2nd-Design v3

Wasn't going to post this but ah well, not gonna code it for probably another 2 weeks or so, doing some other projects first..

anyway..

Choose your option: (I think I prefer the orange one):

www.2nd-design.com/thev3/

www.2nd-design.com/thev3/blue.html

www.2nd-design.com/thev3/red.html

www.2nd-design.com/thev3/green.html

www.2nd-design.com/thev3/pink.html


Reason for v3:
V2 had nice colors at first, recently I wanted to make it more colorful & more lively, but I made it TOO colorful & TOO glossy etc, basicly I completely messed it up..
& cba changing it all again.. hence v3


ALSO; SLOGAN:
Current slogan is "Digital Evolution", I was thinking for v3 to change this to "Digital Revolution" but I have no clue what the difference is between Evolution <> Revolution..


Anyway, do your things ;)


Oh: Note the 2 lightgray boxes (client-slider) (for sale item) will be done in flash & php & xml, & the inner black part of the header also in flash for some smooth animations...

EDIT; note on friends advice, the previews have a watermark on them, hope it doesn't mess up the overall view

Thanks for the advice but thats not an option x]
And to be honest, I like this one more then current one on 2nd-design.com

But thats my view

I liked v1.

Anyway, keep the orange as that's always been your colour.

I was thinking, wth did v1 look like again, but I read on & the orange but made me remember x]

You liked that ? the one with the splash page where could chose like 'HTML/FLASH' etc.. indeed it had orange as theme color

Current one ftw. (or the one before that).

If not those than the orange one looks the best.

Green or Orange.
Very nice Oli!

Thanks,
Hmm.. well since I'm not coding this any time soon, I guesse I could create a new design again, more in the style of v1/v2

I just thought, .. alot of people are making them clean/white designs now, I thought I'd go back to dark'ish.. but ah well..

EDIT: Thanks iTech ;)

(btw iTech, is that you josh ?)


(reason I can't code yet is because I'm going to nyc for 10 days starting from next-monday :) have to go build 3 websites there)

It's good don't get me wrong but I prefer v1 :)

You're referring to:
http://www.2nd-design.com/old/html/
http://www.2nd-design.com/old/full/

(edit: & yes my v1 was completely driven by cutenews lol x] but over the year(s) I've learnt php/am learning & I made a cms now :) )

.?

(dont mind the errors please)

Yes, it showed your style.

v1 looks too ugly, v2 is currently best, merge v2/v3 some how?

Problem is though I'm kinda tired of this design, & feeling to make a new one..
It will probably be a clean one again.

I'd just love to make websites like (www.sevenedge.be) but I don't have the technical, let alone the graphical skills for something like that :P

Due to a flash header I would make & I'd need several swf's then & = more webspace usage etc etc

Understandable,

Oli, as a designer, can you give your opinion on my current layout? Should I consider a new one or is it nice as it it?

If you're talking about the site in your signature then..
Your plans & footer are ok, but the stuff above is, (okay) but looks.. old..& done before etc..

But I asume its an okay design :)


EDIT: also decided to create a new design
this one (one I just posted), well.. down the dumbster it goes x]

Haha thanks,

I saw your design for sale and literrally my jaw dropped. So when the time comes later this year, I shall be contacting you :)

Personally I'd stick with the orange one. It works very well, well done!

Why not have a skin selection system? Allows you to use any color, all the colors are great.

I really love this design, either oranger or green. Not too sure why your making a new one when you have this, but hopefully it will be even better.

I'd have to say orange tbh.

But could you not have a style switcher to display all of them ^^.

Hello, Oli

I'm sorry but i really don't like any of them, except for the pink, and the Bule.

The other colors just don't match :(

OH sorry didn't see that.

So you are coding it all in flash? Ick. That doesn't sound good.

They are all nice.
But I like the orange, red and green :)
If I have to choose one of them, it'd probably the orange one.

No no, only a flash header, and the client-viewer on the homepage

& I dont really know .. Some like some dont, dunno if i should make another or not...


Perhaps i could do a skin selector which stores your choice in ur current session

Different people will like different colours.
Go with the skin selector in FLASH?
Maybe, if you click a colour, it will animate the change of colour, if you know what I mean.?

that would be no problem to make, but i would need to be able to have php in my .css then if i wanted to load the hex code in the css to change the rest of the page

Edit: Nvm I misread a few things, you could use ajax to animate the change so people wouldn't have to refresh the page.

Perhaps

So main question now:

Make a new one or keep this one but with color-selector ?

Personaly I think this one with a skin changer would be really good, but if you've got the time you could make a new one and see which you like more.

Or put most of your CSS in a .css file, and just overwrite the colors on the page with PHP?

Oh! I hadn't thought of that, I guesse I could do a preg_replace oO

Wouldn't really need to do that. Put the classes/ids in the css file with the default values, then on your page you can either have seperate CSS files for each color.

Just replace the ids/classes with a new one, with different values, and it should overwrite the default ones.

Or grab them from a session and replace them.

EX:

CSS Stylesheet .css

Code:

---

body {
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

---

On the page

Code:

---

<style type="text/css">
body {
    background-color: #000000;
}
</style>

---

A colour changer would be good, with orange set as the default.

Nice design btw.

I'd go for the red or blue, my vote is deffo for the blue though, it looks pretty hot. :)
