Website design discussion

[Hot Trout]

I am totally open to a new image and logo. Maybe we should actually try and create a logo that can be reused everywhere. It would need to be smaller and take up less space than the old one. Take a look also at the banners that were created by past members for some guidelines.

I always liked the 5th one down. It looked the most professional.

What design specific requirements are there for the ads? Do they (all?) need to have specific dimensions, and do they have to be located at a specific location on the page?

Best regards,

Stijn

I have not thought through how I could change the adverts. At present we use a banner (top and bottom), a box add normally in the middle and a few skyscrapers. If the new layout resulted in more people donating we could afford to drop some of the adverts but it is venturing into the unknown a bit.

Hi lads,

Been busy for some hours yesterday evening. First design I came up with (working):











Oh, it's also HTML5 compliant. Also for other, older browsers

I like this design a lot, but those floating boxes need to be re-done, it looks a lot like something freewebs has to offer in their generic area... >.>'

What's freewebs?

[Kherr]

www.webs.com (they changed from freewebs...) it's a free website hosting company that gives just about anyone who wants to own a site the ability to manage and maintain a site without having to know anything at all...

http://www.freewebs.com/cosDracosdoomwadcenter/ is one of my sites there...
http://www.freewebs.com/clandraconicalliance/ is my clan page...
http://www.freewebs.com/psxdoom/ was another one I made because I was converting the psx doom to pc... but someone beat me to it and I never took the site down. :3

Wow, you got some sites as well

I'm thinking about how to remodel the middle floating boxes. I think it's what gives the page it's modern look. But I agree with you that it's something you see more often (though that may just be a good thing).

Cheers

Hi lads,

Been very busy with the arcade cabinet lately, so the new design is a little on a (translated from dutch) "low fire".

Patience is a bless!

The logo will almost certainly need to be a lot smaller. Show me some ideas and I will consider them.
