The reworking of the site continues … a new layout largely driven by increasing screen sizes and the requirement for sites to resize to work on many resolutions. Most of the photography on the site – over 1000 images was scanned at 300px high, and isn’t going to get rescanned in a hurry – the new design needs to take into account the fixed fairly small images but increasing screen space that site pages need to take up.

So after less than a year I find myself redesigning the photography part of the site, the design which I still quite like, though I’ve spent too much time working on it and am a bit fed up of the black and gray.

The rest of the site is done to the new layout – no loss on the design for that part of the site; the content has been culled, restructured and reprioritised – now the parts of the site that are going to get new content are more readily available. The whole site has one design, off one style sheet, with one master template; and while I’m not so happy with the new design it will be possible to modify the whole sites look easily and regularly as I get tired of it and feel it needs a refresh.

Still a couple of weeks before everythings done … but things are moving along nicely.

A last look at the old design before it disappears:
