new website

I'm working on a complete website overhaul. Aside from updating some of the general content, I'm going to add dynamic report generation. Instead of typing in the pedigree and progeny and details for every page that lists a horse, there will be a database with all the info. When a visitor clicks on a horse's name, the pedigree or progeny or detail view will come from the database. This will make updating a lot easier.

In addition, I'm going to completely change the look of the whole site. We've had a shift in focus to just Pasos and gaited horses, and away from Saddlebreds. To drive that point home, I intend to create new logos and the site will have a new layout and fresh look. I like the old site, but it's time for a change!

I've started working on it, and the back end stuff is coming along well. Meanwhile, I've also started playing with colours and designs. I really haven't decided yet, but here's the result of a bit of a play around today. Nothing final, this is just the equivalent of random thoughts on colour and shape :-)


The horse will be changed for something more Paso or my flying horse logo...
