Site History

I have already explained why I set up this site in "The Concept", so here I will give the details of the layouts used to style the directory.

Version One

This was the very first version of the site, the "under construction" version. I didn't spend too long on it because it was simply a temporary measure while I was evaluating whether or not the concept of a directory for Bollywood related sites would be popular enough to warrant the time I would spend on it. It served the purpose of providing information until it gained 25 members at which I decided it was worth giving it my all.

Version Two

Having gained 25 members I was thinking about the next layout. At that time Neema had just submitted her site, Nakshatra Nights, to the directory and asked if there was anything she could do to help. Not being a graphic designer myself I asked her if she would create a banner for me. I had an idea of the colours, I knew what images I wanted to use, and her style of work fit the bill. She designed a header image that I loved so much and which gave me such inspiration for site colours I decided to leave it up for months before gaining 90 members by which time I wanted to change my tables for DIVs and therefore needed to create a new layout.
