DS8 Design Phase

[IrascibleOne]

Hello everyone! I've finally gotten to the point where I've created a basic outline of what I think the site will be like. Keep in mind, this is a high level view so I'm not even thinking about specific content or minor features yet. Feedback and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Worked on it a bit more today. Here's an outline that's a bit more detailed.

Been digging deeper this last week, getting specific on the content for each page. Below is an example of the content for a submission. This isn't the only thing I'm working on though. Not shown is URIs, SEO stuff, figuring out the purpose, call to actions, and a few other things for each page to help make sure I design it right. Lots of work, lots of decisions, lots of "Oh s--t! I need that too."

This isn't a complete list and I've got to do it for every single page, so I'm taking my time on it. I may post all the pages so you guys can give feedback sometime soon. But if they end up too big, I'm not sure you guys will want to look through it all...we'll see.
