I have been messing around with design tools for the website because I am not a coder. So, I bought some templates to set up the look for me. My trouble is, I wanted to either maintain the look of the site before I added helpful tools, or if I could not, then I wanted to change it to make it look very neat and clean. I think neat and clean will help the colors of photographs pop. That’s about it. I liked the old way I had it set up. But I cannot keep it with these tools because invariably something always goes wrong. Either the background interferes with text that is not in a container of any kind, or the colors of each element cannot be made to look as I want them to. Some few elements don’t seem to change color. I thought I had a new and improved problem on the last theme, where the menus would not keep the dropdowns properly sorted, so I came to this theme, and while in it, I found a checkbox that corrected the problem. But then I remembered there was no container for some of the text at the top of a sidebar, and that basically ruined the cleanliness of the page. So, I will try this for a big, with a white background and no color at all, and see how long before I want to reset to the previous color scheme with plaid and tan as my primary color theme. Oh, to be fair, I settled on the same theme for my photography site. Go figure. In that case, it really was about making the colors pop. Maybe I will invert the monochromatic theme there and have the same layout but with white on a black background. The photos would still pop.
