FRONT PAGE REDESIGN COMPO

---

You may have noticed the "Should WoS get a facelift?" thread in the Miscellaneous forum.

WoS is meant to be a site for the community, so why not have the community determine the way things look?
We'll make it some kind of compo (without prize except lots of kudos and due credits).

Some things about that page:

• The SGD and TAPER icons can go, as I closed down those projects years ago and you can access them from the Utilities section anyway.
• The Webring block can go as well, since I'll be leaving the ring shortly (since many sites in the ring carry denied games and I don't want to support that in any way).
• The 3 icons on the right (Andy's Pages, TZX Vault and SPA2) are "different" to the 5 icons on the left, in that the left ones are associates and the right ones are for co-maintainers. I'd like to somehow keep that distinction.
• The main logo was meant to melt into the background, as it was originally made for a white background. However, there were several (valid) "complaints" about the white background and I returned it to blueish. I always wanted to recolour the logo, but never got around to it...

The page should preferably match with the rest of the site (which the current page indeed doesn't).
The end result must work with all browsers, including Lynx, also in high-security settings, and not use Flash, frames or CSS. Oh, and I continue to like the Arial/Helvetica font.
For font sizes, please only relative (+1/-1, etc) and no fixed ones, as fixed sizes screw up on different screen resolutions.
The size of HTML plus pics combined shouldn't exceed, say, 100kb (it's under 40kb at this moment).

All ideas are welcome. New pictures or logo are of course possible as well.

To enter the competition, just upload the page you created, be it HTML plus pics (zipped up please), an individual logo or a draft picture of the layout you have in mind.
Make sure you provide your name with your upload, or I can't give you credit.
Two and a half weeks should give you enough time (it's only the front page), so the competition shall close on sunday June 29th.
You will be allowed to vote for your favorite design during the week following it.

Voting regulations:

• Votes can only be cast in the forum (in the original thread)
• Just your number 1 choice, no need for top-3/top-5/top-whatever
