    Default Oppps... so...new design then!

    Well after an accident last night, I deleted my website by mistake!
    Including all data, articles, mysql ... everything basically!
    (Don't ask how...!)

    So I've created a NEW site..... (within 6 hours)...... and i would love your views.

    It's a completely new design... and NEW logo too ( Which I've been meaning to do for a while now )

    The new site:
    http://www.alexentertainment.co.uk/site/

    Please bear in mind, it is still a MASSIVE work in progress, but for 6 hours work through the night with only caffeine and nicotine to keep me going, I personally think I've done well to rebuild so quickly LOL

    So... after looking at the site please let me know what you think of the AESTHETICS!! Not functionality... as I said, it's still being worked on (rapidly!)

    It's quite ironic really - I had a look at your other site yesterday i hope of finding your hosting services!

    I think it looks good. It has that 'upper-class, next level' feel about it which is assuring. One design thing though, I would stretch the 'about' section and the left right down to the client logon. Or alternativily have the client logon in that space.

    Cheers

    Looks good actually.

    Few things tha stick out....

    I would justify all the text so it all finishes at the end of the lines rather than sentances ending here and there.

    The legal music bit.....

    You make it sound like that unless the DJ has got the Produb license then they are cowboy's which is not true!

    I really like the background, did you design it yourself?

    Totally agree with ya... it's my old old wording which I've chucked up so I can preview the site ... That will be changing, don't worry

    Background wise, I actually used a background from a template and adjusted the hue's and saturations to change it slightly to match my new colours.

    Thanks fella ... I keep my site hosted with heart internet , but on a different account....so any changes I make on my server don't affect my hosting customer LOL
    So don't worry... You're site is perfectly safe

    Whilst I admire your honesty I'm not sure I'd be admitting losing a complete site like that, even if it was my own

    The reason for the loss was to do with templating... and reinstalling the latest version of Joomla.... Long story, won't go into it here LOL Take too long.

    But I do have some back up files on my PC... and also in my cloud storage so I could of repaired it using these (but it would of taken 2 hours to put together again... soooo.. it actually gave me the umph to get up and re-do it LOL )

    Plus I just like sounding dramatic hehehe

    PS: I only ever play with MY sites and my PERSONAL servers .... and never any clients or business servers .... All my clients are also backed up daily automatically on my backup servers so never ANY fear there.
