Welcome to HBGames, a leading amateur game development forum and Discord server. All are welcome, and amongst our ranks you will find experts in their field from all aspects of video game design and development.

Show us your websites ...

I've gotten this up and running, but there are a few errors that are specific to Gecko (mainly since I use WebKit browsers).

If you know what's going on, or have anything to comment on (layout-wise), do tell. I don't own the site, but I do all the coding and management.
 
Main Page:
Do not have one yet. I can't think of were to make it/host it.

My Forum:
Don't use this thread just to advertise your website. This is for critique on web design and layout, and there's absolutely nothing in that forum that you made yourself. I've removed the blatant recruitment ads, too.
 
Again, a forum is not really a website and can't really be reviewed in the same way. I mean the skin itself was created by somebody else.

I know, but I will post my website up here later. And I am going to be making my own skin.

but there's nothing about your forum to critique. at the moment, there's nothing you yourself have made. until you make your own skin for critique, I'd like to ask that you don't post things here as blatant advertisements, since that's not the purpose of this thread. I've removed the link and recruitment ads, since this thread is not for getting people to visit your site.

Awesome Bro

Despain remember stop and paint aswell?
Me & Dz will be finishing that over XMAS so I'll keep you posted.

@Wyatt
- Do you mean the repeat-x BG? or the main image? The main image was a .png at first but it was a little big even after compression so I changed it to .jpg with a snippet of the bg behind it. The splash won't be there for much longer, sites going online next week :)
 
Cheatking, the site seems a little grey and very basic. I can see the basic premise of the site and it does stay consistent but I just feel that with a little bit more work you could have it looking a lot better (Images, better color scheme etc). Keep it up though, take a look at some of the sites in this thread for some ideas, there are some very good sites.

@Wyatt: that's not all you can do, there are some pretty spiffy parallax effects. Here's a site I worked on recently:

http://www.cokesburyvbs.com/camp-edge-overview.php

I didn't do the design, so it's not my fault it's miserable. I just did the layout, made it work in a web format. The designer did print design and didn't have the faintest concept about what works on the web. I used the stretchy/parallax effect for the headers because he didn't account for the fact that windows can be different sizes :P

The original concept was discovered by silverback.com, although they don't have it on the site anymore. http://therissingtonpodcast.co.uk/ also makes great use of the effect (check out the footer). :)

@stevo: I think you could get away with a png-8+alpha (if you have fireworks or that other funky software that makes them). In fact I'm willing to bet it'd be smaller than the jpg.
 
  • God is with me. I will stay close to God.
  • God guides me. I will follow.
  • God teaches me. I will learn.
  • God loves me. I will love God and others.
  • God sends me. I will go.
