August 9, 201016 yr I've seen a few sites recently with a great metallic honeycomb like backdrop, similar to the one used at www.davidforbes.com This cannot be a small image file simply repeated as it is much brighter in the middle than the edges... Where can you get such backdrops from... any ideas? Thank you
August 9, 201016 yr Hello q4legend they have used one big image as their background and it can be made with photoshop here is the image www.davidforbes.com

August 10, 201016 yr You can use one big image, bandwidth is not such a problem these days. I tend to use a 1px wide strip and repeat it, that way no matter how big the viewers monitor is they will always see the background. You can use the strip with a header and footer image making them say 900px wide on page using margin: auto to centre. That way you can add some interesting graphic to the main part and then have a repeating strip at the sides. It gives a good aesthetic to size/performance pay-off.
