New Design- Overview

Introduction

I suppose if I had to give this version a number, I’d say it’s version 4.0. TheJoey.Net has seen 3 major redesigns and I had a “blog” when I first started web design. This design by far has seen the most innovation and customization on my part. On the About Page it says this site is my sandbox. That is the absolute truth, and probably the reason the design changes so often (I’d say once a year is pretty often). But this time around I wanted something that will hopefully last longer than that. So not only did I work in a ‘change of face,’ I added new features and showcased some of my new skills.

What’s Coming

This mini series on the redesign will probably be four posts: Design, Dynamics, Projects and Plug-ins. Within these four posts I’ll be able to talk about all of the new and improved features of the site. For example, I am using a layout optimized for a 1024 screen resolution instead of 800. I also changed all of the pages so they can be updated from the back end. I worked in some Ajax and wrote my first plug in.

What do you want?

If there is a feature you want to hear specifically about, just leave a comment and I will make note of it. I personally think I was about to do some cool stuff, and while there is still some house keeping I need to attend to, I am happy with how the site came out.
