Web Safe Colors

Posted on November 25, 2012 by admin572 views

What are the dangers of employing colors for web site design that arent ‘Web Safe’ Does it have to do with browsers I am talking about, do only old browsers must have colors that usually are ‘web safe’. Am I spending my time getting web safe colors to fit my site when it only benefits an extremely small percentage regarding people Furthermore, if I try a cholor scheme thats possibly not ‘web safe’ so how exactly does it appear with browsers that dont see made from correctly There’s no doubt that the ‘web-safe’ shapes and colours idea was created when some monitors only had that capability to show 256 colours. Given that most screens resolution can cope with 24-bit or more significant, I for one don’t follow the websafe principles. there are 216 web-safe colorations.. they were named that way because at lowest those common colors could be represented somewhat accuratly no matter what browser, monitor, THE GW990, etc.. your users viewing your website page are using. The one effect that would happen is all colors that are not websafe would display as a different color, generally the closest website safe color. People rules dont really apply much anymore.. i … Continue reading →

Layouts help

Posted on November 16, 2012 by admin533 views

Ok since I will be not too very pleased with my current site I’ve decided to produce a new layout for this. So which from the two layouts I’ve so far has the best potential and how can i make it better for just a personal website If neither are good then what will i do to come up with a better layout all in all. http: //calibur. i6networks. com/layout1. png http: //calibur. i6networks. com/layout2. png Neither of them. Sorry. These kind of aren’t layouts, just sketches made within photoshop… Work on it more, that’s my idea. Get your ideas down in some recoverable format first… all sites is the same to many extent, in terms of these just columnms and/or content material blocks arranged in different ways. Avoid using over elaborate present fonts for navigation items, for one it is possible to only read these folks at large sizes, as a consequence you waste much space in goal. Plainly was to endeavor to create a website that takes the from on the poster but still has the same website functions just how would I do that without having it the load in place take forever I only request this … Continue reading →

I wanted to find out what are typical web fonts that people can use to ensure everyone can find them…. Also what are most popular fonts to use, best looking etc Will be font that is needed here at WDF I always desired to find this out there. heheheh the font used here’s Trebuchet MS i recently found this though searching google… it may help – http: //www. accordmarketing. com/tid/archive/websafefonts. html document useful url, bookmarked. Nice! An outstanding article, Karianne, thanks. So to jbagley: this article and this thread (so far) talk about system fonts, and you could program them with your styles (note in which in html you may as well describe a font because " serif" or " sans serif" ). Although, when it reaches graphics, you have even more options to select. Similar rules of shapes are applicable in your graphics. It really varies according to the mood of the site you tend to be creatign. Typography can be a huge field! Some fonts I know people like to get graphics / nav night clubs… Sans serif… Futura, Gill Sans, Multitude, Tahoma. Serif… U . s citizens Typewriter, Garamond, Bookman Old Style.

New site

Posted on September 27, 2012 by admin541 views

Hi, I’m working away at an update involving my school house website and required your opinions at how it appearance, the house coloration is pink — hence the shapes and colours used! I also want some advice on which fonts would look great, thanks beforehand, Solidgold look it over Im not a huge fan. I’d personally possibly go with a solid grey background as opposed to more stripes. As well, there is a black circle in the middle of the text spot in Firefox. Caring I just seen, is that this page scrolls if it doesnt really need to, and there is definitely no border for the top of the underside pink section, which i think would make the website look a tiny better, since the good news is border on the most notable pink section. It does not align properly with Firefox, and there may be horizontal and directory scrolling for no reason. As well, having stripes likely one direction with the top and bottom on the page, and stripes opting another at the center, is a bit of a distraction. Make this solid. It’s like seeing a magic eye on a carousel. You seriously should find out CSS … Continue reading →

i posted an analogous question, but… topic switcher, basic launch, new page founder, built in seek out, xml output, logger, postal mail script for speak to. what else could you put in a new cms. Will depend on what industry the CMS is designed for. Product search might be an option. Anti-spam mechanism for the contact form. Sales/order tracker it’s possible. Probably a blog/forum startup. i use a captcha i built with php-gd, so let me be adding that towards the contact. still not sure on an easy way for generic implemenation associated with it though. article vs javascript div in the event page, _blank or parent implementing the blog in addition to search today. sales tracker is an add about script. i hope to let with this how to customize that can not be done with other CMSs with the addition of scripts and working with a standard framework and also folder system. you may add tools towards the the dashboard with the addition of a folder using the name of this folder populating that link text in the dashboard, a required navigation script with all the same name since the folder-in the folder, requires an intro. txt plus … Continue reading →

Hello there all, I will be new to WDF and looking for some advice. I will be currently working with my companies website and still have been tasked coupled with others to produce improvements to that.

Recommendations an old chestnut that I need to know opinions about. As Web designers our bread & butter is being competent to present a client inside best light, but usually focused mainly within the eye-catching and feeling setting visual facets of a site, or in route the content is usually displayed I recognize the mantra is actually " Content is definitely King" but as the entire world becomes a growing number of visually oriented should that still keep true When advertising, games, as well as other factors shorten particular attention spans and make the public less patient together with what it opinions, can a website risk being solely functional In Education particularly there is a lot of subject matter to impart but it must be carefully organised not to ever overwhelm the person and still support the attention. However, will a populace who has grown up together with bright iPhone shapes and colours and gaming design not give even the most beneficial content based-site just cursory attention just before switching to Zynga or a gaming site with a lot of entertaining graphics (I know one particular student in my course 2009 who’s attention was impossible to pay attention to anything … Continue reading →
