electrathon Report post Posted November 19, 2009 Depends on what you are going to have on the site. I personally think it looks like a video game site. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8thsinner Report post Posted November 19, 2009 Is anyone here skilled with website development. I have started trying to work on removing what I don't want from the template but really, it's gonna take me weeks to try and catch up. If someone has a bit of skill, theres only a few things I want done different, and taken out. Please help Heres my main goal Increase number of tabs along the top, CHange the log in section to a logo section, Get rid of the logo bit completely and move everything else up, Thats mainly it, I can copy pages from that and should be able to add links and stuff from there. It doesn't seem like much but as was pointed out some people are much better at certain things... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dickf Report post Posted November 19, 2009 I'll bite... It's dated, it relies heavily on images, it's markup is technically valid but it uses tables for design (they're for tabular data, dammitt!!!) and inline javascript for simple things like rollovers, which is considered sloppy and bad practice. I would ditch it and find something a little more modular since you don't know exactly what you want to offer to your visitors. You might try Wordpress or something like that - it would be easier for you to add/edit/remove content since you don't know xhtml, and it's produces some relatively clean code in case you wanted to learn. Alternately, you could hire a designer+developer to write something for you, but since you're looking at templates, I guess you're budget is on the slim side. That template looks like it's circa 1994 for a web design company - not a portfolio/blog/shop site. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8thsinner Report post Posted November 19, 2009 Well, I will be in league with a website designer friend to clean things up and do a few things, but I want to be able to go to them with a working prototype first, that at least looks the way I want it to. Thanks though, I will have a look around to see what else I might like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
