Archive for ‘Visual Design’

There’s nothing like a looming deadline to fire you into action. I have 2 weeks to complete the website I envisaged nearly 2 years ago. Back then I was a relative newcomer to WordPress. Prior to that my website had been a mostly static affair with a strong focus on the front end design. Moving to WordPress meant that the design had to take something of a backseat (or at least ride shotgun). I learned a lot but I was embarrassed by the quality (or lack thereof) of the design. This new release has achieved a happy medium where I’m able to take full advantage of WordPress while producing unrestrained design and to the level I strive for. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed putting it together. Speaking of which, I’d better get back to work.

I love a good reel. Some day I’ll do one of my own. Some day.

Late last week we rolled out a significant update to Citysearch.com.au. The first thing you’ll notice is the revised header which now sports a much cleaner, lighter design with a prominent search box. Once you start a search you’ll really begin to notice the changes. The search results page has been completely redesigned for better scanability. You can also clearly see what other users are voting for and commenting on.

When you click on a result for more information you’ll find the details page has also been redesigned. The new, cleaner, lighter design makes it easy to find the information you need. You can read what other users are saying and leave your own comments. We’ve hooked up Citysearch with Facebook Connect so you can now sign in to Citysearch using your Facebook account. This makes leaving comments on Citysearch much easier and it also gives you the option of publishing the stuff you’ve found on Citysearch to your Facebook wall for your friends to see.

We hope you’ll enjoy using the new features as much as we do.
