More notes on v6

This post follows on from my previous one and mostly covers the changes I’ve made to the rest of this site. But before that, there was some interest in the WordPress plugins that I’m using:

  • Configurable Tag Cloud (hoping to switch to Cumulus when it’s more customisable)
  • Fuzzy DateTime (for the tooltips on

Presenting v6

Welcome to the 6th version of this site since its online debut 8 years ago.

My previous design lasted for almost half of that time. Despite its shortcomings (lack of a feature-rich CMS) and obvious design flaws, and given the amount of recognition that it received, I became hesitant to change it … view full post

 

Ananzi’s new look and feel

Check out Ananzi’s new look and feel: So fresh and so clean over at BizCommunity.

Laugh at the marketing spew. Laugh at the priceless before and after comparison! Gasp for a breath of air, and then laugh some more at the rest of the marketing spew. Honestly, every time I read about … view full post

Happy Cog Studios redesign. Cranky Cog Studios launch. Ouch!

UPDATE [17/02]: Nice one guys, I should have guessed!

Read more about the redesign on Jeffrey Zeldman’s blog post, and continue through the comments. There are quite a lot but that number I assume includes the trackback stuff. Here’s one I read with interest:

Ster-Kinekor re-redesign

Once upon a time, Ster-Kinekor – the largest cinema exhibitor in South Africa – redesigned their website.

Ster-Kinekor redesign

A couple of local bloggers have commented on Ster-Kinekor’s new website which launched earlier this month – Loading Ster-Kinekor… by Gideon, New Ster Kinekor website by Craig and Ster Kinekor blows fresh horse manure by Jeremy.

Is 800×600 already the worst-case scenario?

Last week after visiting CNN.com for the first time in a while, I noticed that together with a new design, they’d switched to a wider layout for 1024+ viewports.

Today I followed a link (via digg) about the New York Times redesign, who have also adopted a wider layout and in so … view full post

 

CNET’s new look Download.com

It’s has so far gone largely unnoticed, apart from a brief mention by a member of the team involved: CNET’s new look Download.com.
Celebrating it’s 10th anniversary this month, CNET.com was also recently redesigned.

First impression goes something like this: wow!

Rebranded. Redesigned. Redeveloped.

It’s taken over a month, but it’s felt like a year – presenting the fifth redesign of coda.coza in as many years.

Before you click anywhere, pick apart my code or run it through any validators, you should know that this is something of a beta version. I’ve done almost no cross-browser testing (I’m aware of some behavioural glitches & twitches) … view full post

 

Redesigns and Inspiration

May is redesign month, since a fair number of sites I frequent (all web-related) have changed their look. Then there was the big Blogger redesign, with some subtle id maintenance thrown in. And of course some big corporates jumping on the standard-compliant bandwagon: … view full post
