Title: First WB Site online!
Post by: mete on November 17, 2007, 04:09:06 PM
Hello,

after playing around with WB for a couple of weeks, we're finally online:

http://www.hannakuzu.de

We wanted to keep it nice and simple, so we went for a modification of the template made/ported  by Andrew Dowellin.

WB as well as Andrew is mentioned on the imprint page:

http://hannakuzu.de/web/pages/impressum.php

The galleries are made with a small script which reads out the pictures and their paths and displays them in a DIV using inline-lists, which was the requirement of the photographer. She did not want any Javascript or such, yet we have nice horizontal scrolling galleries.

There is still a small problem though, with the DOCTYPE remark which I will possibly be correcting soon but for the first go with WB, I think we did pretty well.

Please go visit, click around and tell us what you think.


Thank you.

Mete

EDIT:

- Added a Flash-Video which you can reach via Footer Navigation.
- 20.11.2007: Had to remove the video because of the background music used. GEMA in Germany is pretty tough.

Hi once again,

I am having kinda trouble in understanding how 150 people look at a post about a new baked site and none says something about it, which actually was the only reason for me to post about it here; to know what others think.

So if someone feels like saying "Geez, good work!" or "Yikes, that sucks big time!", please do ;)

Hello,

personally don't like scrollbars. Is there a special reason why you wanna have this? Rest is fine.

Hi Mete,

I am one of those who had a look on the thread and on your site, but didn´t write a line. So i think, you are right. Your remark about gema - ROTFL! But it is a site for an artist. What would she say, if anyone uses her photos...?

Normally I prefer dark fonts on light backgrounds. But here the dark backgrund works fine for the presentation. That´s why many artists use it.

I dont´t like horizontal scrollbars too. In my opinion, a gallery (maybe in flash) would be better.

Best Regards

Uwe

oh this is great!! reading two commands! ;) thank you!

the only reason for the scrollbars is that, she wanted to have it this way and to be frank I had no time to implement some javascript in there, but i might come back to this sometime. unfortunately i don't like flash that much (sure, some galleries are terrific but then again accessibility is so poor).

@Uwe: you are right, she wouldn't like that either, so I removed the video asap but maybe when she finds some new music (or i record some for her) the video might come back again.
