I also haven't read the ton of posts before this so I may repeat points but here's my thoughts on the front page:1. I like the drop down menus across the top - it makes areas much easier to find straight away. (However if this is where it is going to be then you could do with a "top of page" link at the bottom of the page to travel back to it quickly after reading down the other information.)2. I don't like the text reaching so far across the page. It makes it harder to read which ultimately could mean people won't read it - this would mean a waste of your time in putting all this hard work into it. Newspapers use narrow columns for a good reason, small blocks of text are easier on the eye. In this respect the old layout is better.3. I think the links down the side are a good idea - but would be better on the left hand side, as this is where your text is justified against.4. I'm not to keen on the current text background. This is probably a personal preference but behind large areas of text I prefer it to be a solid colour rather than any sort of picture/texture. Again it's because it makes it that tiny bit harder to read. If you really want to keep it I'd suggest changing the font you use over it to something a little bolder.You obviously put a huge amount of time and effort into this site and that shows. For a first quck layout it has some good possibilities. I look forward to seeing what other ideas you have for the site! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
