After letting this site lay dormant for far too long and having a kick up the backside from friends, I have made a few changes to the structure of cssbake.com. These changes have grown from your very own suggestions and comments from when we first opened. I hope this shows you that we care about your browsing experience here and that you find your time here useful. After all, we are here for you to make use of what is given by us.
The first change which was made, and I am glad we made it in the early stages of the website, when we have just a small database of websites was the introduction of overall screenshots. These screenshots show the whole design of a website and can be found in the top left corner of an ingredient’s post. Though they look small, you can click on these for a larger view.
Whilst on the topic of screenshots, quite a few visitors hoped that we would take hold of the features offered by Lightbox and place the ingredient screenshots into ’sets’. This allows the user to flick through the screenshots of a post quickly using tabs rather than closing and opening each one individually. I am glad to say that we have finally integrated this into our structure.
For frequent visitors or followers of the website, I felt that it was important to bring the updates to you. Therefore, I have added a link to our RSS feed in the top navigation, which you can subscribe to and see whenever we update the database.
Finally, I have introduced a sidebar on the ingredient’s posts to allow you to browse through the categories more quickly and to trail back to the page before. This will hopefully be developed further in the future.
What is still to come?
There are still changes to be made to the structure of cssbake.com, and I feel there always will be, but I thought it would be handy to you to hear what plans we have for the future.
- A redesign of the browse page introducing; a random ingredient from each category, a category description, a ‘top 5 rated’ list and also a ‘5 most recent’ list. This will allow you to understand more of what the site has to offer, and what fellow visitors think of the designs which are featured.
- We are also hoping to introduce a tag-based system which means that each ingredient is tagged and allow you, as visitors, to search for certain aspects of an ingredient e.g. “Pink” or “Square” and see which ingredients suit this.
- At cssbake.com, we also wish to introduce a disclaimer and terms of service. This is simply just going to be in place incase anything may happen.
As I said before, these changes are just a few of what may happen. If you have any more suggestions or queries, please feel free to contact us.
