Chris Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Yeah I've been hinting at a redesign for the main website for quite some time now, finally Dennis has got around to doing it for us ( I would do it myself but Dennis is so much better at Photoshop there is no point, and I'll be doing all the PHP/HTML anyway) Dennis says he is 60% complete with it now, thats just the main theme though, we'll have different colours for each game's section of the site. I keep nagging at him to get it done So far he has showed me and a few people I showed last night a preview of the header and background texture. http://www.d-cre.net/tgp/preview_header_bg.jpg What do you all think? Everyone has liked it so far, comments, suggestions, questions are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriaan Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Well not much to see, but he did a good banner, so I gues the site will be good. Sorry but who the hell is Denis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 Since loads of people seem to not know Dennis I shall explain (part of the reason I kept this site going he was ) Back in the day (a couple of years ago) The GTA Place was beginning to be noticed, I had just bought the domain and we had PHP available, and thus wanted a forum. At that time Dennis owned GTAXplorer.com (doesnt exist any more) and had a few mods and skins on there. We affiliated for a while and we both wanted the same stuff (forums, downloads etc.) so we merged the sites. I got all the downloads and we decided to get PHPBB forums (that was a mistake) We both adminned for a while. Later I learned of his awe-inspiring graphical abilities in Photoshop, and whenever we got a new design, Dennis would make the images for me, I would do all the other stuff on the site. Dennis has always been sub-active in the past, and is now inactive on the forums, we talk on MSN though, and he's still admin because he is someone I can trust if something goes wrong and nobody else is able to sort it out. Anyway I helped him out with PHP quite a few times, so he is now making a layout for us, effectively as a return I guess. That's probably all you need to know.

Spaz The Great Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Uh-oh, copying GTAWH? They use different color schemes and a different banner for each game section. Looks decent. I still kind of like the current layout. I'll have to see the finished product, as you haven't showed us much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 Copying GTAWH? GTAgaming do the same, as do many other sites, and besides we already have different colours I just never had time to make the banners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airashii Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 looks very promising. I can't wait to see it all put together, i'm sure that it will look very nice when its all done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryan Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 (edited) That new design is gonna be a big change! It might take some getting used to...

I hate when n00blings think they can help experienced Admins do their job. Also out of all the GTA sites I'm pretty sure we have the most abundant source of emoticons out there, as if we need even more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Valentino Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 lol at Cizzam. I like the banner. Will there be a new skin added to the forums and website to match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Well, yes the website will have a new look. That was the point of this topic. Keep the forums the same, and if you do make a new skin, I'll still use OrangeGreey, it's The GTA Place that I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
