virtual stable design

[nanni (AT)]

Hi

I have a question about the webpage design of your virtual stable - do you make them yourself or are there any pages to aks someone to do it for you or to get help?

In germany we have always a place for looking for grafics or asking someone to make one in our sim communities, but I have never read something like that in other countries...?

[gespenst, FIN (admin)]

In Finland we have differing ways to get layouts.

Option 1. To make an own one.
Option 2. To find a free-to-copy one. Either from a professional or novice made site.
Option 3. To ask for someone to do one at hevostalli.net, our major Finnish sim forum. We pay by photos, texts for horses, competing or money, with good luck you can get a free one like I got

Some people make their graphics ready themselves and ask someone to make the css codes for it.

As much as I'd love to make my own layout, it's not gonna happen without a graphics programme lol. I usually ask someone I know and that I know are great at making layouts. Usually they do them for me if they find the time

[Shelly [USA]]

I make my own and sometimes lend my services to others, if I have the time. It helps build my portfolio (as I'm a web designer for spare cash right now) so I do it for free basically Soon as I'm done with school I'll probably be back to making a few.

Shelly we need to talk again

I pretty much do designs for my stabels by myself and also for friends and people who pays (in sim game world, cash = texts for sim horses, photos, etc / real world, cash = money).

I do my graphics with Adobe Photoshop CS3 and then code the layout by myself with some notepad like Notepad ++. Here is one of my works

Wich programes do you use when working on graphics?

That Heidie looks very very nice! www.weebly.com is very popular in the Swedish Sim Game world. Most of us have our stable there. Most people just use the already made layouts, changeing pictures in them and so on. I usually edit the templates to my liking with htlm codes. Im not a pro or anything I just lik to get my own stile on things.

This is some of my work, the top one is my own stable.

1) norrholmen.internetstall.se

2) stuterivalhalla.weebly.com

3) einharjar.internetstall.se

4) comfirst.weebly.com

(and this is my old webpage for my stable)

Malin, I really like your works - most 1 and 2. You have nice brushes and you use smartly photos and texts I like! Layout 3 isn't working correctly - header starts from wierd point and part of it doesn't show. Also there is scrolls in "Välkomna till Einhärjar" header, and in both pictures ?

I've ones tried that weebly - but it seems to complicated for me - I like more to code by "hands"

[Lin Ryder (SWE)]

heidie those are some amazing work you got there
Malin, I've loved your work ever since I became a member on SISF

[Malin (SWE)]

Heidie Yeah Einhärjar is tricky, was hard to alter the codes in the first place and the girl who has it has a very hugh screen to her computer so it looks allright for her but not always for others. Sort of works on my screen to. The Scrolls I don't know about, didnt but them there atleast sneaky scrolls. You can alter weebly htlm codes as well, take some figuring them out but not that hard when you look at it. And 1 and 2 are my favourite once to, that took most work and I like them both. Nr 2 two I learned some awesome new stuff in PS and number one just because it makes me fell happy and think of spring.

Lin, oh that make me very happu to hear . I just to be envyous at does people back at the group time who did so great designs. But Im glad to hear people like my work to!
