I can't find the right look,
I know its a simple look, but I need some designer intuition.... I am looking to redo Ampland again.. I have worked a year on getting it looking decent, and remain the same style, however I have learned that 3 column layouts are
#1 a huge pain in the ass. (even though i have mastered them via CSS)
#2 horrible for seo (omg im getting my ass kicked cuz of the gayness footers at top of page)
And we all know SEO is my middle name, so I must have this site redone again..
The problem being, I am having trouble finding the new look but same Ampland atmosphere and colors.. I do have the clues.
So if you want to show me simple mockups, i will gladly review them and hire
the one we like to be ifnished, but first pay attention to the things I know I want..
#1 Fixed Width Centered Layout
900px to start, this can be changed and wont hurt the site if changed.
#2 100% CSS design, sorry we have left tables out in the stable
#3 header and footer and the footer must be at the bottom of text file
#4 obviously the categories will be going down the left side of the main menu page... from there do whatever
#5 the colors, if you cant figure them out.. well why are you a designer?
so if you have the right look for ampland, and cant do a quick mock-up
hit me up and let see what ideas you have... I want it more web 2.0 kinda
style if possible, im not expecting a complete design done as a mockup, all I want to see is a simple design layout, with like just the header in mind is all I care to see, then we can go from there.
Thanks
