Doomsday - I'm only interested in looking unique from say, the top 10 Final Fantasy sites. If a small message board uses green, don't let it discourage you from doing so. Although most sites use blue, no one uses that particular hue that we do on the front page, so I consider it unique.
Can't be much worse than what was used to code EoFF in the first place. :DQuote:

Master Cid. would a colour scheme like www.carrotmaster.com/joel be workable?
Probably too dark, me thinks.Quote:

Hey Cid, if we base it on your design can we split the winnings with you? xDD
I'm not that good with HTML, and my website designs would be all depressing, like black and grey, if I could even make them. So good luck everyone. :)
For the love of all things holy, could you add a requirement that this thing has to work in Firefox and Opera as well as IE? Or add a requirement that it has to be XHTML compliant or something? See http://validator.w3.org/
When you say design do you mean you want the layout to remain the same and you just want a new graphical look? Say like a box around all the titles for the games and so forth.
Can I use javascript and stuff to create drop down menus and more java script to do stuff?
I am not good with making pictures and things like that as the only thing I have is paint. Will it be held against me if I use say a big box that say 'insert banner type picture here' and leave it up to you guys to create a picture for that spot?
Mine does work in Firefox considering I built it in FIREFOX!Quote:

But that's me. I don't intend on making a layout unless I get really bored or motivated.
I agree. Websites with tons of images suck.
I agree with Unne as well. And if you're going to use CSS, might as well validate that too. :D
If you do your images right, they shouldn't take long to download. I'm looking at some old stuff right now that was intended for the site, and while there are a few more images (emphasis on few), none of them are over 47k.
I'm thinking more along the lines of the entire layout being one, or a few big, clickable images. That's bad. Simple as it may be, the old text within a table, a banner, and a few more images here and there works best, I think.
Exactly.Quote:
