My biggest problem between sites I do for others and my own is file size. In particular images. I feel that on my own personal site then it doesnt matter to much (good thing), if people dont want to hang around then so be it, but with a corporate its always an issue.

Working on a new site, this time one that’s set aside specifically for my professional identity.

The design in the queue for the new personal site has the primary nav on the left, but not the bizsite.

Well, until now.

Why? It makes sense.

(And it only required changes of half a dozen lines in a CSS file.)
