Seen the homepage of the vBulletin?

vBulletin Home

It looks cool I like the features in the suit.

http://www.vbulletin.com/index.php?do=features

New homepage design is great. Clean and professional look.

Having worked with designers like jp33 (as a buyer), and knowing the value of money, I personally think it looks quite cheap.. I'm definitely going to backup the old favicon for future use..

I don't think this will work btw.

HTML Code:

<meta name="description" content="<strong>Content publishing, search, security

Random quote:

Full CSS layout and design

Random codebit:

Code:

<tr>
	<th class="feature">Upgrades</th>
	<td style="text-align:center;;">
		<span style="color:#090; font-weight:bold;">FREE!</span>
		<br />
		<span style="color:#2D2D2D;">(Active licenses only)</span>
	</td>
	<td style="text-align:center; color:red;">
		<strike style="color:#2D2D2D;">$250</strike>
		<b>$130</b>
		<br />
		<span style="color:#2D2D2D;">(Pre-sale Price)</span>
	</td>
</tr>

They never said anything about it being fully Semantic or Valid

Good choice how they changed the design. I like the homepage, but not sure about some of the screenshots. But the pricing could have been done better. If you haven't renewed your license before this week you are now screwed.

They hinted at this months ago in one of the annoucement threads.

I have read most of them but didn't exactly see a warning about it. Anyway, you should check out the vb support forums, a lot of customers hate vb for doing this. Bad choice imo.

It was bound to happen.

Frankly, i'm excited. It seems a lot of people are just giving up. That means time to pick up decent sites for pennies

forums hunting! why not.

Yeah saw it yesterday. It looks better than the old boring look they had earlier. Hope they come up with a vb4 demo soon.

wonder what something like that would cost to create (home page)

It depends... I wouldn't be surprised if some companies would ask anything between $15000-$20000 for design+implementation on this scale. Could be a lot more if there's much backend coding involved.

I can say that the current alpha is valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional

For a design like that, I'd say somewhere around the 1k to 5k range. 15k to 20k is a bit much for a page like that.
