Vectips Gets A Facelift
Inspiration | March 14th, 2009

Today I’m rolling out a slight redesign of Vectips! The main goal with the redesign is to improve the usability of Vectips. With the new changes it will be easier to explore posts and interact with other users. The changes include updated navigation bar, sidebar, comments, and few other tweaks. Check out the updates and let me know what you think!




















Lookin’ good! Quite like the unique and minimal navigation.
Looking pretty good man!, more more ha ha ha
Simple but efective changes!! Great!
Clean and Clear!
Subtle but very effective. Also amazing looking graphics as usual i just LOVE the feel of your site. Thanks for sharing!
The beard is new right? Is this the “spent a week without worrying about personal hygiene” freelancer look?
I like the updates a lot. Similar to the old design, but very nice updates to it. A+
Very very nice and effective changes! Great job!
**Just one thing: check out Friendfeed in the footer, you type it Freindfeed
Oops! Thanks for catching that. I’m sure there will be more typos.
Love it, great work effective use of your great icon illustrations!
This is a good job!
This is great, good luck
I like it. Your header is pretty slick.
Looks good!

I dig it.
this is pretty dope. But if I had digg i would digg it. lol!
Pretty nice facelifts, but I miss a cup of coffee onto the table ;o)
loving the new navigation bar, but how about adding a “selected” state to the items, based on the page you are viewing? also, not to be nit picky, but have you thought about moving your search form up in the page at all? either near the top navigation, or above the ads?
loving the cohesiveness throughout the design and layout though, with teh greens. Nice work!
Thanks for the great suggestions! The selected state is a good idea. I briefly looked at putting the search form closer to the top, I think I will have to revisit it.
I like everything except, the guys sitting in front of that computer and the (transform) selection around the vector tips logo…
thats all nothing else
Looks good Rype! Love the idea of updating what needs to be updated by not redoing the entire site just because.
Awesome update. I love the improvements with the icons and details of the site. Great job! Thx.
I totally dig the icons on the main navigation bar! Very cool!
Looks great! I really like all of the subtle refinements and the iconography.
It looks and works better! I like the crisp icons. Keep up the good work.
I, like others, like the icons for links. I also liked the navigation you had in your previous (unreleased) version. Believe it had some slick tabby nature.
Quite like the touch ups on the sidebar too!
it looks better
Looks really nice but I would suggest a tad bit more padding between your navigation items…just not much separation currently.
This has always been a useful and great looking site. Keep up the good work.
very good Rype! Great job.
Really nice changes, the site looks cool!
Finally found a blogging site that is clean, smart, great usability and a little more up to date y
Many Thanks
