Title: My site....
Post by: soodanim on January 18, 2006, 10:02:20 PM

Love WebsiteBaker.....

Been having a play....http://www.catswebsolutions.co.nz/projects/demo/

But I feel like a need something else....maybe the colours are too boring....

It's not completely finished...
Theres still images to come and the descriptions....

I think I might have to go with image gallery instead of the slideshows for the collections, but not 100% sure how many images are going to be given for each collection yet.....they keep changing their minds! lol

Hi soodanim,

i like the design. When it comes to galleries, personally I prefer to select what I want to see ... so go with a preview gallery (only my opinion).

another thing,

the footer image (a repeat of the header if I see right ...) makes the first impression a bit less good, since you need to scroll the page to find out, there is nothing else. Either leave it or put it a bit higher, so the page as no scrollbar ...

It look fine nice colors and everything ...

cheers

Klaus

True....what screen resolution are u on....?

I just changed the colour of the footer...daughter thinks it's prettier...lol

I'll get rid of the pearl background on the footer and see what it looks like and try a gallery instead of the slideshow.

Thanks for the comments...  :-D

OK littler now...tho pages with more info on it you will have to scroll of course...but as u say at least there is something to look at when u scroll :)

Cheers for the input :)

for the startpage no scrolling required ... do you actually use a div container all around it? Then you could also center it a bit vertically ... might give it this final touch ... or just put a topmarkin of 25px ... should do.

great ... cheers

uuuuh, nice... well done :-D
but... your images used in the template are BIG, way to big, a *.jpg with 271 kb needs to be downsampled.

there are people with 56 kb out there  :mrgreen:
