New Website Design!

[HeinzPeter]

It's time.. the second website design was made really quick.
Without any graphics or cool styles. Some remember the first layout..

If you are able to work with graphic tools like photoshop or GIMP, please
do some something nice for our new website. Feel free to use other colours.
It should be some minecraft design and not a copy of other sites.
I just need a kind of picture to make a valid xHTML design of it.
I'm thinking of big buttons with shades in it and bigger fonts..

Would be really great if you leave some ideas here.

Maybe something along the lines of this?

Click

I'd say lighter and really that's an example of how some pages look with minecraft designs.

I also love this.

Clickyy

Nice pages and I bet some easy resources can be found to do them.

Cool 'ideas' - yea, i like to have our own design.
Copyright free. Made by us/community.
I like the second one, friendly minecraft design - not so dark.

Already did the new font style (blockstyle!).

[Stxyzth]

Yeah I'd only linked those so people get an idea for designs and what I'd think looks good. Not many minecraft site designs out there so we've got a pretty big margin to fill.

I like the block style font I think we need like a cave or some sort of shadow area to bring the text out and stand out.

Hopefully I can make something cool

First thoughts about that:

grass - dirt - stone - lava - bedrock
some ores between.
Not sure how to use that on xHTML but I hope heinz will tell me that later.
(a big picture or at like css, sorry no idea about that)

I also like that font ^^

The header can be a static image file. About 200px height.
The headline (including menu or stuff) can be about 80px. or built in the main site.. somehow.
Then there has to be a dynamic part in the middle, the content box. That image may be 1px height to stretch it.
And finally the footer..

I just need an image - static - so i can cut it into its parts and create a html layout.

[HeinzPeter]

Soooouuuu, finally - the preview is online.
We have to fix the content box.
Some nice box design .. ingame? .. block art .. don't know.

Tell us if you like it!

It looks really great i am happy we can finally see it. I would just suggest putting lava on the bottom of page and maybe some nice buildings (or anything) on the ground

EDIT: Oh it changes over time!

EDIT2: There is bug in player stats, the last seen is veeeery wide. Its because the link has class="block" and at main.css on line 72 there is:
.block {
background: url("../img/background_bright.gif") repeat scroll 0 0 #D7D7D7;
border: 1px solid #585B5E;
margin: 20px auto;
padding: 6px;
width: 1056px;
}

EDIT3: Same for nicknames and other links in the table

I know that kyborek, but thanks.
There is a notice about fixing it.

It's done. The new website is online.
I hope everything is fine and the overview is still good for you.
