At the end of last month, Martin was wondering what happened to old designs:
What also happens to all the great designs that last just a while before their owner get an itchy mouse finger and decides to redesign. Some of these sites deserve to be seen a little more than they are. There are some sites that seem to have changed everytime I go back – and yes they are more often than not an improvement. But what happens to the old design?
Its a good question. And so, in that spirit I’m going to release an old design into the wild. The site I designed it for suffered from that most pernicious of designer problems: never really getting round to it.
The design is live here for you to have a look at and decide if its something you fancy. I ain’t going to make anyone jump through hoops for it – email me and the first person to get through gets it. One proviso: No hate sites or sites that promote intolerance can be used with this design. If I check on what you’ve done with it and there’s a hate site up there I’ll feel obliged to tell you to make the design available for someone else to use. Anything else (including porn, blogs, adult humour, whatever) is fine by me. Its valid XHTML, CSS and passes A/508 compliance. Integrated style sheet switcher included but I’m afraid I’ve misplaced all my PSD’s – the main image is from stock.xchng though so you’ll have no trouble mocking it up again.

Man, that’s really pretty. Looks almost too good to give away.
I have a few old templates I could probably offer away. But there’s a lot of them half finished. It’d mean spending some time battering them into a shape slightly usuable by others… did you spend time cleaning up your code?
I didn’t 😦
Its still very much in prototype coding – haven’t even removed redundant styles from my template!
It was supposed to be an online resource for accessible websites but I just never got the time to make a proper go of it.
Anyway, we have a taker so he’ll be getting it as soon as I zip it all up 🙂
Thats just what I needed as well, bollocks.
This just isnt my week 😦
It’s a great design, thanks for letting me use it. I’ll pop a link over when it’s live.
