Question Does Hypercycles need a Site/Forum Re-Design?

Be honest... has the current design gotten stale for you? Do you need a fresh new look?

or.... Does change scare you? Would you like everything to stay exactly the same way it is... ?


Let me know what you think either way =)

I think there should be more bikes in the background of the home page as well as the rest of the forum pages. I can hardly tell this is a bike club.

It's kind of bland with the background being white and that orange banner...

A flash intro on the homepage would be pretty sick!

I agree with you and Mikey..

Some bike action... and a color change would be good for the eyes.

The flash intro would be cool as long as its tasteful

Any flash students on here want to donate their time??

Rock the vote people.. let me hear some more suggestions.

Yeah some cute little graphics here and there would be OK. I'm not the hugest fan of orange and blue but it certainly does the trick.

They key is to keep it simple. Ease of navigation should be paramount and your getting there with consolidating the threads.

Quick nitpick that is along those same lines - When you click on the HC logo or the "Home" link up top it takes you to the main forums page. I would think that either of these would take you to www.hypercycles.org. I think up top should have "Home, Forums, User CP, Members, FAQ, New Posts, Logout."

As far as multimedia goes... I've always liked pics being posted as a continuation of the original ride thread. It seems weird to have a whole new thread just for pics. Plus it makes the pics easier to locate 10 months from now when I need to use it as against Arnold. This is really more of a user thing and not to much a Just keep posting in the ride thread people!

The Front Page buh-lows. The look is OK but the info is ummmm yeah. A consistently updated front page is necessary. When you first visit a site and see "news" that is 11 months old you may move on to the next site. This is no doubt the result of lackluster participation in the club in general, but things are looking up.

Front page suggestions:
Perhaps have it featuring upcoming rides/track days/ news. This gives the club a lively appearance. I think if something has been up there more than 4 weeks, it ain't news.

Random photos of Hypercyclers doing what we do would be nice as well.

I also think, i fit not too much work , that the Hypercycles Mission Statement (http://www.hypercycles.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=12119) should be on the front page at the top. This statement is what compelled me to sign up back around this time in 2003. I think it sums up what we are all about and having that front and center is a good thing.

And just a general suggestion - More smileys! They make it fun!

The permissions for the 'bottom' forums need to be tweaked for sure.. I'll have some time this weekend for forum updates and my notes from the pho meeting.. life has been hectic.
