Hey all, I wanna try to build my own invitation builder for my dad's work. We have a very simple invitation that I can recreate in css but I would like to let people choose there own colors and text directly on the website. The invitation has some circles and text on the circles. So basically I would like to allow people to change the colors of the circle and the background. Can someone help to find information on how to achieve this.

Thanks for the big answer. I will need some time to look at this to fully understand it though i can't believe i didn't see myself that i could better use arrays instead . I'm still learning javascript and other oo programming languages.

Haven't heard about unify yet. Gonna check it out myself . thanks for the tip

Don't know for sure if it's gonna help you but it did help me a while ago. http://webexpedition18.com/articles/how-to-create-a-multi-step-signup-form-with-css3-and-jquery/ http://jquerybyexample.blogspot.com/2012/10/5-best-jquery-form-wizard-plugins.html http://thecodemine.org/#

You might want to take a look at the small and simple cms systems out there. I'm sure you'll find exactly what you need. I have worked with Simplecms (which is free) and Veolay (not to expensive). Otherwise you can also look at WordPress or any other blog/cms. there are dozens of cms's that are lightweight or very advanced. Here are some cms's. - SimpleCms - CushyCms - Opensource Cms - WordPress - Joomla - Magento - Drupal - Concrete5 - Cms Made SImple - ModX - Umbraco - Silverstripe // i haven't tested all of them. Just heard about these cms's ...

Hey guys, I've been learning some javascript and i've tried to make my own little script for changing my header's text. I don't really know if it is the right way to do it but it works so far. But now i'm kinda stuck. Although everything works i would like to add a fading effect on the changes for a more subtle and professional look. I don't really know how to do it though. I hope someone can point me in the right direction? You can view the result here (just a rough example) function replaceText() { if(teller==1){ lettre.innerHTML="D"; lettre.style.color="#966ea1"; lettre.style.left="500px"; lettre.style.top="200px"; bigtext.innerHTML="Dynamic"; bigtext.style.left="780px"; bigtext.style.top="230px"; smalltext.innerHTML="Development"; smalltext.style.left="900px"; smalltext.style.top="230px"; } else if(teller==2){ lettre.innerHTML="T"; lettre.style.color="#759da0"; lettre.style.left="100px"; lettre.style.top="200px"; bigtext.innerHTML="Top Ranking"; bigtext.style.left="420px"; bigtext.style.top="250px"; smalltext.innerHTML="On search engines"; smalltext.style.left="610px"; smalltext.style.top="260px"; } else if(teller==3){ lettre.innerHTML="G"; lettre.style.color="#976866"; lettre.style.left="370px"; lettre.style.top="100px"; bigtext.innerHTML="General"; bigtext.style.left= "790px"; bigtext.style.top="210px"; smalltext.innerHTML="Pc & Mac support"; smalltext.style.left="790px"; smalltext.style.top="240px"; } else if(teller==4){ lettre.innerHTML="C"; lettre.style.color="#9cba89"; lettre.style.left="100px"; lettre.style.top="125px"; bigtext.innerHTML="Creative"; bigtext.style.left="400px"; bigtext.style.top="180px"; smalltext.innerHTML="Design"; smalltext.style.left="680px"; smalltext.style.top="170px"; teller=0;} teller++; } Thanks in advance

4li4s, I'm gonna take a look and follow the link you gave me tomorrow. I got 7 hours free so plenty of time to look on it. Thanks again for the support and info. Btw do you guys know if it is possible to make a sort of table in wordpress where the result's of every match comes?

Well I don't have much experience with PHP, actually close to zero. I'm planning to learn it in the coming weeks.. Is it necessary for wordpress that you know PHP?

Hey all, I have been very busy the last few weeks but i'm going into a period of more spare time. So that's why I was thinking to start learning a CMS. And after doing some research I decided to go ahead with WordPress. A local soccer team has asked me if I could update their website. (no deadline) It's a website that will be updated almost daily and will be moderated by 3-4 people who will each have a specific account to update a specific page/group of pages. The table's containing the schedule's and match results will also require some sort of database or easy management. So my conclusion was I need a more advanced platform. --> WordPress. I basically want to learn how to create website's from scratch that will be powered by WordPress so that I can make a website for the soccer team. But I also would like to know how to create custom themes and more likely convert existing html/css driven website's to a wordpress theme. My dad has an account on Lynda.com so I took a look over there and found 2 video's that attracted me for some reason. Here are the video's Video 1 - here Video 2 - here Are these video's good to learn to do my purposes in using WordPress. Or does anyone have a better guide/way/tutorial on how to accomplish this? Also any tips are more than welcome since I don't have much knowledge about WordPress or any CMS (advanced one) Thanks in advance

Not completely but close. I want to create a horizontal website but with an interactive background. So when you are on the home page you will have circles on the background when you scroll to the right (next page) the circles scroll with your movements and change to squares on the next page those squares change to stars or something... So based on your scrolling movements they change shape

I have changed the whole idea behind the design. (Had too from school ) Now i have to create a nice looking real designers website with horizontal scrolling. So I was thinking to have a white background (full page) and then add some shapes. (let's say circles) Those shapes will scroll together with the page so they go on to the following one. I think that's not that hard to make but I wanted to go even further. Would it be possible to let the shapes change? Example: Page 1 -------------- Page 2 ---------------- Page 3 circle scrolling square scrolling triangle

I've done my research already and noticed many people where using tablets and smartphones to visit my website so I was thinking to create a horizontal scrolling design and only use it with the size of tablets.

Hey all, I've been studying a while on new forms of webdesigns and lay outs and saw many sites having just a single page but divided with anchors to let it look like multiple pages. So basically you scroll down(or up) or click on the navigation to go from one page to another. This made me start thinking, since I'm more active on my Ipad and Asus prime than on my computer. Is it reliable to create a layout where people have to slide/scroll horizontally instead of vertically. I think in this way it's much easier for people on tablets and smartphones. However the responsive part will be quite hard, won't it? I was hoping that some people here could give me some advise as for how to make the layout, structure etc. Is it a good or rather a bad idea to do it in this way? greetz

Well the money wont be a problem since this is for a good friend of mine. But it's just tthat i can't seem to find a good color scheme for the same design and since he wants a webshop in the future i think it would be a good idea to create a new design (more suited for a webshop design aswell) or not?

Anyone?

i see yea i just looked pretty quick and thought it was a link xp. And i don't say the font is that bad i just want to say that if you doubt about it you could search for an alternative. greetz

I like it. But there are some things I would change. First of all your name is quite difficult to read (probably because the clouds are grey and the text also), and also the font (looks like circus?) isn't the best you could place there. And second, the ribbon saying portfolio: maybe a different more brighter color so it is really an eye-catcher. That's my opinion ofcourse. Other than that great job. I like the structure and color scheme and ofcourse the Responsiveness of your website. I would to know how you did the dropdown button for the menu when you watch the site on mobile-size.

if you can, you should make it responsive so your website or rather the header, footer and content adapt to the size of the browser/screen of the person that is viewing the website. if you dont want to do this, then you can use a standard width and height. most of the time people use 960 wide pages ( searh for the 960 grid if you design in photoshop first. ) others say 1000 px is the way to go (easier to calculate resppnsive changes) for the height well there isnt a standard for this one. Some prefer large webpages (like 2-3 pages) others prefer the smaller ones and just let it fit ion the screen without having to scroll. colors are completely different for every design. but you can always search for color schemes to get some inspiration.

Hey all, i received an e-mail from one of my customers saying that they need a new website. They have recently launched their first website (g-floors.eu) and now they want a new one for their main company. This is the story of their companies. The Top-Level company is called G-U-I-D-O Surfaces. - this goes from painting to wood techniques and interior decorating. The other company is actually a sort of daughter company of that one. G-Floors is as its name suggest more busy in floor and concrete design. its website is www.g-floors.eu Now my question: Can anyone give me some advise ? Like should i use the same design (dark background and a lighter G but then in the colors of the top level company, which are grey - white - red - black) Or should i create a totally unique website ? They have also let me know that in the future a gallery and a webshop will be requested. And those will also be my responsibility. thanks in advance

Hey all, i'm having trouble with centering a webpage it looks nice on my screen (macbook pro 13 inch using chrome) but i did a browsertest and it looks like the slider is of a bit in other browsers like chrome and firefox on windows. Is this due the browsertest or is this really the case i don't know but i do know i would like to get it solved. For now, i just used a large image as bg so that i could try to make the slider work. files are attached. index.html style.css orbit.css

I'll surely check them out. I have a client that wants cms (if i can manage to do it) and he asked me to use a facebook- timeline like design.

Alright i'll give wordpress a try.

Can you explain me a bit ? I don't really understand what you mean with expandability? Like in what context / direction

Which CMS is the easiest to design for? SInce i don't really have experience with cms's, and i'm looking for a cms where i can use the design i made for a normal html/css based site

I suggest you to check out mediaqueri.es there are some great examples of responsive designs that change based on the browser size rather then on the device.
