Stu-Art Website in construction

kweitzel

well done ... the light blues make a site a bit cold ... go for some warmer colors.

What I usually do is, I take a picture adjust the color balance (with gimp) and then pick some colors out of there to create a colorscheme. That is also, what I have done on my site www.weitzel.info/nethome ... Base is a Picture of my wife and me, let the GIMP-Script "old photograph" run over it and then picked the colors ...

Another way, which my sister always takes is: http://www.strangebanana.com/generator.aspx and hit reload untill you find a design you like ... :-)

cheers

Hi,

My family and personal website.  I haven't decide yet how to divide it up between the family part and my play side without having to create another WB site...which is hard to keep up-to-date.

The template is a hacked version of Plain from OSWD but I wanted it full screen as I use all different monitors and also use my Plasma TV to view the page. Why have a 1280x1024 screen or better and view the page as 768 pixels wide?

  • I borrowed the Hover menu from css hover
  • I put a page switch in the template so the menu does not display when viewing the Photo gallery
  •   The News module has been customized to look more like a blog
  •   I am using the flickr module which is nice but as my host provider allow 12gb of free space I probably won't use it much, the free version only allows 20Mb
  •   I hacked Pickle to shrink its height and view full screen (and will hack it further or take the best of GDPics and Pickle and combine them)

Let me know what you think...I am still not sure about the colours!!

My first attempt at creating a WebsiteBaker site. My darts team page.

Stu... :evil:
PS: I really like Website baker, its just what I want.  I used to manually create website templates and edit them with frontpg/macromedia and this is a whole lot easier!!
