….and a new design.
I just wasn’t liking the previous design. A few reasons:
1 - It was just too dark.
2 - It looked cheap/messy
3 - With the top random image bar, loading times were horrible. This wasn’t just because of the fact that 7 additional images were loading on EVERY page — each of those images were created on the fly (not saved anywhere). Basically this means that large images had to be shrunken down to thumbnail size, watermark applied, and printed all by a complex script….seven separate times on every page. This just had to be changed.  (Now you can find only two random images on the right hand sidebar)
4 - Although it allowed for much more content space, the old design was starting to feel too cramped. This new design is actually smaller than the old but has a right and left sidebar. I’m working on making the right hand bar collapsible so that more content space can be achieved if individual users desire.

I know there are a few bugs/kinks that need to be fixed. I’m slowly working on getting things straight and looking nice (while trying to keep the website online and functional). If you notice something you think has been overlooked, send an email to contact@visitmatewan.com.
