drwcentral.netMay 2001

Project Overview

The May 2001 redesign of drwcentral.net was intended to brighten the site and decrease the load time for each page.

Before this redesign, drwcentral.net used a layout with much darker colors and many more graphics. Load times were too high in relation to the content that was being provided.

I developed a layout that used reds and white in place of the greys and black that were used on the previous version of the site. I also converted items such as the navigation and some page headers to text, when they had previously been images.

The design was successful but I later replaced it when I grew bored with the design. Looking back, it was probably one of my better designs for the site. My November 2002 redesign of DetroitHockey.Net was highly influenced by this layout.
