Feedback wanted - Preliminary look at Version 3 of website

Dont know if you do this, but i find it much easier to make the site in photoshop, then cut out images ect. if any..

Light the blue touch paper....

dude, im norwegian I used 20 min to fig. what that expression meant and im still not sure what you mean.

Edit:

Ok think i know what you mean now. "... if any" i say, i mean that you may find that you dont need any images you can have like just a plain box with color, and you dont need an image to make that in to a website. css or table will do that. Lots of other elements can be done with txt, "box menues" ect without having them as images.

Hi guys,

Couldn't resist despite myself... Had a bash at simplifying the layout in terms of colour/imagery. The rest (logo, masthead, picture of the week etc.) are just placeholders. You get the idea..

Sorry about the large image 56k'ers.

Sorry Eirik - the fact that Photoshop is 'proprietary' software would potentially develop this thread into an interesting discussion. Not that it isn't already of course

"Light the blue touch paper, stand back and watch the fireworks"

:lol:

hehe ok, that was also one one the meanings i found for the expression. But one told me it also could mean, "try it but im not sure how it will turn out or if it works" as:

"A common fuse for garden fireworks, the expression 'light the blue touchpaper and retire' has entered the English language as a colloquialism.It is never used in display fireworks having no accuracy of timing."

You dont know how well it works ..


dpower: Thats nice Only thing i noticed at first glance is the thik grey border, i would maybe use a bit thinner and use black or verry dark blue, so it goes with the header/banner

Dave P - now *that* is really nice. Clean lines, pleasant colours and that's a super header.

I really like that logo. It has all the elements previously discussed yet is simple, clean and professional looking.

No disrepect to anyone else's designs, but this is by far the best I've seen. I could look at a web site like that for years

Cheers

Dave

Dave P,
