NewCSG

Hello everyone, and welcome to the new Crimson Sky Graphics!

After over a year of designing, coding, and exploring ideas, I am extremely happy to announce the launch of the completely overhauled site. It’s been an insane amount of work and a big learning process, but an enjoyable one all the same. I really hope you all like the new look as much as I do, as well. I know it must be a huge change to those used to the vibrant red, white, and black of the old site. Hopefully it’s an improvement, though. :)

Before I say anymore, however, I want to thank you all for your wonderful patience. Due to my hectic schedule and all the work it took to put this together, I was slacking tremendously in updating the free content over the past year. I’m aiming to change all of that now that it’ll be easier to update and I should have a bit more time on my hands.

Please take a moment to read this post and find out all of the great changes that you’ll find on the site.

What’s New:

New Front Page: No more text news posts to see some of the new content. Now you can quickly and easily check out the front page to see what’s most recently been added to the site. Along with the featured content shown in the fancy slider at the top, you’ll find previews of the latest free resources, tutorial, and blog post in an easy to view format.

Comments: Finally! This is a feature that I’ve been wanting to add for a long time now. The separate forum just wasn’t cutting it. Now you’ll be able to leave your thoughts on any of the free content on this site, including tutorials and blog posts without having to leave the page. This is probably the biggest change that you’ll find.

Integrated Blog: No more leaving the site to read the Crimson Sky Graphics blog. Now it’s hosted as a part of the main site, so it’s much easier to check out and interact with.

Simplified Free Content Pages: This feature is pretty cool. In the past each of the layouts had a bunch of information cluttering up the pages, listing titles and information along with each thumbnail. That has been replaced by clean and simple thumbnails of each item, which allows you to pick what you like much easier.

Additional Ways to Filter Content: You can now browse layouts and graphics by colour, as well as the old way of using categories. This is one of my favorites because it makes finding the item that fits you best way faster, because it allows for more sorting options. In the future, you’ll probably see more filters added to make it even better, as well.

What’s to Come:

Tutorials: As you may have already noticed, the tutorial section of the site is much more prominent now. I know that, in the past, it wasn’t really updated much, but that should change now with the new site. For now, you can read more about it by checking out this post.

More Layouts and Graphics: Due to the large quantity of layouts and graphics that the old site had, it’s going to take me a bit to transfer them over. Some of them probably won’t make the transition, either, due to being rather outdated. No worries, though, they’ll be replaced by many more, higher quality ones in the future!

Well, that’s about it for now. I hope you like the new site and feel like participating by adding your own thoughts in the new comments sections of the pages. Let us know what you think of what we have, or simply say hello! :)
