Author Topic: Need ideas for website and it's design  (Read 875 times)

I need some ideas on what to put on it, and designs I should pursue for it.
it looks ugly because i've only spent like 10 minutes on it and i had no ideas on what would look good
also if you notice some weird stuff like the text going outside the box, it's because this hosting website takes ages for me to make changes

the corners of that center bit shouldn't be so rounded

remove the comrade and just put friend, otherwise it looks great

the corners of that center bit shouldn't be so rounded
ok i'll tone it down a bit
remove the comrade and just put friend, otherwise it looks great
ok

remove the comrade and just put friend, otherwise it looks great
no, don't put friend either. just say "Hi!"
and leave "Here I'm going to test out my website designing skills, and hope all goes well! Enjoy!" out

edit: problems


also, did you make the images at the top and in the background?
if not, you should provide a source somewhere

ALSO
oh my god

it's 2015. this is what CSS is for

all issues fixed, right now i'm just experimenting so thats why i'm using egyptian-age code
the little box there should now expand automatically according to the amount of text inside of it

it's 2015. this is what CSS is for


It's easier if you just do it right from the start



this hosting website takes ages for me to make changes
just make a .html file on your local computer and open that with your browser
No need to upload it unless you have server-side scripts'



Also your deviantart credit link is wrong; you pasted a "more like this" link instead of the actual submission

some of the requirements for the "sticky footer" stuff ended up giving the page some extra height, which I couldn't seem to get rid of, so instead I just gave it a smaller, prettier scroll bar since it was gonna be there anyway
also, a 4000x4000 pixel background image is absurd

you can choose to ignore all of this, keep it and build on it yourself, or just pick what you want out of it, I honestly don't really care
I might reconsider the color of the welcome text. I kind of like it that color, but I also liked it white, so idk. and there should be a little more space between it and the image, but I didn't think about it before taking the screenshot and at that point I wasn't willing to put in the effort to change it and take another screenshot

and here's your background image, in a more reasonable 1000x1000 pixels

edit: I forgot for a second. this is just my personal opinion, and if you really wanna keep it your way go ahead, but I think capital letters in URLs are incredibly ugly. so I changed the capital "I" in the two image links you had to a lowercase one
your options would be to either A: change the links back
or B: assuming it's hosted on a linux server (it probably is), change the name of the folder the images are in to a lowercase i and keep the links like I have them

edit again: I just noticed this, in the thread title, "it's" should be "its"
