Made quite a few changes and had some big breakthroughs with WordPress and both the visual design and structure of my brand and digital domain here. 😎 Things are really starting to heat up in lots of beautiful ways!! There’s still lots left to refine and it’s possible I might have gone a bit too deep with some things, but I’m overall super happy with what I’ve been exploring.

Here’s what the design used to be:

Here’s where it’s at now:

I’m SO freaking satisfied with the category navigation at the top and it was really challenging for me to figure out how to build all of it custom using the blocks editor. I would love for the animations between them to be more fluid cuz WordPress is very basic and has no animations, but that’s something to keep looking into later!

I also moved “Brand” which was previously its own section in the primary bottom navigation, to a section of “Lore” since it’s definitely a part of my Lore and I thought that turned out super well and makes soooo much more sense. And made a ton of improvements to the Lore screen content, organization, and styles (and there’s still more to come) but I love the direction it’s heading in and things are starting to feel like they’re coming together in a really beautiful way. 🔥

Because I moved the Brand page into Lore, now I have an empty third destination in that primary bottom navigation bar. I might not fill it, and I’m not quite sure what it’ll be yet, but I’m excited to explore options and see if there could be something valuable there. I really like the balance of 3 navigation destinations for some reason….🤔 But for now, we’ve got this 👇 (which is pretty clever if I say so myself 😏).
