I've seen tons of awesome layouts that people I know have made. But I'm not sure how to start one for myself. I have no clue what do to! If anyone has any experience making layouts, would you be able to help me?

Cherchezlafemme 05-06-2003, 01:30 AM I'll help you! ;) PM ME!!!! rundellt2000 05-06-2003, 10:21 AM To make your own layout, you really don't need to many tools. The bare minimum is: Any paint program (even Microsoft Paint will do) A browser to get all the effects, you just gotta have Internet Explorer) A text program (Notepad) Firstly, draw your layout. Like a rough sketch. Draw boxes where you want i-frames or divs(two types of boxes used on the internet), draw areas for your menu or cam pic and other things. Also, I like to put near the heading, v<number> <name of layout>. Gives a bit of class. My first layout was Green & Gold, so I put, v1 green and gold. Use this cool font called Redensek. Any search engine will find it. Just search for redensek, and it will find it! When you've done the first part, upload it to a server. Next, you have to make the code (dun, dun duuuuuuun!). Start off like a normal HTML document, and follow this guide: <html> <head> <title><name of site> v<number>-<name of layout></title> <div {and the rest of the code... ask pplz about it, not enough room to fit it here.>Text & HTML go here!</div> PM me for more help.

I make awesome ones that don't have graphics, you just need lots of colors. oilers35 05-08-2003, 12:44 AM I'm not sure how to make frames and divs, I'm not even sure what they are. I'm still a little confused sebluver 05-08-2003, 01:22 AM I would start with something simple, such as making an image JUST for a background. Then, just use your text. Eventually, frustration will get to you, during which you'll wish to pound your computer into the ground. After this, you sigh, recollect yourself, and make your own layout. Hey, it's what happened to me. Terrae 05-08-2003, 01:43 AM I stared at source codes for a very long time and tried to figure out how they worked, eventually I just pasted a whole bunch of codes into FrontPage and customized them, as I worked I found myself learning them. Whereas when I was looking I learned NADDA. That's how I learned. |
