Umemura Farm Website – Devlog #8: CSS Tweaks and Planning Visual Improvements

Falling Into the CSS Rabbit Hole (Yes Again), Cleaning Up EC Links, and Planning Visual Improvements


Today didn’t go quite as planned, but I still managed to check off a few important tasks.

Yet Again, Stuck in CSS Tweaks

Most of my time was unsurprisingly eaten up by CSS. I got caught up in adjusting the finer details of the design and before I knew it, hours had passed. It’s easy to fall into that CSS rabbit hole, but there’s something satisfying about refining the look and feel. Even small improvements can make the whole site feel more polished.

Cleaning Up EC Links

I took some time to clean up and reorganize the multiple EC links I had scattered across the site. It’s still a work in progress, but I’ve started creating a more consistent and intuitive user flow. Better structure means less confusion for the user, and that’s a win.

Added New Pages from the Footer

I created placeholder pages linked from the footer. There's no real content yet, but having the basic structure in place is a helpful step toward shaping the full site architecture. Sometimes, just laying the foundation helps bring clarity to what comes next.

Next Up: Visual Improvements

Right now, aside from the hero section, the site is pretty bare when it comes to images. To boost visual appeal, I’m planning to add more photographs and graphics. I’ll be experimenting with placement using the Z-pattern layout, which helps guide the viewer’s attention more naturally across the page.


In Summary

It wasn’t the most productive day in terms of raw output, but I did a lot of thinking and groundwork. Progress is progress—even when it feels slow. If you’re in the middle of building something too, hang in there. It’s all part of the process.
