structure and layout design for a community/blog

Featured Replies

Hi there im kay and new to this forum.

 

im a webdesigner and im busy on a new site.

www.compactdj.com is my company where i sell underground electronic music for deejays and such.

 

for this company im building i community / blog and i realy want to have a web 2.0 kind of style website.

 

i now have the following: www.compactdj.com/community

i love the left and top part of the site, but im still struggeling with the right part. does anyone have any ideas what i could try to keep the innovative web 2.0 style?

 

Thanks all...

It's a bit difficult to explain without doing things... I don't know what sort of content you were planning on putting on that right side but maybe break down your posts into categories and display the available categories on the right side. You can display the most popular post as a little list too... A flickr feed if you have photos you can post on flickr... that sort of thing... about the style, keep it in line with what you have there, it looks good to me!

I might open a debate there but the "web 2.0" thing is really about what your site does and not the way it looks! although the trend at the moment are gradient and bubbles and stuff what makes a good "2.0" to me is the CONTENT and the functionalities you can offer, look at something like tinyurl for example, not much style there but what a cool app! You're running a blog/community and you offer syndication, you're doing your "2.0" bits ;)

 

Keep up the good work ;)

The image on the right side of this link has a spelling mistake 'Unkown'....

Heey guys thanks for your reply's

 

the right column is going to be on the top headlines. so news stuff.

then there need to be the following information

 

- newest users

- active forum topics

- news headlines (10 newest articles)

- flickr feed

- top downloads

- syndicate (rss and such)

 

but what i need are cool design ideas.. so i know what i want there but now how to design it there.. hmm :( u guys got ideas... im idea-less for days now.

Personally I would have the login part on the right and add extras like vB Portal would have and the content/posts on the right side.

yes indeed that is the idea, but how to design it cool with web2.0 looks ;)

Why not have a look online at other sites and get inspired...
