We’ve been quietly introducing some changes to the look and feel of Singletracks over the past few weeks and it’s time to show you what we’ve done (if you haven’t already noticed). The idea is to make the site easier to use and to give it a 2007 look and feel. Some of the big changes:

State pages This page is actually called database.php and it looked like more like a computer database than a listing of rad mountain bike trails. Before and after:

Before After

Trails page This is actually our most visited page and we wanted to take advantage of a wider page aspect ratio. Trail photo thumbnails are now in the flow of the page and spiffy new icons highlight trail actions on the left:

Finally, the trail photo pages got a makeover to take advantage of photo thumbnails. Photos are now ordered by rating so you see the best photos first and you can preview before you click:

Anyway, stay tuned for more changes to make singletracks an even better mountain biking resource. As always, comments are welcome…
