The best way to design a personal site is go minimal - bare minimum. But problem is you need a designer to handle white space well. Non-designers fear it (yes the blank canvas is white space) So just go with one column layout. Use Georgia, seif; typeface stack. Use variations of size and italics to differentiate high-lites. Use shades of gray. Don't make it wider than 1000px. Bonus Tip: Keep line height of text (css propery: line-height: 1.5em;) to 1.5em and text size to 14px. If you can pull this one off. You will have a side that even designer will envy. Inspiration: http://netspencer.com/ http://netspencer.com/ http://www.kingsidharth.com http://www.kingsidharth.com
