Design Shack has been a phemonemal success since it’s launch, with over 1 million visits, and a quarter of a million clicks to our various featured designs. The current design and layout has been perfect for us so far, but not it’s time for a change. We aren’t looking to offer anything different - just integrate a couple of new features and make the whole experience easier to use. We’re adding a lot more AJAX and JavaScript for some fancy visual effects.

We’ll now have news snippets, and an easier method of submitting your site for listing. It’ll be a piece of cake to browse designs by views, clicks, type, colour scheme and more and we’ll have a wider array of RSS feeds to keep you up to date.

It’s almost ready to go, with some graphics courtesy of Veerle who has been really helpful. There’s a sneak preview on the right, but you’ll have to wait a couple more weeks for the unveiling. I’m looking forward to it, and I hope it receives a good response!
