Just activated my website’s redesign. Long time coming. Last redesign was 2002. Disclaimer: I’m not a designer!
Site: https://kdcinfo.com
Although I began Dec 2014, this was an on-and-off project. If I had worked on it as a regular day job, it likely would have still taken 3-4 months. The design-as-you-go method likely cost an extra month or more, but I had no idea of how it would play out up front as I was learning various technology limitations along the way.
Technologies: HTML5/CSS3, SASS/SCSS, Zurb Foundation (responsive), NPM, Grunt, Bower
Dev Box: VirtualBox VM running Ubuntu on a Windows 7 machine
Tools: SublimeText 3, Git, SourceTree, Putty, WinSCP, Photoshop

Added a Contact Form with links from 3 locations (header, footer, and About Me page). Using Foundation's Abide for front-end form validation and 'filter_var' for PHP sanitizing.
Added a 'pulsate' to book covers if main logo is clicked and all 3 books are closed.
Made some CSS color tweaks for better site consistency.
Made some main page IMG 'alt' modifications for better search engine results reading.
