Weblogtoolscollection.com New Design

[Jeffro]

Wow. I've known about the redesign for WLTC a long time but I never got to see any prototypes or design ideas. To see the new WeblogToolsCollection.com, check it out http://weblogtoolscollection.com/

Looks like Mark has chosen to go with Earthy styled tones with a few shades of Orange mixed in. Overall, I like the new look and it gives WLTC so much more of a Fresh feeling.

share your thoughts/opinions on the redesign.

I saw the new design a couple of hours ago. A big improvement.

Looks like N.Design studio may have been the people behind the design if you take a look at the URL structure. Interesting if you take a look at the source, how many lines have been commented to show the end user just where something begins and where it ends. Interesting because I don't see that in many themes.

As I read more into the source, I'm beginning to really like the idea of theme authors commenting the HTML code to label what the beginning DIV element is for and then a comment where that element is closed.

Yup I agree it's a good idea although for my own purposes I always strip that stuff out as I don't need it.

Just visit the WLTC forum which has the old look to it.

It is a very good design, a real fresh feel to it. And I, too, like the number of comments in the code.

Honestly, not a big fan. Not enough flair, typography seems off, main page seems crammed, and I don't like how ads were integrated into two independent sidebars. Love the site, love the content, always disliked the design, and that still holds true, though it was definitely due for a refresh.

It looks much better than the old theme. It's simple and easy to read.

I don't like the categories list down the bottom, it is kinda jumbled and confusing.

Interesting to see they have a 'heat map' instead of a 'tag cloud'.
