been messing around with photoshop and macromedia fireworks to put together a site for me. its nothing special, just basic logo home page with links,contact and gallery navigation bar. the gallery is still being worked with so thats the only page not done.

was fun doing it, I was thinking about making the buttons more interactive with a rollover effect but just decided against it. Still might do it, if i find more time though.

Next, I'm trying to figure out how to make some little flash thingy-ma-bobs to go on the home page to spice it up. i still need to figure out how to incorporate a flash object into a fireworks page though

This site is piggy backed off another so i can get some feedback before I load it to its own domain.

Looks sweet dude.

Really like the symbol you've got - design that youself?

I think it would look pretty cool if ou did get some menu button effect goin on but either way its looking SHwEEt!

Looks good, a bit different but variety is always good. IMO you don't need any snazzy button animation, but a highlight wouldn't hurt.

You misspelled "galery" in the header section of the gallery page

Pretty cool, though. Have fun!

Very nice, would love to be able to do web pages, just don't have the time to mess with it.

How long did it take to set up?

LOLO, I just saw the "galery" thing , I'll fix that later today. It took me two nights to do... probly 4 hours total, all the graphics are original. And doing a simple highlight rollover I guess would look good, so I'll do that too while im at it....or maybe even an image swap , like for the the "Home" link I'll do an image swap for a small house, and for the "Links" link I'll do a chain. If that doesnt turn out good then I'll stick w/ the highlight.

Ok, re-did the nav bar. I didn't do any rollover effects because fireworks doesn't like the shadow/transparencies i have on the buttons. The nav bar is a little more intense in regards to detail.

I also made the background fade a little more into black, looks smoother I think. Still needs tweaks to do as I get free time.

That's sick dude!
Man, I'd love to just be able to design a simple homepage one of these days (read: need time to play around)
Good stuff

Looking good. But just a thought, what about using frames (?) that is instead of loading everything again you only load the inside of the box.

Checked it with FireFox... Really Nice! Like the "artwork"!!!

Just a suggestion, though.... I find the colors a bit "muted".... some extra saturation & a bit more contrast
would not hurt, imho....

TDR

MasterP- lolo, i know what you mean man. I'm in front of this damned machine most of the day for my job so i have like 10min here and there to fool around

4x0n- That is a good idea, lemme play around with that some more, do you know if fireworks does frames easily or do i have to do it in dreamweaver?

TDR- Yes, i intentionally muted the colors. I added transparencies to all of the pages in some way or another. The contact page I think I might have over done the transparency so i will redo that one with a more vivid circle. don't know why but I really like the soft look, in contrast to the Nav bar.

Sorry, I have no idea , I only used frames in FrontPage for a school project, shame on me

SWEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!

Well after some late nights/ early mornings, figured out the coding i need to make my gallery page how i want.

i uploaded two of my pics in different ways and want to know which you guys like better. the rest of the page is just dummy text and pictures that i used to test out the code.

On the second pic with the music, i just put in what i had around. It will be alot less in size and will be somthing cooler, more of a background sound other than music..

LINKY

oh and dont know why it turned out black and white...but will be full color if the music one is cooler.

Updated the gallery page again, almost done, got rid of the music. Just need to upload a few more pics and then add links to all there 640x480 bigger brothers.

that looks pretty nice m8. i like the fonts but they look a little dull to me. you should make them brighter but not to much otherwise it could make some of the detail hard to see

Thanx, I was thinking pretty much the same thing, just waiting for someone to mention it to make sure its not just me

Well the gallery page is basically done. All the images are uploaded, linked and opens in a new window

Im going to proof read all my grammer later on when i have a little more time.

So my next project is to update the Nav bare text, and then im going to convert all the text links in my "Links" page into the linked sites logo/banner, as well as change up that page a bit.
