New Site Layout
Filed Under General Web Info
I know this has been coming for so long, but my site can wait much longer than my client’s. So without further adu I am delighted to announce the redesign of Hattersworkshop.com is complete.
Let me know what you think of the White on Grey on Black.
The right aligned nav, the overall look. Etc.
The first comment Ill make myself:
the site still uses tables. What gives?
I know I was saying to myself that this site was going to be void of layout tables, but it just didn’t work out as nice. I design for FF, and then once I had it right Id go to IE and it would look like hell. Fix it for one and break the other. The happy middle? use a table and go to town with divs and id tags on cells. Problem (more or less) solved.
I like the new design. The top right nav is about where my eye rest anyway on a website.
Most of the newer tech stuff has forgotten the traditional “rules” of navigation. The iphone is totally different using different finger strokes. Microsoft surface is also a new concept. Worth looking into if this is new to you.
It seems much more important that things LOOK like a navigation bar then where they are placed. I think people will continue to adapt to new technology.
Remember, back in the day, Im sure every new keyboard configuration required learning how to type again.
Glad we missed that era.
Hey, I like the site. Simple grayscale container to showcase your work.
Thanks for coming to the ICC last night. Nice job.

Thanks for the input and critique.
Even so I’ll be changing things soon enough.
