After spending the past couple of days working on a completely new look for the main site I am pleased to announce that it is now live and working.
I still have much to do to completely finish this new design, but it is finished as far and being up and running..
The biggest and most obvious change is the new design. The fixed width of the site is now wider to allow more freedom to create content without quite the width restrictions imposed by the old design. There are also many more locations within the site template to position content which will hopefully make the site feel less cluttered and busy.
Also incorporated into this new design is a new menu system where I have split the various areas of the site down into smaller sections for easier navigation. These use a new menu system across the top of the page with the main sections split and selectable via large section buttons. The design of these buttons is still being worked on so expect to see some Amiga themed buttons replacing the current images very soon.
Once within a section the areas of that section are then shown under the main section buttons, and if there are a series of areas within one of these they will be shown in there own menu on the left of the page. This allows for a much cleaner navigation system that is less cluttered and easier to see the options available within the current section of the site.
I hope you all like the new look. As I said, this isn't completely finished yet so there will be some bits looking wrong at the moment on some pages, or areas of sections may currently be missing or in the wrong place on the page. These are being worked on and will all be fixed within the next couple of days.
