Elevator_Hazard Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 http://www.autohotkey.net/~Elevator_Hazard...plate1HTML.htmlTell me what you think. Its quite wide but that's because of the css I'm showing that is in it.... Its on an external style sheet and some of the links are long for the images so the template is a bit wide.

vchris Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I think the links are hard to read, no enough colours, almost all solid colours except for your links. Kinda easy to tell that it's been made in 30 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real_illusions Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 yeah..agree with vchris..looks rushed and amatuerish..sorry looks like it was built in less than 30 minutes actually..more like 10.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skemcin Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Why is everyone in such a rush these days. I don't even have to look at it. Can you (or anyone) tell me why it is so apparently impressive to build a website faster than I can type supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?Assuming that you copied and pasted the stylesheet (once you created it) into the body of your page and assuming that you used the standard principle of time of site planning = time of site development, here are my conclusions:You have average typing skills at 61.6 words per minute. This site seems to be nothing more than an experiment yet there are folks who might use it. But I am too conditioned to think that websites are built for a purpose which this one would not be conducive to other than proving that you know a little HTML and CSS and can upload a page to a website.

Jonas Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I agree with the before-said. To few and similar colours. I also browsed your website, and what you have to say on making templates for html pages:http://www.freewebs.com/hazardzone101/html.html Helpful tips:When making a website...Always use a layout/template, it helps so much in organizing your info in the actual code and when you look at it. Be sure that your website is attractive! I don't know what your opinion is on the way my site looks, but I know that it isn't very dull in appearance. And for choosing colors, pay attention to these options:Use either one general color for the theme, varying in shades Use contradicting colors that look nothing alike, but still match, like my colors of neon green, other shades of green, and black. Have movement, maybe not literally, but gradients can help a lot to not make your website not so dull [*]And also, use CSS, its a great way to simply add many special features to your website! I must say I pretty much wholeheartedly disagree with all the points under #3...Using one general colour, or shades, like you have done with the blue site, is not good. You further contradict yourself, saying you should use contradicting (I assume you mean contrasting) colours that look nothing alike and yet match. Neon green and black is not a good combination, as neon green is an extremely bright colour while black is as dark as it gets. It strains the eyes over time. Movement, if you're thinking about stuff like <blink> and <marquee>, is horrible on your website and can actually drive people away from sheer annoyance. And a website shouldn't be aimed at not being dull, it should be aimed at being pleasant and functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ste Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Not much point in posting a template you spent 30 mins on with no doctype or even page title. You shouldnt hurry the process. Good design requires attention to detail. ive seen a few of your designs at this point and i think the major flaw with each has been a poor color palette. ditch the neon colors and try some lighter hues. heres an example of a nice palette: the four colors to the right are monochromatic (tints and shades of a single color & a standard way of forming a complimentry color scheme) and then a pale orange tetradic color livins it up a bit. Its alot easier and pleasing to the eye than neon on black.Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holmedwa04 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Yep, just play around until you get something that you like, you may spend ages but once you have got one, it really pays off, because you can use it on every page of your site!

Sniffy Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Yeah, I always get lazy when doing my sites, and end up just repeating the same colors. On top of that, like I said, I have a poor color choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skemcin Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I just dont like it!Thanks for the post Prateek, but if you are not going to offer any constructive criticism, then don't bother posting (in any thread for that matter). So, please do expand on why you feel this template does not meet your standards. Offer some alternatives to its coding or suggest something that might help its design to be more appealing. Otherwise, bite your tongue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
