No Doubt Australia has been running since February 2005. I originally started the site out of frustration for lack of information and photos from the No Doubt’s past Australian tours and I wanted to build an archive and a site dedicated to Australian ND fans. The site was originally hosted on Tripod, and with the support of fans ignoring the millions of pop-ups and advertisements (haha) it grew into much more.
No Doubt Australia now updates regularly with both local and international news, with fans visiting from all over the globe.
Past Layouts
Version: 1.0
Online: February 2005-December 2006
Programs: Site builder on Tripod
Fonts: Arial
Comments: The only reason I was stuck with the hideous Tripod site for so long was because I had no idea about html or building a website. Luckily I got to learn as part of my course! I can’t believe fans put up with all the pop ups for so long.
Version: 2.0
Online: December 2006-May 2008
Programs: Illustrator CS2, Photoshop CS2, Dreamweaver, Go Live
Fonts: Futura, Geneva, my own design
Comments: Some people may recognize this design from the old No Doubt site back in 2000, but alot nicer. Return Of Saturn is my favourite ND era so I decided to resurrect the design while putting a bit of my own spin on it. The Return Of Saturn styled text I designed in Illustrator (based off the font Dungeon). I’m quite happy with how this came out, maybe one day I’ll bring it back again.
Version: 3.0
Online: June 2008-current
Programs: Illustrator CS3, Photoshop CS3, Dreamweaver, Wordpress
Fonts: Geneva, Old English
Comments: The ROS layout was starting to fall apart at the seams but I couldn’t remember out how to code a new layout, so we got stuck with the old one longer than I had planned. Luckily Christina from NxD Scrapbook came to my rescue and helped me build a site powered by Wordpress!
