But you gotta admit that flash really gives sites that designer's edge.

Well, yes, but we all come to a point when we understand that its all eye candy. This is a highend site so some subtle flash effects would be good, but not if you have to sacrifice usability. Read "Dont make me think" by Steve Krug.

flash is a bit more difficult to manage in terms of content. and then there's that problem of SEO, although that is something that might not be a problem in the future.

Actually old anarchy.com designs rocked

definitly looking better then what it is rightn ow

Just my :2 cents: but anyone trying to make a design for Men.com, I would avoidany circular shapes (even the logo...)

Curves, circles = softer for women
Squares, lines = harder for men

:thumbsup

Direct Navigation. Come on has the Marchex announcement really changed what we call a typein now ?

Good Shit.

KRL thanks for the chance and I'd love to enter but I'd say you go straight to the big boys for a design.

Oh and P.S. ---- Guys kill the Bevels and Shadows :2 cents:

Which reminds me. KRL, you really should SEF (search engine friendly) your forums. Just my :2 cents:

Btw, GallerySeek, did you do the design for Dache's BodyGain?

hehe. I am "Dache" (aka Dreamache)

i own bodygain.

The last contest had some great entries.

:thumbsup :)

I was verymuch hoping that was you! LOL! Otherwise I was going to email you and say, hey, there's this guy over at GFY ripping you off! :1orglaugh

Sweet designs, buddy. :thumbsup

lol thanks.. how do i know you?

Er, look at the sig, silly.

ahh yes, thought you looked familiar, forgot about that site!@@ hate when that happens.

What? I gotta buy you some Ginko Baloba now? :)

I know. The chat room is empty and there are responses to your thread from weeks ago! Drop on in!

Yep, and I raced to buy that domain term and it was already gone.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Humm...

Well I think we see eye to eye on somthing:glugglug


Indeed ya can not argue with direct simplicty.
Fight as some do about the way Yahoo looks or google...
Google says far more than a full page @ Yahoo.

Thats how the web works.
Thats why I always ask..

"Whats it do?"

If it does nothing. It has no purpose.
The result of no purpose is oblivion it will be lost, forgotten.

i think you need a google/yahoo look.... simple and to the point, maybe some custom buttons..etc...

there's only one guy here who does all that and more the best:

www.gablu.biz :thumbsup

Isn't that ummmm, darn can't recall his name but the guy in Europe that does very effective logos that have been posted here.

What's his name again?

his name is lukapensa here on the boards :thumbsup

Yep, that's the name.

Thanks, it was driving me nutty not remembering it.

:thumbsup

he's doing a bunch of stuff for me... let me know if you need to get a hold of him :thumbsup

I've seen his logo work which is outstanding. Never seen his full site work.

Where's he hiding it on there? Coudln't find a working link.

hehe... i dont think he likes showing to everyone...

if you want.. hit me up on icq, ill show what he's done for me.. got 5-6 projects..

galleryseek, how much do you charge for a paysite design?

:thumbsup

:flagface

good idea

Sounds like you got a boat load of opinions coming at you KRL and they're all more qualified then me. But here's what i want to see from a surfers perspective:

Hot chicks (not gay male models posing)

Some of the latest relevant news

Interesting articles that are either funny, informative or 'water cooler' type of chit chat to talk about

and if you want me to keep coming back, perhaps a login with username/password that allows me to see more of what im looking for.

Most of all I would like a site thats simple and to the point. Flash might be great for some people, but when im going to a website I dont want to watch a movie, I want what I am looking for.. 2 minutes ago.

Good luck!

I got redirected to a search page.

Thanks Sean.

There is so much more coming. No one sees all the stuff we're still working on here. It takes a long time to cut deals and get things wired for sound.

For example, today we just landed one of the biggest personal trainers to the stars to be our Fitness Expert. So much more stuff to come.

Thanks for your thoughts!!
