Visualisations Website Update

I am currently in the process of updating the design of the visualisations website with a more professional look. The following two pictures below document the progress so far. The website will be a very clean simple design similar to the existing website theme, the main differences will be a cleaner layout making the page less cluttered, more colour! and lighting that puts an emphasis on the center of the page drawing attention to the important content.

The new design will take advantage of jquery to do effects such as changing images and fading the menu lights in and out on hover. As a proof of concept project i am considering making a simple cms for the website that takes advantage of jquery and ajax to do inline editing of all content.

Looks to be coming along nicely. Tackling a CMS is ambitious, but it looks like you should be able to pull it off. Better than a lot of crap I’ve seen come from actual design graduates, who were supposedly trained in this sort of thing!

One question though; will there still be a blog page on the new design? Unless thats what the home page is?

I dont think the CMS will be to hard, it will just use php to update and take the data from a MySQL database, then i will use jquery and Ajax to do inline editing.

I’m still unsure about what will happen with the blog, it will not disappear but i don’t know as yet where it will fit in the new design.
