Hi there,
I’ve received a few advice about our site over inside " How’s the site" forum, and I’ve determined that now My goal is to totally start again with my style. As well to be a new design, I’m also intending to change your technical backend associated with my site and write a kind of CMS.
In any case, I have created a fresh navbar (see website link in sig) and a new logo (attached). Any comments in these and suggestions on the design would always be welcome.
dude oh man. the following we go again! That other thread of yours had been pretty big!: common: Good luck with the rewrite! Ill post the useful comments sooner or later….
hmm this logo is really decent; theres nothing really wrong by using it. As for your nav.. it demands some work. It seems as if you used Xara or another program to make it (no offense). Another thing is the fact that bevels are one of the abbused affects people used in webdesign (along area gradients). Bevels in proportion(sp) seems ok but an excess of can completly ruin an online site design or in this case its navigation. I recomend anyone design the navigation on the website itself instead of simply making all of them seperate and hoping that they will go excellent together. Hope most of that helps!
Yes, I used Xara Webstyle to produce the nav. What’s wrong along with bevels And have you any other ideas Bear in mind that I can’t sketch!
I think when you begin designing the website you’ll want to identify what type of layout you’re looking for. By the looks of one’s current one It is all very content towards right, navigation on the left, so Perhaps it is time to Combination it up a bit.
Im thinking title through the top, perhaps links under it in the line outrageous. Then content directly below this. Giving a good overall simplistic, but simple to operate design. Dunno what you are affected by that but nonetheless, the user may have to scroll all methods to the top to find out links in case you have large amounts of text within the page. Although there dosn’t are most often much content now, its best to believe of the long run.
Personally I rather such as links on the particular left, like We have got it currently. Although links through the top could work also.
Hehe, properly, let’s hope this thread issue more productive approach last one. I’d say to learn it in the basics and upwards, and forget related to CMS just still (I would) – if you cannot do a outstanding layout, then a CMS is really a bit overkill. Merely, it is… Even I can’t do a proper CMS yet (going at this time there though)!
And so… Let’s forget within the navigation just today… Just create your design draft within your graphics program of preference. Read about HTML, XHTML, and CSS in addition to do many many exercises by using it. Then export your current layout (if you still want it) for you to HTML and start performing it.
Perhaps jumping ahead a bit here, but do you find it better to write many new code in XHTML
I might say so… More suitable for screen readers, self-phones and also other portable media!
There is only a modest difference. No a lot more fonts or framesets, no tables for structure. Then always conclude your tags with /> or < /br> (this the first is not common). Embed a doctype, add an attribute on the html tag and also validate your html which has a validator, then verify the css…
Received more about just what exactly the difference is on my web site under " start out web design", where I also received links.
Doesn’t sound too hard does it
This indicates that my coding form is fairly nearly XHTML already — should make the transition easier.
Will increase questions – if you will discover no tables for layout, then learn how to do the array And how usually are frames created (just from curiosity – I wouldn’t dream of using them! )
You are doing layouts via CSS and layers. The stuff upon my site continues on from" moving to xhtml" to " making a css layout", so just please read on. Therealso are many tutorials online.
There are also some good CSS tuts less than the tutorials section on this site.
Thanks – BTW I think we have a bug in your website. If you haven’t so much already seen the item you should take a look. Its in this rollovers: the headings appear inside wrong places when i roll over the actual links. (Mozilla YOU. 6, Linux)
To my site… After you say " layout", are you experiencing any suggestions concerning what might work with my site
I’d love to see some screenshots coming from Mozilla in Linux… Haven’t much got the method myself. I’m messing around with IE today, and the padding seems to have increased somehow throughout IE, from several strange reason, but I put flood: hidden; and now them only look really bad instead of overwhelming bad..
On the other hand, there shouldn’t be any problems with Mozilla. As I said – might you send me a new screenshot
To get a programming site I’d aim to put some code snippets to be a header (partially transparent) or have a site name with something associated with programming.
I’d get a colour complementary design and style, mostly since you will discover so few encoding sites with such type of scheme.
Something I’ve been thinking some about is often a bent line, perhaps 30 degrees on the whole, evenly curved, the location where the links (4-5 links) will be placed _on_ this line – to be a navigation that will be. Then to contain the header adjacent to this navigation, on the correct of it, and put quite a few image there (the header could then be both equally nav and graphic and over 175 px high) which often suits the rest of the layout on your site. A talented scetch connected with whatever would appearance very nice, and would be a nice departure in the ‘norm’ as they say.
Then in case you have sub menues, just place the under the header along with update them (fix colours of showing active page) by means of either ASP. Net C#/VB or perhaps PHP depending on which kind of coding you’re straight into.
There are plenty of many types of designs, and of study course a flash style would also work great – let my family remind you you can dynamically load XML via Flash without resorting to server-scripting which is a very good feature (although flash layouts I discover harder to create).
That’s one of thousands of ideas. It’s really around you. Let your creativity do the project.

Are you wanting a screenshot in the problem, or of what the website looks like typically BTW. I tried your website in Konqueror also and it functions fine.
Of which sounds interesting… not totally sure just what exact
