I have managed to pull Heather into the design process for the main website (woot), and now have some actually challenges instead of just saying “meh, looks good enough.” Its a good thing, and I think the website is going to look awesome if I can implement everything we talked about.
First off I wont have to try and come up with text for the front page that doesn’t sound dumb, Heather can do that! 🙂
Second off, once we pick colors, pictures and whatnot, I will have to figure out CSS wrangling to get things to be the right colors, and formatted around pictures. I don’t expect that to be so hard, but who knows.
lastly, trying to get Gallery to pretend to be a cohesive part of the website is kinda a pain, using the proper theme, it at least presents the pictures in a non-painful way. Heather asked that the background be black, and low and behold, the “slider” theme has an option for a “black” color scheme… only its not black. Should be easy enough to fix, I just need time to dig around in the color settings. Then I run into the fact that “slider” doesn’t leave me an easy place to inject a link back to “home”, nor dose it seem to care that I don’t want the picture file names displayed.
I am looking forward to Saturday though, I should have some time to beat on the website
