During the off season it can get quite boring and looking at the various AFL websites you can tell how desperate we are for stories etc by people commenting on what a mug of a basketball player says about our game. Like who cares..
Anyway instead of focusing on that, we at Kick2Kick.net have decided to make our website better, first of all we have decided to do a redesign. Today I have finished it and have just moved it LIVE for the public. We are also looking at other areas to improve our site, if you have any ideas, please get in contact with us.
With the redesign we have:
- Added a facebook fan page
- Added a twitter talk page to the bottom of each page and
- Also added a flickr page were all photos tagged “AFL” will show up.
Please give us your thoughts and if we have mucked up somewhere please let us know.
Update 23rd october 2009: I have just added rounded corners on the elements on the front page, should make it less box-y. Still have to fix the feature article preview image on Firefox >3 and IE and the Twitter page.
Update 3rd November 2009: We are still experiencing some troubles with JavaScript and our new design. Hopefully we will have this sorted by the latest early next week.
Again sorry the flow of the new redesign has not been smooth.
Update 16th November 2009: Have added an author bio at the end of each post, plus a poll (first one about our redesign) and at the moment playing around more how this site and Facebook integrate together.
Slowly getting rid of the little bugs, please let us know if anything needs more attention.

I like the new design, I find it much more intuitive- nice work, we are in the process of doing the same. Funny what the off season can do!

Yeah I’m liking the rounded corners, much easier on the eyes and seems to flow easier. Not sure about the darkness…

Thanks Michael and Alister for your feedback.
Look forward to your new look Michael, looks like everyone is doing the same
In regards to the darkness, I think the black gives the site some masculinity or depth, maybe its a bit too dark but I will wait for a few more weeks and then I and the designer will get back together and see if we want to change it.
