New Site Design - Alpha Version Preveiw

Well she isn't ready for full production yet, but we are excited about how the new site layout is coming along and wanted to share it with you. Bear in mind this is a work in progress & code is not finalized so not all things are working yet. The drop down menus are definitely going to be changed some and ignore the javascript error you may get as I'm working on eliminating that.

Some other great changes include an improved photo gallery section with thumbnails that are twice the size of the old ones (demostrated here, but not to scale). There will be others, we can't wait to share them all with you!


Please share any of your constructive criticism with us as this is your chance to influence the new design of RodandPiston.com

New site layout for RodandPiston.com

It's been a few years since we changed things up, so I've been working on a new layout for the site for the past few weeks. The new layout will have a different flyout menu at the top instead of on the left side giving us a little more space for content. So far this is a rough draft of one of the many designs I'm liking the most. Any feedback/constructive criticism is appreciated.
