During this last month we have been working on a new design - which our beloved site has deserved for so long.

Below you will find some screen shots of work-in-progress. We are very interested in hearing what you think about the design + if you have got any improvement suggestions. Here are some sample pages:

START PAGE
Attached Image
edit - If you click one of the 8 images below "featured" content the large middle area will change. This will give us new possibilities to showcase instructor weeks, lesson series, competitions, GMC events etc

LESSON PAGE
Attached Image

[new] COMMUNITY PORTAL
Attached Image
The "What is happening Now?" column will refresh automatically - so that you can follow the most recent GMC community updates with ease

GUITAR LESSON CATEGORIES

PS Never mind typos etc. Also "Knowledge Base" is just a new name suggestion for our ever growing wiki!

Wow, Kris! That's so much more professional looking, it's fantastic! The actual lesson page really stands up to scrutiny with those cosmetic tweaks.

Lookin' great.

Edit: Unrelated to the actual site design change is that I find the lesson mockup amusing. Looks like Aleksander's lesson, Ivan's name, and Conrad's forum avatar.

The greenish on the banner looks fine but on the navigation bar it looks a tad weird. The rest all looks fine though

I like the ideas so far Kris. smile.gif However, I would like to see a more "in your face" logo. Maybe a different font style?......Maybe Pristina in italics?

Kris,

Looks cool. biggrin.gif

Some positive comment on the first picture (the home page):

I understand the first banner and last banner "new lesson"

Would be great to see the hardness at the same time for both.

I don't understand the "featured content" because the only thing I see are pictures without text what they represent.

I wouldn't do a picture in the middle (waht is the use of it?) rather have some links to the lessons categories grouped by there style and hardness, or see more lates post by forum type.

Cheers
Robert

I like it a lot! biggrin.gif ...if it weren't so messy ohmy.gif I think having some kind of borders and having the different sections a lot more defined, would make a GREAT difference. A bit more space between stuff. And the lesson page.. the lesson itself and the difficulty showing and all that.. it seems too close to the top , if you get what I mean. This applys to all the pages btw. But especially the lesson page.

The top links and banner seems a little stuffed, some more room here woul improve things also. Maybe smaller text and a wider banner?

But don't get me wrong, the design looks awesome! It's just the layout I'm a little concerned about smile.gif

I appreciate all the work you've done and do for making GMC a better and cooler place! Keep up the good work, and I hope you consider my suggestions smile.gif

I wonder if Jerry knows how many different guitars he'll be stealing from the other instructors in the future? biggrin.gif

Looks great Kris but the "Lick if the Day" button. Should you take that out? Is there ever actually a like of the day? Because every time I go in there, there is always the same Metallica type thing.

This looks great! I would only change the backgorund color to "GMC red", or something a bit darker, so the windows look a bit more separated.

Good point - the lick of the day feature is certainly getting outdated. However we have new plans for that one as well!
