Comp 2

Clicky-pops!

I finally got around to working on a more polished comp for the site (and it only took having to recover from oral surgery!) I expanded on the idea of the timeline and translated into something more physical(trenches) to help with the flatness that plagued the last comp.

I am still not sure what the back end is going to look like. My original thought was to develop a Ruby on Rails application, but Lynda.com, but we no longer have a work account at Lynda.com, so I’m not sure I’ll be going that route for now. I guess I could always get a personal account (believe it is only like $30/year or something like that for the basic). My options are as follows:

• Tumblr
• Ruby on Rails (need to learn)
• Wordpress (need to keep on top of updating- the reason why my old site no longer exists)
• Joomla! (Not familiar at all with this CMS)
• Develop my own PHP/mySQL back end.

I guess it is time to put the thinking-cap on!

P.S. That awesome typeface for the headline is Archer, by Hoefler & Frere-Jones. Anyone care to donate $279 to a great cause?
