Thread: New website design
Hi all, We still looking for a volunteer to update Alexey's site framework with Lukasz new design. Surely someone has some time to spare? If not, anybody know anyone not of this list who might want to lend a hand? Regards, Dave.

I'll give it a go, if someone would point me in the right direction to Alexey's templates and Lukasz' snazzy html/css/images. Michael Glaesemann grzm myrealbox com

I'm just anxious to see the new design up :) I won't stand in Alexey's way. > > The original concept was indeed a mockup in photoshop, however, Lukasz > was kind enough to code it up for us - the xhtml and images are in the > attachment. I took a brief look at the html. It looks like it has a lot of nested tables. One of the things I was going to do is try to reduce the number of nested tables to lighten the page. IIRC, Alexey is similarly driven by lightweight xhmtl/css design, so I'm sure he'd do the same thing. When I did this a while back (using the current markup), I was able to reduce the page weight by at least 40% if memory serves. Michael Glaesemann grzm myrealbox com

Right now I'm trying to create a "better" html file (the current one is "static", in the sense that you can't change navigation easily). Can I also have Photoshop source? For obvious reasons, I'd prefer working with it rather than editing .jpg images.

Do you think it would be feasible to use png on the site rather than jpeg? Or are there too many browsers out there that can't handle png? Michael Glaesemann grzm myrealbox com

Or are there too many browsers out there that can't handle png? Yes, that's one of the reasons I'd like to have Photoshop source. There are some browsers that can't handle PNG alpha transparency, but I don't think that'll be used.
