One of the things we wanted to achieve over the Xmas break was to revamp our website. Our basic site we’d put together rather quickly over 2 years ago and was looking very tired. We made a conscious effort to invest the time and money to get a fresh, new look. After spending the last few days on re-skinning we’ve released our first cut. We’ve got lots of little things left along with lots of content and ways to improve the site.
We’ve upgraded to the latest version of DotNetNuke and added a bunch of modules to improve the look and usability of our site. One of my favourite changes is the Projects Page. It gives project overview and a range of screenshots as well as a tag cloud to help with navigation.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on the new design. Do you think it’s better than what we had? What are we missing?

Re: Soul Solutions Site Revamp
I will always feedback anything about Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 problems back to the website developer whenever I can. The Microsoft IE8 development team have made some pretty radical changes this time around particularly with interaction of Javascript code. I'd say convervatively 50% of all websites that have Javascript code as part of the rendering process will fail in some way. Although Microsoft insist that the changes make the browser more compatible. You can of course use the IE7 Compatability View mode which uses quirky mode to make the website render correctly from then on, albeit cheating.
In your case, the purple striped background overlays over the white background, making the text impossible to read. Sometimes a page refresh fixes it, and certainly setting IE7 mode, but it would be nice to have it work correctly in IE8, as it is not long now that IE8 will reach Release Candidate. I don't expect they will revert back to the non-compliant mode just to make all websites render correctly. At the moment I think this problem is the most radical decision that the browser team have done as it has forced over half the worldwide website developers to drastically rebuilt their sites or fix their code out of the "lazy" coding practise that they have been getting away with for all this time. Eventually it may settle down, but it may make users switch over to Firefox.
