Welcome to The Simpsons Channel version 8. Today is our sixth birthday and we thought we’d commemorate it with a change in design. We’ve pretty much stuck with what’s worked for us in terms of features and colour scheme, and are still very much committed to bringing you the latest Simpsons news first. Basically I wanted to do something that wasn’t put together in two days, as our last design was. We’ve renewed our domain until December 2004 and intend to be in business until then and possibly beyond.
There’s not a lot much else that I can say about the design. You can see what I’ve done, sticking with the three basic tabs on the right and given us a little extra room for longer headlines. As you navigate the site you’ll see everythings as it used to be, but improved visual-wise, so I’m not expecting any huge negative feedback.
If you’re down about the amount of front-page stories, don’t be, I’ve just narrowed it down to three for opening day so you can see the design in a compact form as it was created. Your feedback is most welcome, whether it be by email or at a message board in which I’ve posted a thread.
