    Hi there! :)

    This is the site I want you to discuss:
    http://francielle.arteterapiabarcelona.es/
    (This is just my server, we haven't bought any domains yet)

    I am trying to design and develop a female friend of mine website. She's a translator, so it will be multilingual. I don't have much coding experience as I normally use a CMS.
    It doesn't look that good, I know. The idea was to have like two separate websites.

    The "portal", the part I am developing right now. She liked the idea of a vintage typewriter integrated somehow. I am open to suggestions, specifically:​
    • change background color?
    • use photoshop to change image contrast, etc?
    • label certain areas ?
    • change the image?
    • change everything and start from scratch? (please don't be harsh)
    • anything else?

    The site itself with data, rates, telephone... in plain HTML + CSS, something really clean and minimalistic, like this. http://www.tradumatica.net/carbajales/ES/inicio.html or http://pixelhaven.co/​


    The idea was for her to get some work via SEO/SEM and have her portfolio online.

    Any suggestions are very welcomed.
    Thanks for your time.

    I think the best way to make this website si using Wordpress.. it's easy to setup, there is a bunch of themes, you can just edit it, add the content and so on.. you can check here : http://www.template4all.com or http://www.web2feel.com there is a bunch of themes that you can choose from and most of the are FREE TO USE and to modify...

    Then create a categories, add a languages widget... plus she can write the articles by her self.. i hope that help !

    I do know how to use Wordpress, but I wanted to use it for the "main site". I don't know how to make the main menu clickable. http://francielle.arteterapiabarcelona.es/ I haven't found any theme so far that would let me do that
