[OBJ] Website - Create Template (closed)

Hyronymus · Post by **Hyronymus** » 09 Aug 2005 11:15

The website group should create a basic template for the TEmpire website, from the specficiations given earlier and in this text, to act as a guide for creating content for the future website. It should have considerations for how PHP will create the page in the future and any images that the site will posess. This objective only covers the design and colour scheme of the site and not any content.

Members: The Master, Steve

If you want to participate in this objective you can post a reply in this topic.

Hi,
i have maked this template for my website, but for me its adaptable for Transport Empire.

I have inserted a logo maked by me, and various text (Copied from original TE site) for example.

The site colors need to change with logo colors, when TE have one.

I'm available for suggestions & support.

Wow, that's very nice

Hyronymus · Post by **Hyronymus** » 12 Aug 2005 15:34

It indeed is, very easy to read everything and everything logicly placed (if you ask me). The logo isn't basd either.

It looks too complicated for me. For starters, it probaly uses tables for layout. Correct me if i'm wrong, but it is either that, or it won't expand to fit the window.

But some pointers: shrink the big white gaps between the boxes and possible remove the ads, as i don't think we'll be having any. For the time being, we probaly won't need the poll section either, we'll have to see about that.

Right now, i prefer the older design (http://tt2.sourceforge.net/) but with nicer colours and the missing graphics. I'll try and piece that together properly later tonight.

My template are tableless, using only div tag.

The template width is fixed at 800px, height is variable.

Maked new version without ads, right column.
I have moreover reduced white space.

Nice

What do you find nice, Purno? The message on me and the well or the site layout? Remember be to get back to Steve someday...

Can't you change the pink to a little less bright, Steve? I know you wear pink A LOT but don't forcefeed it upon us.

Steve · Post by **Steve** » 15 Aug 2005 13:19

Pink? It's clearly orange. I've been used websafe colours so far, i'm not exactly sure how unsafe other colours are though.

I was serious this time Hyr, I find the website nice. But the message about you made me ROFL

Yes, it's a nice Steve.

I know I wanted a screenshot of the game on the right top corner, but the site looks better without it. It's a good thing you removed it.

And, I certainly like it a lot more than the other design posted here, that is too purple, too general, too boring, ... But, it's thanks to "The Master" our site layout got a little more attention.

Steve · Post by **Steve** » 20 Aug 2005 16:51

Well, I didn't remove the screenshot as such.. I used Zuu's code and only realised that you had made updates when i was nearly done and decided not to attempt to merge the two.

But we could add a screenshot instead of the crazy lightning in the top left. If we covered it in a black mist, so it blended in, it would be nice to show a bit of the game. I'll see what I can some up with tomorrow.

Another update. After some help from fussy Hyronymus and crazy Grunt, the site has a new colour scheme and a quote bit in the top right. There are 4 quotes that will be displayed, refresh to get a new one.

But where is the logo, Steve?

Updated. You can now choose the style to show using the two links in the main section. Green or blue? You can pick.

Hyronymus · Post by **Hyronymus** » 22 Aug 2005 10:53

And you may flood this topic with what you prefer or keep it to yourself and surprise us at tomorrow's meeting.
