Great to read this! When I first read the title I feared you were just going to shut down the site completely. Luckily, that was not the case, and the changes make actually a lot of sense.
I like the structure of the website a lot. I would just improve styling here and there:
- Not sure about the main font. It makes it look more like a “crafts” or literature website than something related to contemporary digital arts. Maybe try something sans-serif, or just leave serif font for the body/paragraph text?
- It took me a while to find the search button. I was expecting an icon, or maybe a different location. I think search is an important feature of the website and could be highlighted more, inviting people to discover the immense archive. I love the instant search, BTW!
- The logo, yeah.
As you can see, these are minor suggestions, and in general I’m very happy with this change. Congrats to you and the Pixls team for this achievement! Keep up the good work.
