So I've recently been working on a redesign.Looks dated, and uses tables for layout. Something a little more professional might make a better impression for GIMP. People who care about graphics care about layout elegance as well. Looks decent to me. I would use a CSS layout and declare a doctype (preferably xhtml 1.0 strict) for many reasons, but after all it's only a preliminary mockup. The decorative landscape clip art is OK but something more specific to GIMP and/or image editing would be better. I am always cautious about being too innovative - "looks dated" can also mean, the navigation and layout presents the user with no puzzles to solve. That said, there's still lots of room to do visual stuff if/as inspiration strikes. If people want a new site design, I am sure that there are plenty of web designers hanging around who would come out of the woodwork to present proposals if asked. The "losers" in the competition would get a cool site design for their portfolio, the "winner(s)" would get a high page rank link back to the site of their choice. :o) Steve |
