Yeah, I'll change those images so they fit the template. By the way, do you happen to know which font is used on those images? I was thinking of a transparent background (or the same colour as the web site's), green font, and a border that's the same colour as the one on the site.

As for MamboHut, correct me if I am wrong, but they offer templates for download only, right? I couldn't find a place where you can only look at the templates, if you know what I mean I just don't want this template available to anyone else. If someone really wants it, nothing can stop him/her from "stealing" it off my web site

Yeah, those look pretty good. I like the way the RSS image fit into the page now.

You might want to do the same thing with the W3C images.

As for the mambohut site, it is only for template submission and download. I thought you might be the kind of person that enjoys the idea of someone else using your work on their website. Some people like to have as many people see their work as possible. Of course I wouldn't submit a template until I changed it enought so that it wasn't the same as my website.

When I get my template finished, I'll make a public version of it to submit. I have some CSS issues in IE. I still need to identify all of the various CSS tags in the Mambo/Joomla core. Then of course, I have to finish the template for SMF so it will blend into the website better.

Am about to do that right now I used the ones supplied by w3.org, but I'm customizing everything now.



The idea is tempting, but there are also some negative points. I would like people saying "Hey! I saw that template on MamboHut and numerous other web sites! You n00b aren't 1337" I put a lot of work into it (a week for a template is a lot to me ), and sharing is not something I like.



Urgh.. That's the most awful thing that can happen to a human being. Internet Explorer misinterprets the margin, padding and border attributes - and probably some others, too. If you need some help, be sure to create a topic at Asta I feel helpful this month

I saw the deviant art link and I have to say that, that is a very nice job well done!

I'm thinking of re-doing mine (again) aswell, it just doesn't quite hit the spot for me.

I really liked your website design. It’s very professional without being boring. The black and white really makes the other colors stand out. Although the test fonts are simple, it emphases the logo font, which is great. The black and white really makes the color photos standout.

Glad you liked it. The simplicity was that main idea

Now I've messed with the colours a bit more, and I need your opinion once again. As you might remember (those of you who have visited before these changes), I have used a green colour for all the links - #8bcc29, to be more specific. However, I didn't like the colour, so decided to switch to a lighter shade of blue. Personally, I think it's better, but what do you say?

There is also one more thing I changed, and again want to know what's your opinion. Before the CSS editing, I used to have a #454545 border around all the images - that's the colour all borders are. But only for images, I changed the border colour to the same shade of blue I used for the links. So, should I switch it back to the overall border colour, or leave it like this?

~edit~

I would also like to add that I've added another tweak to the site. Since the menus were too simple before, I just had to introduce something besides pure text. That's why I've insert a small gray vertical line left of the menu links. It's the thing that turns white when hovered over. What do you think about this?

Also I'm thinking of adding a background image to the center column, only it would be located at the bottom in the center. I don't want it to harden the reading and want it to be simple (something like a tribal tattoo). Any ideas what would be good, yet a bit harder to spot?

Hi,

I'm sure I'm on a well worn path here. I've looked through the forum for answers but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

I'm a newbie, I'm mid 40's, hacked of with bosses, given up 9 to 5, taught myself how to design sites using MS Visual Web Developer (html, asp.net, vb etc) - but I AM VERY MUCH A NEWBIE, and I've started my own freelance company. I've only built one site so far (even my own site is one of those free site builder things you get with your domain name). I'm going to get myself going by building cheapo semi-static stuff for local small businesses, then I'll get into the sql stuff, then make my millions by building my own stuff.

Anyway, my problem is, given that all my initial clients are going to be utterly web illiterate, how can I avoid being tethered to their sites forever in order to perform the info updates they're bound to want? What I would like to be able to offer clients is a hidden page wherein they can login and access an integral CMS and perform content changes without me having to get involved. I'm looking for something that is preferably free, or cheap, but primarily reliable. Is there such a gizmo? and where do I find it?

By the way - hi everybody!

Michael
