Hi everyone,

The next version of AfterHoursExposed is taking shape, and I wanted to share a look at its new visual direction. We're developing a darker, more polished setting for the site, with charcoal backgrounds, warm amber accents and distinctive serif headings.

The preview has a late-night lounge feel, with a simpler arrangement of navigation and a clear place for catalog search. The goal is to make the pages feel considered and comfortable to browse, whether you're looking around on a computer or checking in from your phone.

Work in progress — AfterHoursExposed design preview with placeholder content. Final details may change.

Some of the design details we're developing:

• Dark charcoal styling balanced with warm amber highlights.
• A compact header and a prominent search area.
• Both grid and list layouts in the proposed catalog design.
• Page layouts designed for desktop and smaller screens.

The image is a work-in-progress design preview with placeholder content. The sample cards illustrate the layout, and some details may change as the new version develops.

Thanks to everyone who spends time here. I'm looking forward to sharing more of the new design with members and visitors as it comes together.

Jim
