Hey everyone!
So I was just on the Nessaholics main page, and I was wondering.. What do you guys think of it?
I'm asking because I think it'd be cool if we could make it match Nessa's updated site.
With the admin's consent, I could make a bunch of artwork, if they'd be willing to put it up and give me the sizes/resolutions I'd need for each one. I think it'd be fun, and if it turned out good, I'd like to use it for my art portfolio.
Anyhow, I just finished a very quick preview of what I think would look good on the main page. It's pretty simple, but I think it's neat, classy and works effectively. This is just a quick copy, I didn't include the Nessa top bar.
WARNING: LARGE IMAGE.

Also, ignore the skip in the lace. There were five of those, and I fixed all but one. It's gone in a newer version.

The main page needs updating period. It's very out of date with information as well. With that said, I really like your page, I don't mind the lace, it's a touch Victorian, which is V's style anyway. It would be more simplistic and most likely look better without it, but it's not hateful.
-
that background is really cool!
-
Definitely a yes.
-
I honestly love it! I like the little lace thingys too. It's simple but still looks nice and elegant. The main page would also need information updating since the last one was from like 2007, I believe.
-
I love it! Definitely yes. :)
The website really needs updating.
-
Beautiful!

Thanks so much everyone! <3
Sarab: Haha, I actually included the lace because it looked to plain before. I wanted to incorporate something that Vanessa would like into the site, so I thought Victorian lace would really help represent her.
Medic: Thanks so much! C:
Sobri: Thanks dahling. (:
Rabbit: Thanks! I like the lace too. I agree about the information; unfortunately, I'm not a mod or an admin on the site so that's not up to me. That's why I included the hot topics part, though -- in case there's a lack of updating on the site, the Hot Topics will link to the forum and remain active.
Lydia: I agree. And that darn unicorn bothers me every time I sign in. xD
Saba: Thank you!

Are you going to update the site now? If so, when?
-
I don think he/she is a moderator :(
-
Oooh, nice! I like how the background is wood panels too. It gives it a homey feel.

As soon as I finish a decent model of this, I'm going to contact a moderator and propose the idea. xD And brush up on my CSS if I have to.
-
Good luck(: I hope they agree haha

Definitely agree we need a makeover and update. One thing for sure is across the top it has to be NESSAholics not all caps. I'll talk with the other mods & admin and see what we can do about a changes.

Okay, I'll fix that now. C: I wasn't sure, so I tested both out. Both look fine but I thought this went with the theme more.

That is really beautiful, i think the background, lace, text and little rabbit are so fitting to the album
Maybe we could find a way to link the twitter updates to the main page as well as news.. just a thought.
I want to see that everytime i click on the site. Who is able to make the changes?

Could we stick with the same color theme.
It makes me feel like I'm home :D

Well, we are old, we've been around 9 years.
Priorities etc. have changed as far as having every minute to be online. Not to mention V hasn't done a whole lot the past few years.
Thanks for your guys' feedback but it's coming off really rude and unappreciative. :-\

If I supply the art, the moderators of the site can make the change if they agree. C:
@eclv - I hope I'm not offending you! I certainly don't intend to -- you guys have done a fantastic job with the upkeep of the site. I could never maintain a site for nine years! I was just proposing that we both get something out of this -- I get something for my portfolio for art school, and you get a nifty new site with only a little effort for coding on your part.
I think I speak for all of us when I say that you and all the other mods really are the backbone of the site. You do a fantastic job and I appreciate it so much. C:

I had a feeling you might have been upset. With comments that I have made, I realize that you all have lives and jobs and families and what not. I do not expect anyone's number one priority to be updating a fan page, even a fan page of Vanessa. I apologize for any rudeness! (as none was intended, but even the best of intentions can be misinterpreted)

I'm actually not a fan of the blue (not a fan of blue in general really) but I can see why you'd want to keep it :)

I don't mind the blue, but the theme as it is matches what Nessa's site's style looks like as of right now. xD;
Also! New version! The top bar is now a bottom-bar. Made of typography.

I think it is a good layout. I am also in agreement that a new site is in order... i just know i don't have the time. I appreciate the willingness of the fans to contribute and make it a more collaborative approach.
and to whomever mentioned not liking the unicorn! you clearly don't know the history of V with unicorns ;)
the cool thing about websites is whatever we don't like we can change... so the layout i've seen proposed looks good... and maybe we change it up in the future again if we want.
so to whomever wants to be the webmaster for nessaholics.com and design a new site contact me and we can discuss how we want to do it.
thanks

You could use a CMS like Wordpress and then modify an existent template with what Serentic did. I's easy to write articles, create users etc... No need to know any technical things (except for its installation).
I made a quick test in 15min but I will soon delete it.

Kaysha, I'd be all for doing it if you could kind of moderate it..
What I mean is, I don't know the first thing about running a website. However, I do know how to create flash sites, so if you'd be willing to set up a flash content box on the main page, I can have the new layout up and running within two hours.
But I can't be the webmaster -- no time on my hands. xD
