Thank to all for feedback. Yes, I understand that my chances are small, maybe it is just because I am new forum member. But suggesting a new design of website that I use more than 6 years - it is a very exciting and interesting project for me. So I would like to present you all the pages. As was correctly noted, progressive rock is live music, music of human spirit, the essence of creativity and striving forward to new horizons. That's why I chose this way - discussion about the preview (and my point of view) on the forum. Ideas about new design and new features of progarchives must be born in active discussions and disputes. And finally, the proposed design can looks strict and minimalist because it is an encyclopedia site, utilitarian guide used by thousands of people around the world. |
Your best chances are to connect with him via email or even twitter or facebook, as he rarely visits his own forum anymore, I'm afraid. Godspeed, though, it's an awesome idea.

But there's far more chance of me enthusiastically endorsing a random design posted on the forum. Does my opinion suddenly count for nothing?

Did it ever count for anything?

Question - the artist page looks awesome, but how would the main page look? What would the site look like to someone who's coming here for the first time?

As long as we never look like MMA I'm fine.

To the OP: the theme and fonts are ... OK. Ditto for the banner. I especially like the font for the main text. I don't think it would make the site much more appealing to anyone.
The site is fine just the way it is. However, in all honesty, I'm not a big fan of those collage banners. The site could use some work on themes and fonts, since prog excellence is rooted in creativity, (sometimes) resonance, and skill (a judgment based on Dean's comment on the reflection of what prog is about).

The collage is not important to the look and feel of the web site, it was a later add-on anyway - go-faster stripes on the hood and fluff dice hanging from the rear-view mirror but it's still a Toyota Corolla.

I like Corollas. We used to have one.

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean. |
Don't concern yourself he's just being facetious. It's a joke - although having said that, there may be some serious intent similar to Dean's comments in that the design should reflect the 'spirit' of Prog is some way whatever that may be!

With or without it I still don't like the attempted redesign.

Ditto, although I like the "slimmed" version in the second preview as well.

Go for it - she might just say yes 
BTW - I like the collage banner.

Yep. I would like all that clutter back again. But I would still like the new typeface for the reviews etc makes it easier to read. And Deans Lady Friend too!
