You may of realised the website hasn't been updated for quite a few months. This is because I have not been able to find the time to create new news articles and upload photos as each alteration is a very long process. Because I do not currently have the time to re-design the website to a more professional level the website will be re-built by a web based company called evernet.co.uk. They specalise in our type of website and have agreed to build the website to how I request. Hopefully the new website will be much more professional. Also there wont be any pop-up adverts like with the current website as we will not be using any free services off other websites like before. Instead all features will be custom built for Rallystuff.net. Unfortunately the website will be offline until the upgrade is complete which is expected to take about a month. I thank you for your patience during this time. Meanwhile the forum will still be up and running and I hope to post some development shots of the new website if possible.

This is the first development shot of the new rallystuff.net website which I recieved earlier. The designer is asking for as many requests possible to help with the design so please post any suggestions you have here. Thanks.

Yep, very good. If you use that design, you should make it so that you can change the pic of the rally car.

I personally think the site would look better if the images were of WRC cars. We could have a mixture of JWRC and WRC I guess. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

I would like a variety of rally cars. Classic and modern. I like the look...very fresh and new looking!

how much longer now before its back??? In my original post I said it would take about a month and that was posted on Sep 6th, but I think it may take a little longer than October 6th. Thanks for Patience meanwhile though.

Latest screenshot - Prototype Shot 2Click to enlarge The designer wasn't satisfied with the original layout and has completly changed it. I for one much prefer it. As usual please post any comments and suggestions you may have. They are all very much appreciated. The designer (Jacob Ward) has told me he will sign up to the forum so he can answer your questions directly.

That's good that he's going to join us to further enhance the website. Although to be perfectly honest, I think the design of the title could be further enhanced. All in all, you've got a good designer

I think the design of the title could be further enhanced. I have already spoke to a few people about that and their response was generally the same. I also agree and have emailed the designer.

Hi, I've been designing the site, and as Curt mentioned expect to have it finished by the 6th of October. I'll check this board regularly, so if you have any questions, suggestions or comments you want me to see, please post them. Jacob Ward, of Evernet Web Design

Good to meet you Jacob. I already told Curt that I'm trying to design a new logo in my head. Something track related with a car. At the moment I'm just playing with images and I'm not even sure if there will be any contribution for me but I'll pen my thought tomorrow in school when I'm free. After that I'll try my best to get it on paint and then submit it here. Another thing would be I just think it looks a bit too plain. It's GREAT, but a tad bit too plain. There's a small picture, lots of text, and an impressive array of maroon scissor cuts above. In my opinion, J, I think we need a bit more texture and background in the middle, just to make livelier. I don't really know what, not pictures because then it just seems as if you're adding more blocks to cover space, but something else, something different. Again, I'll think about it in school tomorrow. *sudden inspiration* Ah! Is it possible to have a background that moves?? Like my avatar (I can make it a bit bigger) only just moving, a scene of about 10-15 seconds. Guys, tell me what you think. A link to forum/link to buying rallystuff merchandise on the left hand and links to the forum/gallery/who to contact on the right. Hhhmmmmnn....I'm pretty sure my usually-creative mind will come up with something, but for now, please rate this mates. Hopefully something will come on
