We've been slaving over the last couple months to come up with a new, upgraded design for the site, and frankly, we're a bit burned out and need "new eyes" to help us. So, here are three different "looks" that we want to get community feedback on. There are some things to keep in mind when judging:
1) The main thing we are looking for your input on at this stage is what works VISUALLY--mainly the color schemes, and what "jumps out" at you as being good, bad or ugly. Don't worry about site FEATURES in this round. If you have a suggestion for different colors, tell us (or show us) in the comments.
2) You'll notice the designs have different logos. Try to keep the logos separate from the design in your mind, we can always change logos out to whichever design is the most popular. And let us know if you like one thing in one design and another thing in another.
3) Be brutally honest. Tell us what you DON'T like about design/logo/colors. And you can also tell us what you DO like too.
4) If you have a suggestion, please sound off.
With that in mind, here are the three designs. Click on the thumbnail to view a larger version, and don't forget to participate in the poll so that we know which one you like the best!
About The Author:
ComicBookMovie.com and Best Little Sites was the brainchild of Nate and a friend way back in 2002. Nate initially focused on the back-end programming and front-end design, but now manages the company and its associated sites as well, with a LOT of help from some very talented contributors.
Nate has loved comics from a very young age and continues to read them on a regular basis thanks to subscriptions to various titles (both Marvel and DC). He also loves movies, as his wife and children will attest. He's not overly critical of movies, so his reviews should be taken with a grain of salt as he's much more interested in being entertained and escaping the "real" world for a couple of hours than finding every conceivable plot-hole and character flaw in a film.
Outside of his guilty "nerdy" pleasures, Nate enjoys spending time with his wife and three boys, CrossFit, playing guitar, coaching youth sports and MMA (he spent a couple of years in the cage as an NHB fighter, but is now MUCH too old).
