[this rave is repeated for each of these page design threads]
We're busily steaming ahead on our CMS 2 work - redesign of the look and feel, and an entirely new back end. Using the feedback from the other thread in this sub-forum, and collected from emails, the boards and chats with users over the last few years, we're making something that is pretty awesome. Obviously, what we're showing here are screen shots, and you cannot interact with them, and interactivity is a key part of the design, but it'll give you an idea of some of the stuff we're doing.
I stress these are Alpha designs, not locked in stone, not complete, but have been through several design iterations, and are close to where we'll be. The icons are all place-holders. We have imported most of the media added to the site in 2009, so we have some data to play with.
Of course, there are many more pages to come, but here's a taste. Feedback is welcome, but not all feature requests will be implemented for go-live. But, once we do go live, we'll be adding new features. In a few months, we'll be looking for beta testers to try to break stuff.
Search, tag, filter
This first page is search, tags and filters (tags not yet implemented in the front end). Search has been something we have done very poorly to date. The new search will more than make up for that. Search by models, shoots, images and videos, then filter by any combo of media type, age, height (more to come). Then, sub-sort by tags. Sort the results in a few different ways, and it's pretty well covered.
