OCDetails redesign...

**Jngrbrdman** · 06-13-2005, 12:00 PM

Well, its still a work in progress, but I thought I`d throw out the way OCDetails.com is soon to look. www.ocdetails.info is the testing domain I`m using for this. You`ll probably notice that I haven`t got any of the other pages linked yet. I`ve got other pages built, but they are all much less complete than the front page. Fore example.... That is how the current "see our work" page will look. When you click the images it will take you to higher resolution pictures. I`m thinking of making them this size when you click them. Its not too big and not too small. The resolution is the important thing. I`m also considering making it an album where the thumbnails are on top with arrows to move through them and then the larger resolution image is below the row of thumbnails. Anyway, its still being sorted out.

Its taking time to resize pictures and reformat the text of the articles to fit in the smaller layout. I`m going to seperate the articles into multiple pages so that its easier to read. I`d like to minimize the scrolling if possible. Right now I think the front page fits well on one screen without scrolling too much. I`d like to keep with that look on the rest of the pages. I`m going to change that animation at the top as well. A lot of what is on there is just working photos until I can get it the way I want. I only want to have pictures of cars I have personally worked on featured. Those photos are just there to fill the space until I get the ones I like in there. Like I said, its just a work in progress. This represents much of the last 3 months of work. Feedback from people who have done webdesign in the past would be appreciated as I push forward with this. Thanks for looking.

Very Fresh look to the new site. It looks like it will really flow. It is aslo very visually appealing. I really like the color scheme as well. I have past website knowledge and can help you along the way as you get it further up and running. Good job

Since some of the stuff I want to do with the site is fairly complicated, I`ve actually already got someone helping me with it. He is a master at Dreamweaver and I would have never gotten it this far without his help. There are still a couple things he is going to help me with, but its to a point where I think I can take the reigns and drive it myself for a bit. Thanks for the feedback though. OCDetails.com and my other family website were really simple to build using basic templates. This one is much more custom and I like it a lot better.
