**drewski** · Sep 6th, 2001, 08:59 PM

hey people you see my website down there that hasn't been updated in ages? well, i'm gonna update it soon but i want to know what you guys all would like improved on it such as new graphics, more updates

, maybe more screen shots, more code (which i do have some by the way). i've made good progress on my game lately and i thought it would be good to update the site since i have all of this new stuff.

... the thread title is supposed to have "opinions" instead of "opions" sorry

**Devion** · Sep 7th, 2001, 01:57 AM

a nice graphical 'dress' would be nice on the site.

**drewski** · Sep 8th, 2001, 04:10 PM

what do you mean by "graphical dress"?

**Devion** · Sep 8th, 2001, 07:49 PM

take a look at http://www.clanpoint.net/secret/news.php and then you look at your own site, whats missing on yours is what you can call a 'dress' in other words... your site lacks eye candy =)

**drewski** · Sep 9th, 2001, 05:19 PM

yeah i see what you mean. you know how much work that is?! for me that is. i'm look for a somewhat more simple site. but i'll keep what you said in mind

**Devion** · Sep 9th, 2001, 05:29 PM

If you want, I can make a site for ya (4 free

just mail me if u want that and/or have any other question.. ([email protected])

**drewski** · Sep 9th, 2001, 06:17 PM

nah, i'd rather make the website by myself. then i could call it "my own". but out of curiosity what did you make your website with? did you use strait notepad (that's what I did) or are you using something else?

**Sastraxi** · Sep 9th, 2001, 09:55 PM

If you're looking for a simple site you can't beat the bottom-and-top of the page nav bars (not frames though!)... What I mean is having your page look somewhat like this:

Code:

ADT's Visual Basic (little banner-thing)

Hi Welcome to my site
News Items for this week

Sept. 9th
Hi my site is up!!!

news | code | links | contact | projects | downloads

Of course, it looks way off there, but with the general idea you could go far... or I could give you the source for a menu system, you can see the one I did (all my code btw) at http://times.of.war.tripod.com/

It's at the top, gold, can't miss it...

Anyways if you really want to make it your own try messing with the first idea... and remember get out of frames...

Ah and for refrence I use notepad.

**drewski** · Sep 9th, 2001, 11:07 PM

that's a little too simple don't you think Sastraxi? i mean the current format and type of my site is pretty simple.

**Devion** · Sep 10th, 2001, 11:31 AM

My site is completely Notepad (Version 5.1 2600 a.k.a. XP

and Photoshop ofcourse for anything graphical

There are no frames just a lot of tables

**Sastraxi** · Sep 10th, 2001, 04:21 PM

Tables're nice too... though stay away from all-flash pages! They suck, and they're nice & slow.

drewski - "that's a little too simple don't you think Sastraxi? i mean the current format and type of my site is pretty simple."

What do you mean by that...?

DaoK · Sep 10th, 2001, 04:39 PM

drewski you should change your right side menu it to much simple and don't use geocities ( who have a gay banner ) but thing like topcities.com or liquid2k.com who DONT have any banner

**Sastraxi** · Sep 10th, 2001, 06:48 PM

There was some absolutely HUGE reason that topcities is a problem, I can't remember for the life of me though.

**drewski** · Sep 10th, 2001, 11:22 PM

what do you mean what do i mean by that?

i meant what i said. are you saying that my left colum on my webisite is compilcated?!

weren't you talking about plain text bars (or graphics which arent hard) at the bottom and top page? that seems over simple. i had a site like that once. it wasn't even half of what my current one is now.

also what about a problem at topcities.com? i checked it out and it seemed pretty good but if there's a problem i would like to know about it before i move my website there.

thanks a ton for the input guys.

**PsychoMark** · Sep 11th, 2001, 02:19 AM

To Sastraxi:

The menu looks good, but you should preload the images, it's just that most people don't want to wait to see a nice gradient

To drewski:

Aaaah!! My eyes!!!

Well, sorry, but there's no way to explain it better: the bright blue and red on the black background really hurts my eyes, it's not a page you can read while relaxing...

Get a nice color scheme, 2 or 3 main colors which don't vary too much, not too much flash or bs like that, everyone can make fancy pages, but they're just annoying

**Sastraxi** · Sep 11th, 2001, 02:53 PM

Doesn't happen on any other computer, maybe you didnt wait for the page to load >=P

DaoK · Sep 11th, 2001, 06:46 PM

There was some absolutely HUGE reason that topcities is a problem, I can't remember for the life of me though.

I use topcities only to store some zip and exe because Liquid2k won't let me upload zip and exe. For moment I never got any problem.

**drewski** · Sep 12th, 2001, 01:08 AM

you dont like my current colors? who else doesn't like them? does anyone have any good suggestions?

hey phycomark what do you think of a website with a color scheme to go along with this?

**PsychoMark** · Sep 12th, 2001, 01:57 AM

Yeah, like the red cross in the white page (or: the image won't show

)

To sastraxi: maybe it has something to do with XenoBar (which disables popups and stuff)...

[edit]

weird, if I open the geocities gfx folder the image does show...

anyways, looks not too bad, maybe change the color of the caption to a slightly darker shade to make it a little more readable... but nice colors anyways!

[/edit]

**drewski** · Sep 12th, 2001, 02:20 AM

it was workin when i posted it. so thanks for the compliment on the button. do you think i should do my whole site with more or less those colors? maybe someone else has some ideas i could experiment with?

**PsychoMark** · Sep 12th, 2001, 02:24 AM

Well, you could for example make a menu bar in those colors, then use something like white or a very bright other color for the background... maybe make something like windows in a similar color scheme to contain the text (not windows as in MS Windows, windows like in any OS with a GUI

)...

Offcourse you can totally disagree with me, I'm not a guru, just another simple human being which knows HTML...

**drewski** · Sep 12th, 2001, 02:25 AM

one more thing guys, should i keep the hover buttons that i have? or get something else

**PsychoMark** · Sep 12th, 2001, 02:27 AM

Hovering gives a nice effect, don't create it so that if someone's using a browser that doesn't support the hovering the whole page doesn't work anymore. Just create it as an extra to those people who do have the latest browser...

**drewski** · Sep 12th, 2001, 02:34 AM

ok i think i can do that. just keep what i have now but just add horizontal menu from that super simple sample that sastraxi so graciously provided

actually i think i'll try to spice it up just a little

anyways, its late where im at and im gonna get some shut eye. i'll start working on the new site tomorrow.
