Matt, if your design wins (and it looks like it just may, I'm gonna need some buttons and stuff. You were going to provide those I assume?

Yes.  That was going to be worked out if I won (possibly some collaboration work on that).

A. The rest are either too bland or don't totally fit with the theme. A is pleasing to the eyes as well as simple.

Post by: hen7713 on May 01, 2008, 05:47:55 PM

I'm gonna say choice D. It matches the present intellistar. I would've voted for choice A if it didn't lock up my browser.

Well looking at the vote at this point I think its safe to say that Matt's design won, so I'm preliminarily declaring it the winner.  :sunglasses:

Matt, as soon as you can get everything to me I'll begin putting it all up.  :sunglasses:

I need to look into LFMusicFan's problem with the page crashing, get some buttons made, and clean up the code.  Hope to get that done very soon.

Thanks all for your support!

I voted for Choice A Because of it's design. It looks like a template of the intellistar

As I'm working on things, I need some extra eyes for the buttons.

Post by: tpirfan28 on May 02, 2008, 08:50:32 PM
eh, yeah.  Anything is better than that thing they have now.

I'm basically done, but I want a couple of days to look it over and to finish up the behind-the-scenes gobbledygook.  I would still like comments on this virtually final design, as this is YOUR site, too!  If you don't like how something finished up, let me know.

Gary...do I get a special forum position as the web designer guy?   ;)

Gary, when you were putting the new site together, you put the XL flavor guide up in place of the XL videos page.
Title: Re: Site Design Vote
Post by: lfmusiclover on May 05, 2008, 12:02:58 PM
Wow, I am such an idiot. Well, its gonna take some time to fix, cause I complete overwrote the XL video page.  :foolish:

Post by: Mike M on May 06, 2008, 10:20:32 PM
Gary, are you aware that the search engine on the site is not working? When I type in the search box, it directs me back to the front page rather than a search results page.

Also, not sure if you plan on doing this or not, but you should probably also make the text on the entire site white. Right now only the front page has white text. It's difficult for me to read the black text over the somewhat dark background.
Title: Re: Site Design Vote
Post by: lfmusiclover on May 06, 2008, 11:04:09 PM
I was not aware the search box wasn't working. I will look into it.

As for the text color, putting it all in white is a fine idea. In all honesty I thought it all WAS in white, but since thats not the case I'll make it all white.  :sunglasses:
