Old HTML site moved into WB2.7

[kct-networx]

Hi all,

it was a lot of work to put our Interest-Group Homepage from 1999 into WebsiteBaker.
It was really old HTML stuff, which was written in really out-dated syntax.... 

But now it is done!
I had to edit the template a hundred times, because i want the page to appear as it was before in HTML-only.

I hope you like it!

The website is currently avilable in German only!

Here we go: http://www.kreidler-ig.de or http://kreidler.selfhost.de

Please let me know what you think about it!
I like to hear from you!

Regards,
Markus

Well,

unfortunatelly you have decided to keep the layout from 1999. Hence your site looks very out dated.
Also a lots of markup errors are reported.

Things like counters and spinning email buttons gives the impression that the content on your site is is from the same periode and hence easily considered not to be up to date.Personally I would try one of the templates posted on the addons site. Some of them are really nice.

Hello, on first link I get page on frames: http://www.kreidler-ig.de/ , looks like you didn`t set domain to your server which should be done because when search engine spiders visit your website, they don`t see it.

I don`t really care how website look like if I understand how to navigate on it and I find there information about what I`m looking for.

Thanks for your opinion Christian.

Seems to be still a lot of work to clean up the "markup errors".

I don't know what is more worse for an website about Motorcycle Oldtimer:
The current "out dated" design or one of the top modern templates of WB!

I think a modern style is not the solution for every content, don't you?

Hi Deschek,

you are right!
There is still a frame generatet by http://www.kreidler-ig.de.
Many years ago we ordered this domain from a provider for free.

We try to get the domain back, to manage it on our own.
But as long as the old provider own it, i have no chance to edit it.

The provider has set a static link to our selfhost adress and is using frames   

It is too bad!

I complement you for implementing your old design into a WB template that "oldschool" way.
That's a world premiere!

My original thought was just: "How can I easily create new content without always creating it within damn complicated HTML source code".

And then I finally found a great Tool: WebsiteBaker!!!
I love this CMS!!! Its perfect for my needs!

Well,

basically it is up to you which design you choose. But I do not believe that old motorcyle bikes necessaril require an old fashioned website with anoying rotating gifs and counters. However, just my two cents.

Thats why i posted it.

In fact I was just kiddin'.
But anyway it's quite interesting how capable WB really is 

As Doc told before, I would suggest to think about a new design.
There is no need to have an "oldtimer" Website for Oldtimers.

As you said, the design is from 1999 (almost 10 years old).
I think there is a lot of designs beside the wb templates from the addons-page you can use in order to get some ideas from.

Best regards,
Stefek

P.S. I understand your "love" for WB. We all do

OK, the markup errors are history.

Now the validator says it is clean.

I know you don't like my website-design, but now it's a valid "obnoxious-web-design"....
