The design of the pingVision site was driving me crazy.
It really wasn't supposed to be the actual site design, but rather a temp theme to be cleaned up and spiffed up a bit. 18 or 20 months later (I actually don't know exactly how much later) I finally got around to replacing it.
It's certainly different. Cleaner. Simpler. Too simple?
I'd started on this new design several months ago, but left the theme half-done in order to focus on client work. Finally I just had to spend a weekend tinkering with it to get it live on the site.
This really was more of a starting over from scratch on the whole template, rather than just a CSS reboot. There might be some bugs in it -- I have yet to see it in IE7, and IE6 worked yesterday, but I made some changes since -- but there it is, in an unofficial live beta. Still to do (aside from debugging): update it and the site to Drupal 5, and update some of our main pages.
So what do you think?
It doesn't really seem right to add our own website design to our own portfolio so this is probably the only place I'll post this.

Hi,
I must say out of all of the Drupal themes I have seen your "Ping Vision" theme is a very nice change from the norm. I feel it fits in with the site well and at the end of the day it is just different!
If you do ever release this theme publically please let me know, I am a newby to Drupal and currently searching high and low for a theme with a difference (this is how i found your site)
All the Best,
Shane.
I plan to release something. It just will take some cleaning up, as well as coding for different page layouts, and that means time, and availability of that is fleeting and sporadic.
I appreciate your compliment! Thanks!
It looks great Laura,
It pulls things up to par with your other work. Definitely a good step forward.
IE7 looks fine - the only difference being that the primary links are flush to the top of the browser.
My one observation is that in the sidebar there is no visual hint to show what is a link and what is not.
That's a good point about the sidebar links. I should do something about that.
Thank you!
Awesome. Very clean design. I like the floating look of everything.
Thank you!
