DNBNATION v3.0
A few months ago I got the absolute honour of being asked to redesign dnbnation.com from the ground up. DNBNATION is a website dedicated to pushing the progression of drum and bass to its fullest form of quality. Delivering informative interviews / articles, up-to-date and breaking news, cutting edge dubplate soundbytes, captivating videos, on-hand knowledgeable staff and an exclusive mix series.
We used Joomla! as the content management system, and went with a full screen, table-less xhtml & css layout. The site is w3c valid and it uses very little in the way of images making it very quick on load times. I also went to great lengths to ensure compatibility including a collapsing column on the front page when the user’s screen is under 750px width as well as dynamic font sizing. I was also asked to design a lightweight custom php forum skin to match the site.
All in all I had a blast designing and coding this site, and would like to thank the whole dnbnation.com team for asking me to do this and their hospitality.
