ORCA Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Alright we've talked about this before but I think it is time to bring it up again, hopefully get motivated enough to make a change :cheers: I don't mind working on it right now because i'm 'recovering' from surgery and can't really do anything else... :roll: I feel obligated to contribute more than just posting because of all the things Pete does for us. Here is an old design I came up with: http://www.amt.org/scott/cc/index.html It's been awhile since i've updated it, so it is somewhat old news - but I think we can build off this. Pete has mentioned before that the site should atleast include these: -main page -MJ history -MJ of the Month -original owners (?) -page for members: something simple with just a truck photo and owners name -PowWows I can update that old design to incorporate all these things, but I want to hear some feedback on the design. My goal here is too update the main page with a fresher look, and have the ability to update it as the club grows. Soo now it's your turn CC members, any feedback helps! Lets get the ball rolling!! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizarod115 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 looks good... we're just so damn spread out its hard to have powows and such which is what i think keeps us frmo having a big website is we're more online than inperson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 no, thanks. I don't need to be clicking 3 different things to get to the forums. and my news is contained in everyones posts. it looks good, but I don't support the idea of making things more difficult to navigate.

ORCA Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 looks good... we're just so damn spread out its hard to have powows and such which is what i think keeps us frmo having a big website is we're more online than inperson Maybe instead we don't have powwows as a seperate page...It does seem easier to get together through the forum anyway... :hateputers: no, thanks. I don't need to be clicking 3 different things to get to the forums. and my news is contained in everyones posts. it looks good, but I don't support the idea of making things more difficult to navigate. Well with this new design there is a single botton that will leads right to the forums. :roll: Just like the current website. Besides if that is too complicated I always just bookmark the forum itself (comancheclub.com/forums), that way there is no wait time. ;) The point of updating the main page is not to make things more complicated. It's to fresh and lighten things up, make the main page more versitale - and appealing to new members. Again it shouldn't be a more complicated process. This should be a 'simplifying' procedure. Maybe i'm the only one on this sinking ship though... :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I understand your reasons, but I don't like all the extra hassle...simple is better. that's just me. oh, and we are plenty appealing already...look how many new faces we keep seeing.

jared Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 i like the page you made. i think it would be a fresh new face to the comanche world and maybe even get us even more members. but it is Pete's site but i think if he saw it he would like it. and it isn't anymore work to get to the forums or anythin, just a fresh new face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oizarod115 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 if you run mozilla firefox (or any other popup blocker/toolbar) yuo can make your own buttons along the top... i have comancheclub up there but its the forums. ;) makes things easier. i like the new mainpage design, i only visit it maybe once a month or when i get on someone elses computer but i do like the idea of a refresher.

comanche-man22 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 i have suggested updating the site for a while and it hasnt happened so it would be cool if you did and i really like the theme with the slideshow up in the top! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 What I'm really waiting on here is my graduation. It's been in limbo for 8 months now. I have one more final next week and then I'm either on to job searching or I'll be emailing you guys from prison after I kill my prof for making the last year of my life a pointless hell. Once I get money rollling in, I'd like to pay a local web-head a few bucks to orchestrate all this for me or at least show me how to do it. I still want you guys to do the pages and all, but I'm just not enough of a techie to be able to do it myself. Even help from afar won't cut it, I need real-time instruction on the details, answers to my questions and the whole 9 yards. I know I've said it before, but please be patient a bit longer. :cheers: But don't let me stop the discussion of your opinions and ideas. SouthLake has a nice looking page going there. :cheers: Makes mine look like I cut it out of construction paper and glued it on the screen. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Yeah, yeah. But nothing's going to happen til I get that piece of paper from Wayne State. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockhardzj Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 What does not having a piece of paper have to do with prison? Unless your planning on attempted murder or something for not getting the paper... In that case, I would send them a nice package of toilet paper, the kind that leaves your hind quarters with raw skin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORCA Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Yeah, yeah. But nothing's going to happen til I get that piece of paper from Wayne State. :( We are all hoping the best for ya man! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridenlow12 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Pete I love the simplicity of the site!!! its very easy to navigate and it gets to the point. I don't like bells and wistles because it only slows some computers down. Keep it simple, Keep it clean!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase The Hero Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I like the simplicity, :D but i agree that a new frontpage would be awsomeness. :USAflag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORCA Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 I suppose I can pronounce this idea officially dead? :dunno: just wondering if I should delete all the crap I made for the proposed new main page... :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Nah, just forgotten. :( I really should bump that up on the priority list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qui Gon-Jinn Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 So I am the FNG I have some design experiance.. so I threw this together I used the current homepage as a template. I know there is talk of adding more links and content. This is more or less a template and a rough layout. Did the top bar in Photoshop. Took the pics off the frontpage and did some minor text moves. Grabbed a description of the Comanche from wikipedia.. http://kustomdev.com/cc/ The page is up on my Dev site. So give me feedback.. Pete let me know what you think.
