Once in a while I have those ideas for DivitoDesign. Usually the motivation is large, the execution a little bit of a problem. One idea that I definitely had to make possible is the launch of the new DivitoDesign.

Please take a look. The goal was to build a website that was structured, modern and to-the-point. A website where everyone can find information and enjoy design. A community where web professionals can get opinions, tutorials and resources. Where we talk to each other.

Let’s introduce a few new features for you. More is in the working!

AdvertArt

On the web, companies advertise on all sorts of websites to get their name out. Usually, these advertisiments are experienced as annoying. I challenge these companies to design their own 950x300px header to entertain the crowd. Take over the full header.

Let’s wrap up some things:

• We call this: AdvertArt
• Where: Top Header
• Runtime: 1 week
• Space: 950x300px
• Vote: Visitors can rate your AdvertArt to see how they like your design
• Gallery: AdvertArt’s go right into the gallery
• Price: 50$ per week
• Interested? Contact me

Community News

The community news section has had an upgrade. My good friend Frank Verhoeven has totally rebuild his Community News plugin and I have the opportunity to test it out. I believe that we all should learn from each other, so the community news section of DivitoDesign is the place to get your articles, resources and write-ups out there. We all learn from a healthy community!

Forums

One thing I want to introduce for a long time is a meeting place. A place to discuss articles, talk to each other and get to know fellow web professionals. Community Forums will be there in a very short time. Let’s talk to each other.

Members

Thank you for those that already registered and became a member on DivitoDesign. You might have noticed the login form in the right sidebar, it is now possible to get a membership. Registering gives you an account on DivitoDesign and makes commenting on articles and replying on the forum possible. Become a member.

Guest Writers

I hope to achieve a more consistent stream of articles, inspiration and resources. My plan is to do this together with the community. The more voices and opinions, the more we learn. I try to write a lot of new stuff about my own expertise as well, but I can definitely use some help. Please apply.

Not everything is finished yet?

I know myself. My motivation is usually better when there are deadlines, in this case a published blog post remembering me to finish things.

Let me know what you think about the new look. A lot of work gone into this hussle.
