I have redesigned and put live a new ’09 version of www.alvarobautista.co.uk to complete a piece by piece overhaul of my network of Alvaro sites ahead of the start of the 2009 season. The other sites (this blog and the forum) have also seen a more subtle updating, largely in typographics and shifts in the presentation of our red-based colour planning.
I felt, however, that www.alvarobautista.co.uk required a bit more work as it hasn't really been touched since the original launch (apart from a colour swap at the start of 2008). It has been a great opportunity to simplify the navigation - this is all now up in the page header, apart from stuff like the sitemap and contact pages which are now linked from the page footer - and to simlultaneously clean down the overall layout and structure, losing the lefthand and righthand navigation and building in simple flat blocks of colour derived from the design of the BatiFans.com Fan Forum.
There may well be other developments across the sites in the coming weeks/months and I'll announce them as and when it's appropriate.
For now, I hope you nejoy the new splash of paint...
