Building a Better Website Day #2

I built my website Comic Book News several years ago as an experiment in search engine optimization.  I never really had a plan to grow it like it did… I simply patched new functionality ontop of what I built originally. 

Now that the site ranks #2 in Google under "Comic Book News", I thought it was time to really take a methodical approach to rebuilding the site.  I looked at rebuilding the site with an open source tool, but I have a lot finer control over the site if I build it myself – specifically for search engine optimization. 

I have a rough draft of the design – it’s going  to be pretty utilitarian, since the comic images themselves will add a lot to the site, but I still need to work on a new logo.

I’m also currently working on the updated navigation for the site.  I’m currently looking at using Spry Assets.
