The Evolution of Club Josh






Club Josh as it premiered on the Internet
June 28, 1995




Club Josh with a new background image as well as a nice new large photo of Josh on Montara Beach. By this time, the site had introduced the concept of "sub pages" instead of just one looooooong page.
Fall 1996 to March 1997




The first version of Club Josh with a left nav appears
March-May 1997




First site with white background and images for the links
May-October 1997




Small change so that color on the images appeared using a new command called "mouseover"
October-December 1997




This is Club Josh temporarily gussied
up for the Holiday Season for the first and last time
Dec 1997 - Feb 1998




Club Josh featuring a classic Josh pic from 1976
This was the first use of the same design with swapping out a photo
Feb-June 1998




Image links were on the way out and you can tell by the lining up of the images in a list format. This was also the first appearance of the multicolor Club Josh logo
June 1998 - April 1999



Club Josh with minimal graphics and text links. There were several pictures in the spot since the Tomorrowland graphic, including a picture of me with a BMW Z8 picture.
April 1999 - October 2000




Slight change in color and addition of Daily Update . New Picture format led to high hopes for a greater rotation of pic. Also Daily Update addition was the first time home page had new content on a regular basis.
October 2000 - September 2001




It shows how much I have liked this design considering parts of it are being used today. I really settled on a layout I liked that contained all the elements I was looking for in a home page. Big additions: thumbnails highlight the different sections of site, What's New content to homepage, and a slight logo change (removed the underline).
September 2001 - June 2005




White is the new yellow. Mid 00's, I decided that I needed something more bloggish and modern, so I removed most of the color from the home page, but made the masthead a HUGE photo. This finally killed the quick rotation of photos which never panned out. This design started out as a center alignment then moved to a left alignment in its last two years (but with no other code changes). This also introduced a new signature Club Josh logo.
June 28, 2005 - June 30, 2009
Longest Running Design!




This design took awhile to get going. I knew what I wanted for a long time (it is actually a good 2008 design launched in 2009). This site is the first designed for 1024x768, contains a much larger graphic and now for the first time TWO dynamic content sections - The Daily Update and now a Twitter feed. Also, the background is now grey and the elements float in white rounded boxes.
June 30, 2009 - present
