    StarShine's Website Layout

    Hey Guys,

    As you may have read from StarShine's topic regarding his website, and what things he needed, I discussed tor probability of doing the template for him.

    The reason for this was he was on a CMS, *Joomla!* and didn't really like it, but loved the template, so I offered to do it for him as a standard template.

    I came up with this:

    http://freezebox.x10hosting.com/starshine/index_2.php

    Now it is changed a fair bit, as he said he wanted the look of http://animalxing.com so I decided to change the look so it suited that type of website layout better!

    Please Rate outta 10

    It looks good. Personaly, I feel that the orange nav bar stands out a little to much. The banner looks cool, the colors match the layout well.

    Overall, I would say 7.5

    Thanks, the original is here: http://freezebox.x10hosting.com/starshine/index.php

    Like I said it is rough version one, so many changes still can be made to the template

    It looks wonderful.
    Although, I do agree with the others with the orange color. Its a bit bright to me. Maybe a different color scheme?
    I tend to like blues, purples, reds.

    Is there a way to add a copyright notice at the very bottom - like the original had? ( copyright 2007 ... )

    Otherwise, you got the idea that I was after.

    When I viewed it, the page was shifted over at least 100 pixels, with part of it off to the right.

    Also, it is not exactly centered. On 1280x960, the left is 159 pixels from the edge and the right is 209 pixels from the edge.

    Ok, Changes shall be made to the layout, so that it meets the expectations!

    As for the centered, I just set the margin left to about 150px, because when I put a centered div around the whole thing, it centered the content not the divs themselves!

    The logo doesn't look right in IE6 because of the transparency used.

    @ Starshine, I can change the colour scheme around so that it usese blues etc, if you so wish. I was simply using the current template, and that colour scheme.

    I shall place the copyright in as well.

    As for your legal notice, that you originally had StarShine, any chance I can get a copy of it, to place on the site?

    Thanks for the reviews.

    Re: StarShine's Website Layout

    The layout is ok. The main background colour could be worked on a bit more. The main content area is lacking a bit of difference like inline images and different fonts. Not bad overall. I would, myself, go for a different colour scheme but yours is fine.

    6/10
