However, I know that there are some people who want to see examples. However, I’m not pleased with designing backgrounds that will not be used in real time. I don’t want to set up dummy accounts just to show real examples. So, I decided to raffle off this service to three lucky people. Here’s how it works.

1. Follow @nukirk.
2. Tweet this message.

Hook me up with a custom background @nukirk! #helpatweetaout

You only have to tweet this message once. Duplicate entries will be removed, since I will be using http://tweetaways.com/ to pick an entry. I will pick one winner at these times.

• June 7th @ 3 PM EST.
• June 14th @ 3 PM EST.
• June 21th @ 3 PM EST.

That’s all you have to do. If you are selected, you’ll know and I’ll DM you with instructions.

Please note, that this is a service and I will hold you to the Terms of Service located on the Twitter Background Special page.

So, hope y’all enter and good luck!

As you can see, I’m making a bit more progress. Now instead of the empty white space, there’s columns, showcasing different items. On the side, I added a “To-Do” List to track my progress as well as an explaination of “Beta”. I’m using the word “Beta” in it’s true sense, since this site is still not ready for public!

My original design for this site looked like this for the front page:

freakin.lights: Website WIP5 by ~nukirk on deviantART

as well as like this for the blog page:

freakin.lights: Website WIP6 by ~nukirk on deviantART

This site so far is looking very close to the original idea. However, I may have to say good bye to several design elements in the interest of time. So far, it took me a total of 25 hours because I was experimenting with different fonts, sizes and textures. If all goes well, The rest of the content will be easy to put up.

In the meantime, if you are looking to hire me, please don’t be afraid! To your right lies my e-mail address as well as links to two different portfolios. Just check it out and let me know!

Also, if you can, please send me feedback on how I’m doing on the design here!

Thanks for coming and I’ll see you in 24 hours!

However, I can tell you a few things about this design.

1. This site is powered by Wordpress, with a custom theme. However, I’m using a framework called “Hybrid”.
2. The official redesigned started on Monday, May 18, 2009.
3. While I do have a blog up, I still have a long way to go.

The only links working are the ones within the blog entries. The links on top are not working, but as the week goes on, I will work on this. I might be able to finish this site before June 1st. Of course, you may wonder why I can’t just finish it right now. Well, I do have clients to attend to and I need to make sure they are being taken care of.

So, I will be working on this layout and site. I’ll update the blog with changes as time goes on.

In the meantime, if you need to hire me and would like to see past work, please feel free to visit my “stand by” page, while I’m developing this new one. Thank you kindly.
