I tonight am rolling out the first cut of a new look for the CLUAS home page. I am also changing the default font across the site to the font known as Georgia (chosen as (I find) it's easy to read, classy and works great - well it works great on the new redesigned NYT website which was unveiled this week). Check out the home page: www.cluas.com
I am keen to have your views on this work in progress. Comments / suggestiosn for the home page in particular are most welcome.
Is there a downside to this? Well there is at least one: users of the CLUAS email service will have to go through one extra click to log into their account...
Whaddaya make of it? Feel free to reply with your comments...

The new font looks terrible in my opinion, but then, what do I know.

Cheers Richie. Y'all keep the feedbvack coming. Nothing is written in stone with these changes and if there appears to be a sensible consensus on X, Y, or Z I more than willing to roll back/revise some of the tweaks.

Likin the layout of the frontpage though. Changing the font is a good idea aswell.

Just how it's all moved around with the gig reviews under the album reviews, looks more concise.

We fear change.
I think the new layout is fine, but I thought the old layout was fine too.
I must admit I dislike the new font but I'll probably grow accustomed to it over time.

The colour scheme is ick. Don't know anything about fonts, but it looks ok.

I'd have to say not liking the font at all, if you look at most webstites, (nme, rte, rollingstone, ireland.com, unison.ie) they all use sans-serif fonts like arial. It's just easier to read online, for printed works serif fonts like Times New Roman and Verdana work better, I'd definitely say go back to a sans-serif font for readability but then that's only my opinion. Had a look at www.nytimes.com and I don't think it looks good, the layout does but think the text is hard to read. As to the colour, I'd like a white background but the blue does make the site stand out from others. Anyway just my opinions, like the new layout and great that there are improvements being made all the time  |

I like the font, is easier on the eye, & more official looking ... although I'm more of a Verdana man myself !
Verdana was designed for small print, such as this site uses.
