redbullmarky Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Hi allI'm looking at turning my site (http://www.crashandburn.co.uk) into a proper 'Web Design' site, but i'm a little stuck for ideas, mainly on content especially for the front page. I want to keep it relatively informal, but still professional at the same time (ie, no Comic Sans fonts or Table layouts). And obviously I want to show my worth, but don't want to resort to AJAX and Flash and little tricks all over the place. Possibly i'll have a download section for a few scripts, as a few I use at the moment that i've developed, I'm quite proud of and work very well for me.So...not looking to rip off anyone here, but I'd be keen to see everybody's main web-design site, whether it be a company or individual developer. Just so we have some guidelines here - I don't want to see posts+links from anyone cheeky enough to think that their social-networking/personal/shopping cart/hosting site is what I want to see, although if someone has a site that might not yet be live (ie, under construction, etc) and has any tips to share, fire away.Post your links!CheersMark Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/20986-web-design-sites/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 www.halfadot.com - lots of the text of my main site's front page has been 'borrowed' by several other 'designers' so I suppose they thought it worked :) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/20986-web-design-sites/#findComment-93094 Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 Hi AndyNot sure if you got my email a while back re yours, but I like it alot. Where did you get the images from, or can you recommend a cheap/free place to get decent stock photos free for commercial use?CheersMark Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/20986-web-design-sites/#findComment-93096 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Mark - you [i]never[/i] send me email. I keep hoping ... ;DMy primary source of free images arewww.sxc.huwww.morguefile.comWhen desperate, I invest a dollar at places likewww.dreamstime.comApart from those, I've bought (on eBay) a zillion images on CD - like the Corel gallery - for around $5/CD and I also have the Hemera PhotoObjects collection Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/20986-web-design-sites/#findComment-93103 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may get some ideas from www.your-portfolio.net (shazam, what a name!) but I haven't put the same level of care into it as my real site. Guess that's a hint to self.

jcombs_31 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for. If I ever get a chance to continue working on it, I will provide IT related articles on my site (http://www.jcombs.net). My business site features some information about web design and technology, but just as an overview to my services (http://www.multimedia-technologies.com). If you want a good idea for web design related articles specifically, you can always look at places like alistapart.com.

I tend to get stuck on the content when thinking about sites like this, so am curious to see people's "Web Design Services" sites.Funnily enough I was looking at your two earlier today as they're both well crafted.CheersMark Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/20986-web-design-sites/#findComment-103045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcombs_31 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I've really really really been slacking on developing my site. I've just been swamped at work and home. I'd really like to get it going one of these days. Most articles will actually be IT related, not web related. I work as an IT Specialist/Sys Admin and like to take notes on certain tasks that sometimes are not well documented.
