Like your past work this one is very clean. And it's ok, but compared to your previous posting, this one seems to be lacking. Perhaps it's too clean, or maybe it's that pattern in the middle? (I really can't say with any certainty.) A couple of other thoughts are; the mouseover buttons seem kinda small for text, and the sphere with the ring really seems like it should do something.

My first thought when seeing it was, "Wow, did the thief take some enthusiasm out of there work?" So I have to ask did you build this while dealing with the thief? I look forward to seeing your work when you post, I enjoy the fact that you convey simplicity without compromising a design goal.

No the thief didn't take out anything from us. This is a template that we are going to send to a guy who is buying templates for 50 to 100 dollars. We made it simple to see if this is what he is wanting and if he is not logit then we really haven't lost anything.

Also, we made it to be fast loading on the other hand so that in case someone wanted to buy it it would have a nice load time.

for a $50-$100 template it's very nice....hope it works out for you with the client!

I like the concept alot -- it all fits in very niceley. And simple as it is, I really like the little footer peice.
I think it's all just a bit too dull though. The colors just kind of lay there dismally.
Here's what I would change if it were my peice --
I'd take out the little x-pattern part in the top mauve section, and I'd make the background part of the top section (the three exposed sections where the top shape cuts inward) more of a dark, almost black, grey.
Then I'd just up the contrast a little bit.

And that's my 2 cents <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/biggrin.gif"> .
I love to see work from you two!

heh, would that be Mark at obsnet? If it is, and you get a reply let me know. All I've got back so far is the "canned" response that went to everyone.

No this page is for another guy.

But I have sent 2 pages to Mark without Allgoods permission..... <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">
Do you know him? He has sent me a really nice e-mail yes but haven't heard anything about the 2 pages I made.

I really like the template2 with the rings and spheres, that is a very nice template. I kinda like this template work idea, I can design without worry so much about content, just guidelines. I had hoped to hear from Mark, he seemed so eager.

I really like what your doing with the templates......Im doing the same thing and think that this is the future of web design........i think simple is good and i think wild is good ...let the customer know whats happening.........here is the addy.....i dont like advertising on BBoards but this is up your ally with the template idea..........Cyber

Hi DocCyber,

You have right, I don't really like it either that's why I didn't post them when they was finished...
I did it when F1_error asked me about the guy to show him what I had come up with..
Hummm....I guess I did wrong and will not do it again.

Thanks for your nice comments <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

Maa, you didn't do wrong, and neither did DocCyber. You were not advertising for any of us to buy your work, you were doing what we are all here to do; share our work in the "community". I liked seeing what you did, no matter if it was for a client or if it was something that you were trying to sell. The important point here is that you both were not advertising, you posting to share what you've done, a very, very important thing to this community. You would be advertising if you were to post; "look at this http://www.blah.com you can buy it from me for $10,000.00." That is advertising. Many of us here either work for ourselves, or for others in the design industry, and as such we post what we are working on, not advertising what we are working on. Please don't stop sharing anything you do. Anyone else want to post on this, I'm rambling on...

That first interface that's linked to on this page, in IE 4 on Win 95, has some problems with the table. There are horizontal gaps along the image; one about ten pixels from the top, and one right above the second mouse-over button from the bottom.

Slime if your talking about my first page......i have problems setting text boxes for a PC ..i use a mac and it seems text boxes that are set for 24 on a pc is a 17 on a Mac..............it makes for odd coding when you have such a difference in sizes...............if in deed this was my page your talking about...........anyone have a solution for this other then just sizing them small on a MAC so they fit a PC...??????...Cyber

I went back and looked at the interfaces in IE5 and NS4.7 (PC) and I don't see any problems. But Cyber is right, Mac and PC both treat text boxes differently, and not only that but NS and IE treat them differently also. Makes the world so much more fun when nothing works the same from browser to browser.

fwiw -- I run IE 4.0 on Win 98, no problems with any of the posted sites. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

Oops, that was IE 5 - but on this computer it works. It must have been my text size on the other computer. I guess. Whatever.
