New Look and New Content

New Style

Today I'm introducing a new look to the YourHead website. The shocking orange had grown stale and I've been in the mood for something a bit calmer and easier on the eyes. Something that would make it easier to read all the content.

New Home

The biggest change is to the front page. I decided to break with my tradition of no-hand-coding. This time, for the front page only, I've done a bit of extra Javascript to build the animations.
So, I've cheated a bit, but the results are really nice. Some slick animations and a simple way to jump to anywhere in the site. From one quickly loading page you can now get info on any product, buy any product, download any product and jump over to the main info pages too, like this blog. The information density on the front page is huge, but the page stays really quite simple. Of course, I did the initial layout of the page in Blocks, then opened the HTML and injected a bit of hand optimized code. Now the homepage lives in a RapidWeaver HTML page, so you can rest assured that the whole site is still published with RapidWeaaver.

New Documentation

I've always thought that a wiki is the perfect way to take advantage of the vast amount of info that the RapidWeaver forum generates. There's so much great information that gets buried in the forums. I wanted a place that anyone could easily capture the best of those discussions and save it for others to see. It's not quite empty, but the info in the wiki right now is still pretty basic. If you want to add a tutorial or find a way to contribute, then just do it. I've left editing privileges wide open. Just sign in and start typing.

New Structure

Our site has grown very organically since our early days of just one plugin. It was time to reorganize a bit. There are probably more than a few broken links here and there. If you notice something out of place, just let us know.
