DP Site Design

A|\|d ev3ry 1hi|\|g \/\/ould b3 1337!!!!

 

Translation: I am ready to redesign DP (DeadPeople) .

 

actually I think should change BUT may not need to be so fantastic with colourfull kind of stuff.

I remember, the first time I came to DP through google, I imediately click Back Button. (well, this is only for MAIN page). However, google always direct me to DP forums for specific keywords, and after sometimes, I decided to become one current member here

 

ahh well I will be here even more since I love history.

 

i mostly use the forum, i think switch the forum to the main site lol .

 

I did some work on DP homepage and inner page. I will be happy to do some changes and tweaking if required by the administrator.

I am posting this here for some reviews.

 

Wow, that's great, Sumit!

 

Thanx Skribblez.

 

Yeah, looks good!

 

It bothered me at first, and I even offered to re-design a "quick moving" site for Shawn, but he denied. I guess I can understand why.

Once you get used to something, you dont want to see it change.

I got some spare time, maybe I can toss up something real quick just for fun

 

I like the look Sumit and the fact you have keep it simple to use still. Curious to see what others come up with.

 

I dont know lmao, my mind went blank and I didnt know how to finish it, so that it does not look so "cartoonish"...

It may just be because there is no content andI did it in like 5 minutes



Oh well, I gotta start packing for trout fishing

Maybe I can try another before I leave.

I am so used to being able to make crazt designs like the ones in my sig, this is hard for me.

 

Currently i am using 3 images in left navigation, the total size of these images is 2kb in navigation and the main image(header) on homepage is 13kb. I have tried to use minimum images in the design as suggested by you.

Shawn, i can change colors or do some small changes if you want me to.

I would wait for your feedback.

Thanx for the positive response, it was actually a little difficult to design it since the site had to kept simple easy to navigate and on lines with current design and size of the page/image had to be kept low with minimum use of images. So, not much options were available while designing.

 

You definately did a good job man... MY only suggestion would be that I think it should be green like the forum.

Lmao everyone should just ignore mine, it is really bad

Anyways, I got to go for my little weekend outing now.

Later...

 

I am using currently blue theme for DP forum myself, anyways i can always change the colors if more people suggest. And definitely Shawn would've the final say, its his website after all.

 

I honestly like it Sumit. Have you tested it to see how fast it loads yet.

 

I did not cut the HTML yet, but i am guessing the homepage with the main header image (which itself is 13-14kb) should not be more than 25kb and the inner pages would be close to 10kb.

If that sounds a bit heavy maybe we can do a little tweaking and save 1-2 kb more. Also, size of homepage can be reduced by either removing the header image or maybe use a lighter one.

Shawn, What is the current size of homepage of DP?

 

According to Fahd:

 

The whole point of mine was that I could use css to do it. This wat the only image would be the logo. All the rest would be regular colors.
