In the last edition of “How I Designed the new Ajaxxx.com”, I talked about the planning that went into the site. I overanalyzed the old website from top to bottom, making notes of all the issues I had with it. From lack of picture and video support on some of the pages to how long it took to update the site, there were a bunch of things that bothered me. At the same time though, there were elements that I borrowed from the old site too (like the Sindhi writing you see in the background, along with the song quotes in the banners above). It was a pretty drawn out process, but it was all worth it in the end.
In this entry, I’ll dig deeper. With the planning behind us, I’ll talk about some of the cool things I implemented, some things I chose not to do (and my reasons behind them), and the most fun part…the challenges I encountered.
