The plan of attack for today was to get the look of the site shifted over from the original design Will had produced over to the newer design that he has since developed for the Individual Deals and the Categories page. I mentioned this previously, providing a mockup in my April 15th blog post.

I did manage to start the work on this, modifying the overall design of the site to allow for the implementation of the actual switch. I'm a bit hesitant of how the new look has impacted the front page, and may adapt it to allow the first column to be slightly larger. You can see before and after shots by clicking here (before) and here (after).

I also managed to start rolling out the new design of the single posts, to the cruises section. You can see the before and after of those here (cruise before) and here (cruise after).

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take things any further than this as I was soon tasked with adding new content to the site. Whilst it's important that deals are contantly updated, the site is currently a mix of different layouts, and looks rather horrible for it.
