K, so i'm almost done with my first autohotkey.com re-deign, just have to debug top navigation javascript effects in IE Evil or Very Mad (hate this browser).
Strict CSS, no tables! Very Happy
Please let me know how it looks.
Arrow http://www.autohotkey.net/~next/ahk_1/

Thanks to kweso for his creative logo.
P.S. I'll make about 5 designs and send them to Chris, hopefully we will get a new site look! Feel free to help if you want.

Overall impression is OK

What I think what could be better is:
* Colour scheme: I think the redish colours of the "top-logo" (autohotkey-logo) and the brownish colours of the headers (news, Introduction ...) do not match (at least in my eyes)
* The "top-logo" is too big overall - it should be smaller to leave more place for the more important parts of the page. (My general opinion is: It's annoying if advertising on the page takes an essential part in comparison to the informational parts ...)
*The headers (news, introduction) should repeat the autohotkey logo in any way to get a more consistent lookandfeel of the page ...

Cool! Smile, just couple of suggestions:

1) The top Logo is toooo large - the height could/should be kept less than 100 pixels.
2) The White background is really hurting eyes, may be it could be reduced to 248.248.248

Whats neXt ?

Smile

If you use the 'keyboard'-image (currently positioned at 'News') as the top/header image it'll be nice.
The current pink-header-fabric-style-kinda-thing on the right would be OK too - from a female point of view - and if Revlon would promote their new perfume 'AutoHotkey'. Wink

I wonder why people have voted Sux! Do they mean the current face page is good? Rolling Eyes

Glad to see some comments here Smile .
Bobo, that's what i'm trying to fix in IE (that's what you rendered the page in, right?), it's JQuery's fault, hopefully i'll figure out how to fix this, if not, then i'll just remove JQuery from the top Laughing .

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions i'll make sure to keep them in mind for next re-designs.
I'll start working on my second one tonight, I'm planning on dark theme this time Very Happy .

From Revlon-cosmetics to Gothic ? I'll vote for the current/historic theme once this will happen.
Have a try and check out Apple's addvertisment campaign: [PC vs MAC]
Minimalistic design is the way to go. Bling-bling is out of date.

I don't know if it's the same in English, in German it's: "Weniger ist Mehr" = "less is more". Cool

@ imapow -
Still, its nice to have a homepage that's aesthetically pleasing!


@ neXt -
I think it's great, although the top banner is a little large as some people have said. A huge improvement over our current! Chris may be a great scripter, but he isn't very artistically inclined... Rolling Eyes

Is anyone here good with Javascipt? If yes, can you rewrite my navigation effects to be compatible with A-grade browsers? I can provide you with all the site files.
