Many of you, possibly won't be aware that 2009 was a special year for ado16.info. It was in fact the websites 10th anniversary...

Good, you may be thinking. Thanks for that piece of information, but what does it really mean for me? Well, truthfully, it means nothing - however, since a special achievement was not marked in anyway shape or form, I have today launched a "refreshed" front cover for the trusty site.

OK, there is a cleaner look about the page, but what about the new features?

o Facebook group
o Gone is the magnifying image on the front cover picture - just click the image, and you'll get a new way of viewing the larger image.
o New banner, simplified - yet iconic?
o Main page content reshuffled.

There's also been a lot of work undertaken behind the scenes to the coding of the site. Overall, I want you to have the site load quicker than it has ever done before, and provide you with a top notch experience.

Of course, this look now has to be carried across all the pages - but, here's where I need your help... where do I start? Suggestions please!

Take a look, and please as ever, be honest. I need you to tell me what your thoughts are on the layout, what you like, dislike etc.

Cheers,

Michael T

P.S. A belated Happy Birthday ado16.info!

Happy Birthday!

I like the new layout, although maybe a car each side on the banner and the writing in the middle?

Did you try with the Cover Star down a line/section?

The zoom-in on the Cover Star works well. Does this mean we can have a standard size now?

Keith,

We've always had a standard size for the zoom... The front page image will remain at the size it always has.

I've done several evaluations on a new banner... but want it to be less cluttered on the new one.

Cheers,
