Front Page UI Design Contest?

Should we have a contest on the front page UI design?

Honestly been thinking about how to upgrade this site and though if we had a concept on how the front page should be designed, we could end up with a nice looking front page that could actually draw new users in.

Also I know this is asking alot but Cheat sorry if i am increasing your workload for this site. Just though a new Front Page would make this site more appealing for newcomers and onlookers.

No need, its getting redesigned by Isara anyways.

Isara is working on a redesign, and I have been considering the new look for the front page as well. If I have my way we will have a large top stories/events fader and a side list for accepted news stories, with other widgets and block space for the growing community.

Expect the forum index list to be moved to another page.

Anyway i must give my thanks to Isara.

If you're on a mobile device, the list will be on something similar to my website's menu (view on a phone, duh).

No need for a contest as the development of the new design is open for input by any member. I'll soon post more updates relevant to the home page of Sep7agon, too. You can check out the thread, and share feedback. Also, what I am working on is similar to Cheat's idea, but I don't want to be technical at this stage since anything is possible. (And Cheat, mostly thinks in a technical manner when it comes to design)
