Frank's Place Redesign

Change is inevitable, eh? Of course, when we change, it's for the better. Or at least not for the worst. Because I know you care oh-so-much (lest you would not have clicked), the stuff we've done includes...

  • Removed the use of frames (where the left side never changed and you'd scroll only in the right side), because:
    • Forwarding someone to a page looked all funny otherwise
    • Google, Yahoo and other web searches took people to weird places
    • It paves the way for a site-wide search
  • Created a Site Map and Search features
  • Standardized the use of fonts, colors, and page layouts (like it was a problem before, right? Not really, no.)
  • Pictures will now appear in a new window (one new window per page, sorta hard to explain). This helps reduce the amount of time some of the larger picture pages need to load, by only loading a mini-sized picture, and you'll load the bigger picture only if you want to.
  • Some of the content was cleaned up a bit, which is to be expected, now that I've grown to nearly 200MB in content, including 800 HTML web pages, 3,250 images (pictures, headers, etc.), and 10 or so bits of unique Javascript sorts of code (with some of them appearing a few hundred times, but I can't take credit for copy-and-paste deals).

Of course, none of this would have been possible without the help of a rather large web development team. Working short hours, with lots of breaks, eating the food I provided and surfing the internet looking at questionable content, these tiresome folks were able to get the web changes done in only a few months, whereas it would have taken one efficient, focused, dedicated duck a couple of days.

* Actual web development team is not pictured... all of these people are shown only to make this look like a big-time production and help us gain foreign investment capital. Not that the attempt is working out, of course.
