Recently I launched Sojourner.co, as a simple home page. The website tells you guys something about me. Initially when I bought the domain name it was pointed to my >about.me page. I really wanted the home page to be simple and elegant.
At first it was all blue, but I needed more color and at the same time I did not want to add anything to it, except may be some color, not rainbow colors, mind you.
And I think I did it and I am very happy with the results.
The below codepen is what I use on Sojourner.co to add more spazz, while keeping it simple and elegant. I use tinycolor.js and CSS3 transitions to achive this effect and it’s really easy to add.
