Time flies fast, especially during summer like this. Finally, the page is in the relatively consistent alpha stage, so I can be shown it to someone else and ask for another opinion – most probably at Everfree Encore, happening in a few days.

Oh, and I finalized the page header and the site… let’s call it an avatar because OC is too much noble for this creation 🙂 an earth pony, designed deliberately in a vague way – with a European continent silhouette as a cutie mark and a light blue body referring to the seas and oceans around the Old continent. Because in all the diversity among us, this land and the neighboring sea are the home to all of us who call it home. Name’s Europa, as it is.

Work continues, initial texts about conventions are done and passed the first proofreading. Many details were changed, but that was kinda expected. Made me a bit sad though. Now to put them here and adjust to the website.

Event calendar should be essential for this site – I’ve tested some plugins before I found the one suitable for usage here. As these are all free-to-use plugins, CSS coding and adjustments are on me. Sigh… but yeah, I knew this from the very start: this is a non-profit activity. At least I’m refreshing my web coding skills and never stop wondering, what’s nowadays even possible with stuff like flex design.

Also, another big part is done and that’s requests for permission to use the events graphic designs here! Loading graphics from other websites turned out to be a bad idea. It took a lot of time and messages but seems like most of that is done! I’m happy to report that I got “Yes” from everypony I’ve asked.

Although I’m still struggling with designing some page elements and also the version for mobile devices, I have the basic page design done. Yay! Now bug hunting and calendar design.
