Homeboy’s New Design – Taking A Step Towards Professional Service

You might have noticed that Homeboy looks different than a couple of days ago. We changed the WordPress theme to a better functioning and scalable premium theme. Our new theme is provided by a web design studio. With this new theme we are looking for higher usability as we can now organize the elements of the site in a much better way. We now have good places for important widgets, such as Recent Comments, Weekly Video, Banner Ads, RSS and Email Subscriptions, Recommended Sites and Blogroll. We also prefer providing full articles on the front page which is not common in magazine type themes. That’s why Homeboy does not look like an online magazine but a traditional blog.

We are very satisfied with this new design, but how about you? Please leave a comment and tell us which one you prefer; the new or the old design? Meanwhile, check this clip. It’s called Teddy Bear Crisis. Note the bad crash in the beginning of the clip. Tanner Hall gets badly injured, but survives. The rest of the video is really good new school skiing.

If you want to see more DVD clips and reviews check out for example our review of the First Descent.

Marko Pyhajarvi
I am an old-school alpine skier, snowboarder and telemarker, and I love writing. Therefore I founded Homeboy. I (too) enjoy powder, mountaineering and backcountry skiing as well as photographing. Nowadays, as an old fart, I mostly ski with my kids and focus on financing their hobbies.

  1. I like the new design, it’s much better. All you need is a logo or a rad skiing pic in the header :)


  2. Thanks! Nice to hear you like it. As I said in the post above, this is a step forward, which means one day this blog will have a stunning unique theme :)
