I think it's time for PS to get the homepag eit deserv. That's why i have decided to take matteris into my own hands. The only problem is that i need a good designer, since that's not my strong side. I will code, it will be a mix of (X)HTML, CSS and PHP.
If anyone have any ideas or a complete design, please post it in this forum. Remember to keep the design clean and not a lot of moving pictures since that mostly distracts you from the content of the page.
All contributions will be consicered, as well as all ideas.
(I'm sorry for my bad english)

Since I once had the same idea on my mind I did a little something

All arts are "ripped" from PS or the actual HP and modified, so we have a consistent look.
Well it is not really hot, but maybe it will create some more ideas or be a base, or whatever :)
Also keep the usability in mind, the worst thing at the moment for me is not the design, its how things are layed out and how you can reach some sections...

Welcome to the forums, Bastiq :)
Perhaps it would be a good idea to show us previous sites that you have done?
-
Yes, ofcause usability is the most important, always see that as the number one thing. Forgot to mention it because i saw that as too obvious. :P
It was better than the current one, or could be atleast. But i think the layout is more like a CS clan or something.
I like the meny at top, ofcause that's not required but i like it. A serverstatus windows was a good thing too, but i don't know how to make that. Maybe one of the coders can help there.
Thank you Karyuu!
I'm quite new as a webcoder, but i have some pages i have made. All of them in swedish, not that that's really important. Remember that i have made the design too, so they are not as good looking as the code ;)
A page for my brothers' company who build kitchens and bathrooms. (Not done yet!)
www.ekerointerior.se
My own little project. The design is quite odd and the page is far from complete.

I have made a few more sites, but i hope that that satisfy your needs. :P

About the Serverstats, there is a nice script from Peeg:
http://laanxwrapper.chaoslab.de/
It is a bit slow but he is also working on a faster xml-based one (maybe he is ready yet and I do not know :) ).
PS: about the rest, you are totaly right :)
Oh and nice clean sites you made!
-
Alfonso Knaf: Great, thanks!
Forgot to say that there will be absolutly NO flash! Don't come up with ideas that require that, because even if it may be useful, it's not as common as most ppl think. So for everyone to be able to see the page properly, there will be no flash at all.
-
Ah, that is good news. I cannot stand most sites which have flash! Good luck with the site.
-
Question, whatever happened to that other person? Weren't they going to do one. I remember a big long thread about it. Or am I thinking that was for the forums? And speaking of which, any words on the progress of getting those nifty forum features back, like say, oh, the spell checker? /me sighs
-
Jepp there was this thread: http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=22600.0
Unfortunately netty (he wanted to create a new one - most about this is at the last two pages of the thread as I recall it) seems to be not around anymore.
-
Well, the design is chosen and the building has begun.
It's gonna be really good. josePhoenix has made the design and i'm working on the coding of the page. It shouldn't take too long to make.
-
I find this a really good idea, especially when i go to Hydlaa.com and i see..in black boring letters.
Welcome to the Hydlaa Plaza
-
Er, hydlaa.com is going to stay as it is. That's not the PS website, it's just a domain Acraig registered to use for the forums.
-
hydlaa.com could be set up to auto redirect to planeshift.it
:whistling:

It's been a while without any work on the new homepage. :(
I feel i don't have enough time right now. I have a lot to do in school and i've just got a work beside school.
The design is done and some minor other stuff. If anyone feel like picking up where i am now, give me a PM.
It shouldn't be so much work for a good PHP coder, but i did this to lot to learn so i don't work so fast.
Well... as i said, give me a PM if you'r interested and i'll tell you more. :)
-
Oh its nice to see someone is still working on the home page change... every time someone starts they seem to dissapear.
-
If i can't get help with the coding i feel there won't be anything of this homepage either. It's nothing for a good PHP coder but quite a lot for me since i'm not that good yet. :P

I promise that the design as it is on the homepage i'm working on is a lot better. :P
It would be a shame to not finishing it.... It's not made by me by the way, so im not just braging. :P
-
Ooooh. You have to show me it after you have finished making it.
