Hi guys
Been working on a new design for the XDC website, let me know what you think, I am open to suggestions, criticisms any comments really.
If anyone feels like making alterations, or additions please feel free.
Thanks
I quite like it. Does this mean a new design for the forums and getting rid of the buggs bunny flash banner?
But yeah, pretty simple and stylish.
Before you put too much work into this Steve, I’ve been thinking recently about revamping the front end of the site since it’s irritating me, and the main change I’d like to make is in integrating the forum with the frontpage (similar to how the rats have their site). If you can find a template which will allow that easily, as well as including the standard links to XDC introductions etc, then you’ll be onto a winner. Also regarding the look, I’m thinking about moving away from the comic light hearted style we’ve tried (and failed) to put in place, since I just don’t think any of us are artistically gifted enough to pull it off. If you can manage it, go for it, but I’m edging towards using a slicker and more professional looking template for the site in future.
Oh and as funny as it is, I don’t want to use the flash animation for any new site we put together, as it’s just too eye catching when I’m trying to keep a low profile checking the forums from work.
Hello guys
Matt, I was actually looking into creating a complete new site using a php framework, and coding it all myself, including the forums, so getting a consistent look across all parts of the site will not be a problem.
I dont mind trying to do a slicker more professional site, do you have any examples from the web that you find particularly good? But in the past I always thought you wanted a Wabbit 😯
Is Jonny still around? He does good design work, then I could concentrate on the coding, as its what i,m best at anyway.
Oh and Magicker what version of PHP do I have to code for?

i was going to suggest we move away from teh wabbit…
i just got an invoice from corbis as one of my customers used a 1cm by 1cm image on their site.. they demanded 900 quid!!!
so perhaps if we can stay away from images we dont own :0
Fantastic animation by spunker – shame to lose it. I sometimes can’t resist an occasional buggsy fart even now.
If we do need to re jig things then Johnny needs to get involved for sure.
Dunno if this is my work or not but I really struggle to view any topic that goes on past 1 page (all the best threads damnit!)
Anyone else having this prob?

I haven’t had a chance to look into it yet mate, but may do over the next few weeks when I get some time off work.
