[Nautica]

Hi neowin,

I hope there are still lots of people coming here, i have been away for a few months...

anyways, I have upgraded my website

http://www.studio7designs.com/

it is almost CSS and HTML compliant.. I need to tweak the code and also I need to complete the website...

can you guys give me any pointers ?

thanks

Aran

ok I got the sweet java code, and it looks like its working... soon to come ... blended top photos in java!!!

also, added search

the template for this site can be found at oswd! go check them out super awesome coding and some ok designs

Very nice clean looking site. The only thing letting it down is the google adds down the side. They draw away from the clean layout. Nice clear content on there also, good job :).

I dunno if it's just me but it does run slow every now and then. Get it on a faster host possibly.

thanks... Ill cut out all ads other then on the local links pages and the weddings page...

isn't your website taken from the templates from oswd.org??

http://www.oswd.org/design/preview/id/2199

looks exactly the same!!

Lol, that's becuase it is the same. It even has the same haiku at the top.

Love it! Very Clean, Pure and Proffessional-looking. Although, I wouldn't mind if those images (at the top) faded into one another rather than changing so suddenly, this way it would be less distracting and more graceful.

Site is updated:

No banner ads on right:

Blended top photos are javascript to appear random at page-load ---- 20 second rotation timing:

+++ This site is built from the base of a template from oswd, I have credited the author, and my site will be featured as owsd tomorrow! +++

as for the guys who were critical of me keeping the poem at top, I happen to like it, and am figuring out a way to display random poems with java at top... so stfu and go do something other then critisize hard working people

no way, really.. ?

if you looked at my site, you would see at the bottom of EVERY page a link to the templates author...

this site keeps the buttons and the css from the orig ( and I like the poem too )

other then that I say go look at my code, and then the templates.. my code is about 4 pages more

It's 150 seconds rotation timing right now... And why do you use only 3 images??

[neiltc13]

It's still only a template though...

ok.. lets see your 100% original work from scratch that you made without any reference to anything at all

If you are a web designer why not try and create a design urself instead of a template?

This is in no way a dig at you, im just curious as to why so many people do this?

[Von_Beard]

looks a bit stock to me and the header seems to off to the left

Like it, good work (Y)

Using Firefox 1.0.7 the top banner sticks out towards the right (it's right justified) were as in IE its centred.

Yeah same in Deer Park 1.6a1 (Firefox variant).

[+general chaos]

also, your banner is a dead link... You may wanna fix that!

[MasterC]

it is almost CSS and HTML compliant.. I need to tweak the code and also I need to complete the website...

Almost HTML conpliant? I ran it through the validater at W3C, and there is 36 errors! And it can't even validate the CSS until you fix those errors!

And I'm getting the same problem that others are having with the banner moving over to the right (Mozilla Firefox 1.0.6).

Overall, I like the design- all you need to do is validate it! :D

it is amazing it takes forever to download a template,change the content and then upload it

If its your first site and you added stuff in the content then well done *pats back*, otherwise that shouldnt be taking you forever!
