Ok so I've been trying my best for a long time to make each section of BM "mobile-friendly". But using code developed over 13 years, some of which is using very old standards, it's been very difficult (sometimes impossible) to get pages full functional on mobiles.

That's why I've decided to completely rebuild the website! Starting from the ground up. New foundation, new colouring, and designing with mobile users first in mind.

I'll try my best to keep as much of the current site ideas so as not to get everyone confused when V2 finally gets released.

For those of you interested, here's some screenshots from the past week (you can see the desktop look, mobile look and menu items).

Hope you like it! I'll post regular updates here of course

Looking really good. Sounds like the coding being a real pain in the rear. Sometimes starting from scratch isn't a bad idea. Hope rest of design works out for you.

Lindsay where's the pink? I only see green.
Matt I find the text a bit on the small side and a bit blurred, but that could be my crap phone or I need new lenses for my gigs

Anyone interested in taking a peak, go to http://www.bikermatch.me.uk

Only working on the design right now, so please don't report to me that buttons aren't functioning correctly.

Pages done so far... Help/FAQ, rules, homepage (except search form), profile-search (just design so far)

Curious how the layout functions on your mobiles. Feedback please

Ok anyone care to give me feedback on the new search page? Especially if you're using a mobile.

There's still some things to tweak, but the general idea is what you now see...

http://beta.bikermatch.co.uk (Click on Profiles>Search in menu)

Ignore any errors about security/certificate (because the address is beta. instead of www.)

Tried the link on the tablet....and I just get the word "LOADING" and that is it. Is this cos it says beta? I left it for about 5 mins
