Our New Design
The next step was deciding on what content to put on the home page, the aggregation and summaries to show, and the priorities of each piece of content.
The third step was to decide on a layout. The image on the right shows the second draft of the layout. All on one A3 sheet of paper, drawn with felt tip pen. There are also some remarks on the size of each piece. I wanted a three column design, which could be switched on demand to a two column design for some of the inner pages. I spent about a day then converting this into reality with a mocked-up home page, and real CSS.
Everything is in place for a relaunch in two to three months’ time.
