This is a redesign of a site I made about 2 years ago. The new one is constructed using flex, content driven by xml. The old one is pure HTML.

Old site:
www.downhillwine.com

New site:
http://205.234.145.204/~down/

What do you think?

nice... but the cursor shound be black! it's bad for clicking... as for me i do not like small location..

and navigation could be better

tox0tes · #3 Jul 7th, 2008, 11:03

you mean i should create a custom cursor instead of using default... because white is default. What does "small location" mean and how could I improve the navigation?

You can't create a custom cursor (not without flash)

And I think by small location he means the sitemeter.com logo. I would use Google Analytics, you don't have to have a small thing like that with them.

And the email button looks a little bit cheesy

Make sure the thing extends all the way down.

no lol you are both looking at the wrong site.... that is the old one. the new one is http://205.234.145.204/~down/

Hi, i really like the new site i think its easy to use and really grabs the attention of the viewer,

how did you get the page to display in the center at that size i have been looking to do that for a while but havent managed it?

(i really like this)

best of luck with the site

thanks, i appreciate your comments. The centering trick is done with CSS. You have to specify the width and height of the container, and then make the margin-top half the height and the margin-left half the width... its hard to explain... here's the code

CSS:

Code: Select all

#wrapper 
{
	width: 750px;
	height: 600px;
	position: absolute;
	top: 50%;
	left: 50%;
	margin-left: -375px;
	margin-top: -300px;
}

HTML:

Code: Select all

<div id="wrapper">
content
</div>

tox only if they want vertical and horizontal centering. This site is only centered horizontally.

tox0tes · #9 Jul 7th, 2008, 20:22

it's centered vertically and horizontally... I copied that code right out of the source of my site. does it not display like that for you?

moojoo · #10 Jul 7th, 2008, 20:24

You're right it does. My mistake.

I really like it. The only issue i have is that i can't see your logo because my toolbars are blocking it so i have to close each toolbar to see more of the top of the page so you need to look in to that.

Otherwise a great job

well the new one I like more)))) but the picture was great in an old one))) *small location* - I meant that the main window of the site could be larger ) there to much back ground
