting experience for me as I have to put more focus on usability and less on aesthetics then I do with most jobs, and its been pretty enlightening.
This is the face I make when I design something I am inspired about:
Ive been making it a lot lately.
In any case, I am really looking forward to seeing this project finished, as it looks like it would fit the needs of my clients and me quite nicely as well. I’ll ping you people when theres something more substantial that I can show you.
To any poor soul who keeps checking back here in the hopes of finally finding part two of White Background / Studio photography with one flash up, I am sorry. Ive been bombarded with work recently, I hope to have it up soon.

…yeah, I’ve never seen that face happen while you were designing. Shucks…

From this angle it looks like you have a cool designer studio workplace.

Dan, how much would you charge to do an app UI design like that in several colors? Let me say that again: I need a UI with a few color versions. It should be mostly CSS so it loads quickly. I’m using Dijits in some places. So themeing that would also be necessary. Anyway, you should have my email via this comment. If you are interested, contact me and we can discuss it more. I don’t have time to design and UI and kind of want someone who knows about this stuff to do it. Do you have any samples of UI work you’ve done that I can look at?
Nice site BTW. “dm” is a little large on my 1024×768 notebook screen though. It takes up approximately 1/3 of the viewport – and I don’t have a bunch of those retarded toolbars…
