Title: So websites are art - are they? Well then...
Post by: Fineus on September 17, 2003, 04:36:18 pm
Allow me to make my contribution to the art :)

Yep, City of Light - rebadged and all that gubbins. Not anywhere near done, but the graphics are apparent enough here.

Thoughts? ;7

It's missing something. Hmmm...

I suggest with most sites nowadays to limit the width - set it, actually - to an 800-pixel wide display. Otherwise, what would be a nice paragraph becoems what you have here - long single lines of text.

It's also easier on both the designer and the eyes to have a limited-width site + design.

Done, I'm going to do a little experimenting with it though :)

Wow, you actually can make a website. /thunder

Heh, It's simple, but I like it. Simplicity is sometimes best. :yes:

That's what I was going for, it's going to have a lot of renders and stuff on there, so I wanted load times at a minimum.

And thanks!

I like :yes: :yes:

However, it seems a bit sparse. Aswell, the text doesnt fit in too well with the theme (the title text).Very solid start, the final product should look very nice.

If you want it to be compatible with 800x600, the width can't be over 760 pixels I think.

the navigation on the left is simple... i like it, but don't you think you could perhaps go with something new?  like rollover javascript buttons even? :ick

ok, not that, but other stuff :D

you're making use of CSS, right :)

Oh yeah, The Atom Foundation, eh? Hmm.... to make the rest of the page fit with that, you should have the text at most 1 pixel high. :D

I will be (and have since version 2 of this kind of websites.. this is version 5).

Glad people like it, but I'm happy for suggestions... I want to keep it simple, I'm making it not just for me this time but for my friends as well so that they can send me stuff and see it put up etc (at least that's the plan). I wanted to keep it simple for those very reasons. Any suggestions on that?
