Cloudplane's New Design
Posted on 17 Jan '24 filed under Cloudplane, New, Revamp
Day offs are always a welcome respite from the demands of hectic work shifts, assignments, and other ongoing responsibilities. While much has transpired over the past week since my last update, certain experiences are difficult to fully capture in words. Nevertheless, I will summarize the most pertinent developments.
A new design has recently been implemented at Cloudplane. After careful consideration of previous attempts to refine the site’s appearance, it became clear that incremental “fixes” were insufficient, resembling a band-aid on a wound that never fully healed. The decision to adopt a second layout arose almost spontaneously, inspired by discovering an image that aligned perfectly with the directory’s name.
This new layout marks the second occasion in some time that I have employed a fully table-less, DIV-based coding structure. Reacquainting myself with modern, table-less design required some adjustment, as I had become somewhat out of practice. Additionally, I am mindful that my familiarity with contemporary GUI trends and coding practices is not entirely current. Despite these challenges, the resulting layout prioritizes simplicity and ease of navigation.
Alongside the visual update, the directory has undergone structural revisions, including updates to the rules and About sections, as well as the removal of inactive or broken links.
