Gig Lovers: Ready in under one week.
I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel.
The homepage is now complete, it's very simple, but like the 'Gig Details' page (see below) I was never happy with it.
The final pieces are about to drop in to place. These are namely:
Widgets
I have an idea of where I want to go with these. An example of one of the widgets is below.
It's a simple one showing a users 'next gig'. If they don't have an upcoming gig then it'll flip back to either 'Last Gig' or 'No upcoming gigs' depending on what the user selects.
RSS feeds
These are pretty straight forward to set up and I have the 'infrastructure' in place. The main problem is knowing what the users want available so I'll include basic feeds such as users/band upcoming gigs and listen to user feedback with regard what they want feedivised.
Gig Details Page
This has been the most difficult page for me to accept as complete, I can't seem to get it right. I'm going to strip out all the existing rubbish on the page and keep it simple. Again, I think this is a page that will need a bit of feedback from users. I've seen it a few times too many.
