Redeveloping the website – ideas welcome!

The headphone reviews website starting life as an experiment, as a service for head-fi.org users to keep the headphone reviews all in one place. It was thrown together quite quickly, and has worked really well for a few years, but as it’s grown and the viewers of the website have changed it’s come time to put some time and effort into redeveloping it.

Over the next few months we’re going to be redeveloping the website from the ground up, a complete replacement of the front end and the logic that runs it. All the existing users, reviews, and ratings will be kept, but there will be minor changes like discarding the soundstage field, which I now think is pretty much a load of baloney. The redevelopment will make it much easier for us to add new content and features, fix bugs, and evolve the website over time.

I’m open to all ideas, big and small, that will make the website better. Please comment below with any ideas you’d like to see.

The look and feel of the website is a little dated now, but we don’t have the skills in-house to make a really nice, modern design. If I can find an individual or firm who would can do this for me their payment would be a link on the home page, which is seen by around 30,000 people per month. We want something modern, clean, and fresh, html compliant, seo optimised, perhaps a bit of gee-whiz ajax, that will integrate well with our user interface template framework. Any individuals or firms interested in working with us should use our contact page to get in touch.
