Be Creative !
« on: January 30, 2003, 04:49:01 PM »
There are so many of you only using the basic templates or downloaded templates of 4Images. If you spend some extra time and know the basics of HTML and Image Creation you can get a excellent site that stands out from the crowd.

The HTML templates are in there. I suggest you rip them apart and keep the basic calls e.g {blah blah] and be creative.

I did and got: http://www.highrez.com Note: not yet complete

Heads up to Jan and the mods here that will help you all the way.

All the best

I agree totally with you. Some people don't care if their site looks the same as the rest. I have no problem with it. It's OK, but in my case i need my own design which shows my visitors how much i care in giving them that something extra or different from other websites.

I'm also trying to stand out from the rest with my design which i will show when the time arrives.

For the moment i've done already my own buttons (easy), headers, footers and changed a bit the category and details template.
I'm still fine tuning details template and checking all the other templates.
It takes a bit longer because of the php calls and all the {blah blah...} which i'm trying to learn and the fact that i NEED multilanguage presentation and content.
This means not only translating all the links, buttons and menus but also as much content related stuff as possible and displaying it depending on the language selected by the user.

btw. widget1981: I like your site a lot. I might have some questions which i'm gonna PM you in the next days.

So JUST DO IT :p or NO RISK NO FUN and experiment with your templates. If you feel unsure work always with backups of your original templates.
Good luck! ;)

Yes please do make backups of all your changes. Every and I mean EVERY change I make I back a backup copy dated and stored away on cd. Just in case. I lost to much work in my time because of not making enough backups never again  :!:

Looking forward to see your site ACmonKey.
