any chance they’d let you sort out the Sunday flea site?

Maybe I am missing something, are you able to subscribe to the blog and get messages when things are updated?

Otherwise, nice and simple, good job…

I know you wouldn't deal in such foofaraw. I was concerned by the thought of designers being comissioned.

DJ Limb: I’m already, two days in, thinking a forum might be useful. And I really hate forums.

Robin: In Dom’s defense he very good at combining snazzy design and usability from the off. While I don’t hold the purse strings I’d be happy to hire him to do the design, once we have an idea what sort of design is needed.

Russ: You do know who you’re talking to, right? There will be no pointless animations on my watch.

If you’re eventually having designers in, can I submit a punters’ request to not have any animations that you can’t skip through whenever you open a link?

Ta.

Be realistic, Dom. Do you want a website as Art, or as an information serivce? Dangerously brilliant and edgy innovative sites that tick all the boxes – they’re a pain to navigate and lengthy to load. I want Custard Factory info. This is a good start. Far better to do the basics right and build up to the fancy stuff later.

I think you should definatly have a little box for people to snipe about how “its not as good as it used to be,” apart from that well done.

May as well add my post here too…

Good to see the new Custard Factory site up and hear about all the future plans for the site like the company directory, events listings etc. Iâ€™m sure the content will be top notch.

But the styling needs a whole lot of work. Currently the design doesnâ€™t reflect the place in anyway and has the potential to discredit all the good work going into the content.

I would like the Custard Factory to re-ignite the vibrancy of itâ€™s past. This site is a step in the right direction but could do with some proper design clout to compliment the content.

Looking good, don’t know if it’s on your list of things to-do but a map around the inside, showing the different units/clubs would be pretty handy.
