OK, I\'ve gotten phase one done of my site. I just wanted to get the darn thing up.
I\'ve never done one and I have no freaking clue what I\'m doing, but I think I did ok so far.
I know, the contact info is hard to read, but my computer sucks and it keeps crashing on me when I\'ve tried rendering the piece at a different angle. so suck it.

I\'d love any help I can get. I\'d like to eventually make it easier to update. I don\'t know how to make it work like a database, but I\'d like to be able to easily enter things I\'ve done and things that are about to air.
try out the video section. It seems to stream fine for me. Only takes a couple seconds to start running.
56kers can eat me. Although I\'d like to know how sucky the site is at 56k. Honestly I didn\'t create the site for 56k though. Anyone in the media business at 56k needs to just pack it up and go home.

well, first of all I\'d lose the 3d logos, logo\'s like that always look amature\'ish, the logo\'s you had were very good.
Chose a color palette and stick with it, 3 to 4 colors at most, the grey\'s and white are good but you need a contrasting color for that, say that line thing under the images and logo.
The colors should also apply the text on the site, the default blue colors for the links look very out of place.
I\'ll whip up a mockup with a few changes if I have time.
-
I changed all the links to be gray. DOn\'t know why they are coming up blue.
I made the 3d thing because I have to make something for video and that ties in. Although the more I think about it, I kind of like the other one still. Just wish I had the font back. I can\'t believe I deleted it.
But again, this isn\'t to promote myself as a website builder. It\'s just a place on the net for people to look at video clips. I know I suck at website crap.
-
Your site directly realtes to you if you got a cheese as site then it doenst matter that your vids are good they will think your cheese ass.
-
Exactly. That\'s what I was going for. In a nutshell.
I\'d love to do stuff in flash, but that damn program has gotten so damn complicated since version 4. I just don\'t have the time to learn the shit it takes to learn to make a nice looking site. So therefore I have come to the realization that I will just sit in my pool of suckitude.

here\'s a little mockup I whipped up in 5 minutes.

OK, I\'ll keep playing. Won\'t be able to do much till this weekend though. I have to go make some money the next couple days. I agree with you on the clean look though.

OK, I did this in 4 minutes ;)
That and 2 restarts of the computer and my son wanting me to crash his lincoln log house with stay puff marshmellow man.
I know, the red should be blue, but it was something I already had.

dont you use an mac?
hmm interesting

PHP-Nuke is the easiest and most popular way to add an instant database to your website.
If your web host provides CPanel it should be an installable script with the click of a button.

I had a mac with my old work. That thing was slower than my 1.3 I am on now. I quit and they took the computer back. Now I\'m unemployed and have just one shitty computer.

Wow Vid...looks good
-
it\'s just me or is the one No One made looks better? Maybe except that tabs, Video looks more interesting, but the logo and the title, No One looks better than Videoholic...
just my opinion.
-
I like the logo and bg better in vid\'s. no-one has some cool beveled seperaters though.
Vid if you send me the font and .PSD of your logo I can make it into a Flash, juslight can too. But hire me instead, I really need the work.
-
That\'s the problem. I lost the freaking font. All I have are the shape files from the PSD.
I\'d like to do a flash for the opening page.
I like the beveled seperators too. I didn\'t spend any time on that thing. I\'ll play a bit tonight.

Yeah i have no idea why Vids cheap ass won\'t just pay no-one a few bucks to whip him up a site. He\'d probably do it for sexual favors;)
-
The new design is much better, and I like the red in the banner.
The fonts are too big though, I\'d make them smaller, everywhere and the main text I\'d make a shade of grey instead of full on black, something like #555555.
The bevelling on the menu doesn\'t quite cut it though, again has a lot of photoshop preset look to it, and I\'d add a 1px thick stroke to it.
-
The beveling on it is set at 1, so it\'s barely even there. And there is a stroke of 1 pixel. That\'s where the black outline comes into play.
Honestly I could get rid of the menu on the side because it\'s redundant with what\'s on top.
-
I like the header,(although its a little too big) but I\'d scrap the menu button... the gradient looks old cheeze style... Ill pop something up for you to look at in a few minutes..
here...

I moved the navigation under the header because its easier to see.
Also, if you made the site using teplates, you could easily update info without having to worry about accidentally changing anything else. Just a thought
Id still make the header a little shorter so you can fit more content on the page.
-
I like that. I mentioned earlier I would like to lose the left menu bar. It\'s just redunadant. I like this look. I will play with it tonight a bit.

Remember to do some website work as well. :)

Here\'s my shot trying to work with a left sidebar:

you silly.
Nice job T. I think I\'m going to leave it without a left side for a bit. There really aren\'t enough menu items that I can\'t just leave it in the title bar. That side bar takes up so much space.
-
Hey looks good so far,i could not do that,lucky i can actually figure out how to surf the web
-
IM very simplistic... and by the way i would remove the footballe player unless you had autorization..
-
I was authorized to shoot it. so so long ago. I want to cry. I\'m getting too old. That dolphins video I have on the site is 10 years old. ugh.
I just wish I saved more. I had some real nice stuff from Michael Vick\'s Sugar bowl and great stuff from Super Bowl 29. Sucks that I don\'t have any of that stuff any more.
