Ladies and gentlemen, for your consideration (and viewing pleasure), I give you, Design Kingdom v2.
For over 2 years, we've experimented with different platforms, different update methods, different ideas, twice the site had to be taken offline because it just wasn't working. When you have a passion for excellence, pleasing yourself can be the most difficult thing.
We finally decided that trying to build a system from scratch was going to take way too long and cost way too much. So we settled on the functionality of Joomla!, and got a very decent template from JoomlArt. It is a start, and the only way is up.
On top of the articles, tutorials and features, Design Kingdom has support for:
- User registration
- Discussion Forums
- Community connections
- Portfolio / Showcase galleries
So, now that we have about 85% of the technical aspects out of the way, we're focusing on content.
We're working around the clock to profile talented Ugandan artists, we're scouring the internet for interesting and relevant design tutorials, we're looking for and writing articles to help designers start their own businesses, but most of all, our biggest moment will be the day we see the community grow and thrive and interact with each other, both online and offline.
Right now, most of the content is from other websites, but we believe with time, we will get tutorials and articles that are home-grown and make Design Kingdom truly local.
So, for now, welcome to Design Kingdom, take a look around, signup, join the forums, submit interesting articles, showcase your work... and become the designer you were born to be!
We look forward to interacting with you.
The Design Kingdom Team
