Site relaunched!
Our new site is now live! Well, we say “live”… its nearly there but we have some reorganising to do still, so please bear with us while things move about a bit and get it all in order. The main change is the front page, where we now have the rather snazzy Featured Shows section, as well as our new Featured Video which will allow us to get all AV on your ass with some videos of tracks we’re loving. Overall though the layout is the main alteration, with what we hope will be a more engaging experience for you lovely users, along with improved formatting on articles too. The redesign also comes as part of a wider strategy to link the various shows run by Motive Unknown, namely Turntable Radio and Mr Trick and Wrongtom, and have each show operating with its own website that shares this layout.
How do you like it so far though? Tell us below!

I’m loving the new layout, It makes perfect sense to keep all “mess” out of the way instead of surrounding the main articles like you were before.
I’d appreciate some nice clear links to your sister sites but apart from that I can’t find a fault.
Job well done! (well almost :p)

lol I just noticed your clock’s an hour out…

Jungleboy – rest assured links (in fact the same RSS feed summaries) of our other sites will be back online soon; we’re just working on the best way to do it without buggering up the whole site layout, heheh. There will also be a dedicated site for the Trick and Wrongtom shows launching soon too, enabling the second sister show to have its own space rather than piggy-backing my blog.
Oh and nice spot with the clock; hadn’t noticed that! Shall add it to the “to do” list

needs to use collapsing menus/sub-menus more. aesthetically it’s no better or worse than before, if you can coordinate the other shows into the site then it will be better for content, but try to keep in mind the end user and the amount of clicking they have to go through to get around.
anyway that’s my 2p. as long as you keep bringing the music i couldn’t care what the website looks like
. looking forward to more from the rhythm inc team for 2009!

Thanks for the comments GS. They actually highlight to me the different browsing habits of people. Some want to just come and get the media we post up, whilst others want more of a decent look and feel to things. Nothing wrong with either I might add; just different experiences sought is all.
Good points re: the browsing and tie-ins with the other shows. We are looking at both, and as mentioned above we will be bringing back RSS summaries of Turntable Radio and the Mr Trick and Wrongtom shows and ensuring that on all show sites that function is there so people can see what’s going on with all our output.
Thanks again for the comments though; always good to know people care enough to leave some constructive remarks.
peace
Trick
