Default Website re-design?

I had a spare hour this morning so I've knocked up a new design for the clubs website. I hope that's ok and I'm not treading on anyones toes?

The current site http://www.neamotorsport.co.uk/ just doesn't do it for me. The website should make people want to attend, it should be really easy for people to find what they're looking for, and most of all it should be up to date.

Anyway, this is what I've put together.

http://www.web-development-server.com/neam.jpg

A things about my proposal.

The website would be content managed, in simple terms that means almost all aspects of the site will be able to be modified easily by logging into the site.

The race calendar will be an actual calendar, and will be managed by someone logging into the admin interface and entering a date. The system will deal with showing the date in the right place on the calendar.

I came up with a feature called Driver Profile. Essentially, when someone is a member of the club they'll get a login. The driver can log into the website and upload their own images of their car etc. They'll also be able to enter information such as they car's they're running, ESC, motor and other settings. I think it'll be a good feature so people can see what members are running, especially new people.

There'd be a latest news section, again managed by the content management system.

And finally, a slideshow at the top showing some really cool pictures.

I think it's important to get lots of videos on the site as well to entice people into wanting to come to the club.

My aim is for the club to have the best, most comprehensive website of all the clubs in the country!

I although think the club should take advantage of facebook and twitter to let people know it exists.

Again, it's something to talk about on Sunday.

and for those that have not realised yet, yes, I do this for a living.

Looks good , I agree with the Facebook and twitter thing as you see alot of clubs, shops and companys saying check out our ...... Page.

Has the club really got a grant of 1m ? Or was it just mock up news ?

I've quickly converted the layout into a web page so you can get a better idea of how it looks in your browser.

There's already a facebook page. I sent the login details for it to Chris p awhile back, if someone wants them I'll dig them out when I have 5 mins spare. If you want all the logos etc send me your email address and I'll send them across.

For anyone that's interested, I've built most of the driver profiles area.

If you click any of the driver profiles link on the website you'll kind of see how it's operates. I think it'll be a good feature and will enable existing and new members to have an insite into other drivers, especially some of the more experienced ones.

Currently all the driver profiles are managed through a login to an admin interface (by the site administrator), but when I get time I'll add a section onto the site itself for drivers to login and manage their own profile, that way we don't need someone managing the website all the time.

I'm open to any comments and suggestions.

Right, I'm off to do this list of chors the wife has left me!

EDIT: I forgot to mention. A driver can add multiple cars to their profile, so when someone looks at their profile it'll list both cars and images for each. Great for those that have both 2wd and 4wd.

I think that's the integration of the driver profiles done. Once we get sorted we can start entering peoples email addresses into the system to people can start logging in and updating their profile ready for when the site is ready to go live.

I've also managed to get the calendar done as well. So an admin can enter dates into the CMS, and the site handles showing the dates in the calendar, with a click through to more information about the specific event. It'll be great for letting people know when racing is on, but also good for letting people know about other events, and also how to buy tickets, or register etc.

Sorry, I didn't seek permission for images as they won't be making it into the live site, they have just been used to help design the site and get a good look and feel.

However if we have permission we may keep your image.
