After many nights of highs and lows. After many nights of shaking my fist at the sky in anger, and putting drop after drop of visine in my eyes to keep going. After many nights of blood, sweat, and (especially) tears… I give you- THE NEW SITE!
It feels like I’ve given birth. It may not go down in the echelons of web design greatness, nor re-define quantifiable beauty, but its my baby, and it’s precious to me :)
I hope you enjoy the new look and feel. Hopefully things will run quicker, and you can find what you want a bit easier. I’ll still keep working on the blog section, and numerous other nips and tucks here and there, but for the most part, phase 1 is officially complete. I believe a “w00t” is in order.
Of course, there may be some bugs here and there, or things might not be rendering as they should and I missed it. If that’s the case please let us know, and we’ll fix it asap. Phase 2 officially begins, as I investigate eCommerce and attempt to get a bone fide store up with more than just some pdfs for sale. Then the fun really begins! ;)
I know I’ve said it 1000 times already, but thanks for putting up with slower loading times etc while we hashed this out. We hope you like the new design. Enjoy!

Love the new design! It was a really good idea to make the header banner on the subpages smaller. I think that helps when readers are going through the archives.
Did the comic pages get slightly bigger too? The text seems easier to read.
I’m looking forward to what you do with the store! :)
woot woot! i think the wait was definately worth it! the site looks awesome!! as always the comic continues to get better and better :) can’t wait to see what happens next!
The new layout is Amazing. When the site came up my jaw dropped, simply beautiful!
I’ve never commented before, but I have to say the Dreamer is one of my favorite online comics. the story is fantastic and your artwork is beautiful. I’m really looking forward to seeing what happens next!
Woot! :D This looks great, Lora! Really amazing! While I should be going to sleep I plan to be poking around your site to see any new details that might have been addedin. Love it!!!
i love the new layout for the site!!! Beautiful. :D So excited for the next update.
Well I believe a “w00t w00t” is in order. … ;)
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I adore the new layout!! Seriously, awesome job XD
Thank you Mike! The new layout is wonderful. Its nice and easy on the eyes too.
This loads like greased lightning. You are amazing. But you already know that I think that. <3 !!
It looks great, Mike! We appreciate all your bloody sweaty tears…oh, wait, did I read that wrong? Hmm… Anyway, thanks!
Simply gorgeous and well worth all of your hard work. It looks very professional and beautiful at the same time! :) Just great.
Oh I knew it! XD This looks simply amazing Mike! An excellent job!
Mike people are saying things about the old RSS Feed not working. I think it moved because the blog is no longer on the front page. I’m leaving you a note here so I don’t forget to tell you.
Huzzah for Mike!
Mike, this is just freakin’ AWESOME brother! I bow to the master!
Awesome! Great job! :-))
OMG the place looks great!! Go Mike!!!!
i said it once and I’ll say it again Mike you rock!! The site is amazing!! I have a quick question though, how many acts will there be? i know were moving on to volume 8 but will there be more acts as well?? Thanks! :)
Hey, Caitlin: There are three Acts. We’re about half way through Act 1 right now.
Everyone else, you’re right: Mike is amazing! He likes to hide out around here where you don’t notice him, but without him, The Dreamer would be pretty lame. I mean that with all my heart. He really is the guy that makes this possible. Updates would be sporadic at best without him, and you’d all be reading The Dreamer over at Drunk Duck. Three Cheers for Mike: Hip, Hip, Huzzah!
Mike, I think it looks great! I usually follow over at DD, so I didn’t know you had this going on, and I was delighted at the new look when I popped by. Congrats on a job well done!
p.s. Mike, who’s that hottie on your desktop? XP
Ooo, I love the new site! =DD
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL!
Kudos to you Mike!
I think Mike deserves a cookie. Or maybe a whole platter of them! The new look is fantastic, beautiful, and absolutely perfect.
Looks fantastic! Great job! :D
thanks lora! looking forward to the next update! :D
It looks FANTASTIC!
I opened the page in my browser and thought “Whoa.”
Great work, Mike, it’s an amazing representation of the goodness that is The Dreamer!
WHOA!!!!
Okay, I loveloveLOVE the new design! Much like Catiris, I opened the page and my first thought was….well, basically what I wrote on the first line. I don’t think I’m going to be getting that banner out of my head for at least the next nine hours! :) Good job, I say!
*second comment*
Also, the way the character page works is fricking awesome. I love it.
The site is gorgeous! Good job, Mike. :3
Aww shucks, thanks everyone! :) Your positive feedback has made my week!
Oh WOW!!!!!!
This site looks AWESOME!! It looked cool before, but this just rocks. Thank you Mike and Lora for working so hard to make something this great!!
And what you said is true, this is indeed in order.
“WOOT”.
=D
:] Yes, the new website layout is AWESOMETASTIC. Though I must admit, I will miss seeing Alan’s gorgeous blue eyes at the top of the page. xD
It looks AWESOME!!!! :D
