Another Concept
After my success with the Farringtons Concept, I have started to do drawings for all of the sites I make.
They are by no means the final version, I don’t throw them through a converter to make a website, I make the whole thing again with XHTML and CSS then cut it up into sections for themes or templates.
They just show the general look of the site, if anything major is wrong with the design I change it at this stage.
This concept is for the first custom blog theme I have sold, more details coming one I have finished it!
if you’re going to do the dictionary footer, don’t forget the phonetical bit!

Nice design…

Looks good…
If there is anything that I’m not so sure I like, its the drop shadow on the nav (top) bar. The shadow below that one looks awesome though.
Cool Design!

hey, just a quick one, how do you create sites, any tutorial that you learned from or what?

lol stabani…
Andrew’s been asked this before….

I’m all self taught Stabani, I used the wordpress codec quite a lots, as well as learning from examining other themes.
I’ve learnt that I’m crappy at writing technical tutorials, I’ve tried a few before but had many negative comments.

That was weird, two comments at the same time!!
Andrew on August 31, 2006 8:54 pm
nonsense andrew’s brilliant

i know how to create the design and the theme, heck, i know how to work in photoshop and such. I just can’t seem to create the layout I want in photoshop to make screencasts—they just end up looking like what I imagined after playing around with the code for a couple of hours
That’s what I wanted to know- how to make the screencasts themselves, not how to turn them into xhtml..

What do you mean by screencasts?
Screencasts are video tutorials or examples, sure you don’t mean screenshots?
