As a challenge, I'm taking on a huge personal challenge in web design: making a complete website myself ... with color :crazy:
Seriously, if you've ever seen my main site (or my sig, or my avatar, or pretty much everything else I've made online), you know how big of a step this is for me ;D

So, what do you think? Whipped it out in 30 minutes, and it's my second website layout ever.
-
Color?
But it's in mostly black and white...
Looks nice, though.
Also, may I ask which hosting service you use?
-
Color?

More color than I've ever used before XD
I use 000webhost, as always. It's free and fast but kinda unstable (I've already had the database crash for two whole days, and I've personally made the main server crash >.>).
-
I suck at web design x.x so I usually use someone else's stuff. MojoPortal is a good open source one.

My main site (not this one but the root /) was actually based on a theme, but since I started using HTML/CSS myself I've edited it so much that it's now almost completely different from that theme.
EDIT: Added a Discuss tab.
-
wow, that looks pretty nice. I got bored and I enjoyed translating part of that text from Latin. :P
oh, one more thing, I'm going to try to set a up a google apps thing for this, I'll PM you with info later. ;)
-
I'm not allowed to edit CNAME or A records, unfortunately. I think that's what Google Apps relies on.

-
Latin?
-
Placeholder text. (http://lipsum.com/)
-
Looks good, you don't want the colors to overload the user and yours dont. It's nice and organized. Nicely done for a personal site.
-
I like it, but for progress bars you should have the rest of the bars on black background I think. I think the site fits well the game type by the way.

What do you mean? Having the remainder of the bar (not filled in) be black? I can do that.

Thanks. The colors are taken straight from the Contra logo :D

No real info yet; it's all filler text still. Sorry.

Looks very cool indeed, and yeah I just noticed you're a greyscale pro :P
-
Updated the stats and logs. Now that page actually serves a function :D
Which reminds me: I need to update my sig. That'll push it over the 10000 byte limit though.

I think co.cc supports it. Although hosting on co.cc is REALLY slow. :P
-
.co.cc offers hosting?
-
.co.cc offers hosting?
I don't think so, I prefer to use 000webhost together with .co.cc.
-
.co.cc offers hosting?
I think so, you can upload your site there, last time I checked.
-
Hmm, there's webhosting.co.cc (http://webhosting.co.cc) but it redirects to www.co.cc...
-
I see you added the Alpha version there too :)
-
Yep, I'm hosting the actual files there. Spares other sites the bandwidth, since I have a lot of that left that I'm not using :P

Yeah but be careful with bandwith. The bars and stuff it's all PHP or JS?
-
Plain HTML/CSS. I didn't do an admin system there because I thought that would be overkill.
-
I like the site so far. :D

Moved to a new host with unlimited bandwidth, so I don't have to host the screenshots on Omni anymore (eating up the bandwidth here) :D
And the discussion page (http://contra.clrhome.org/talk/) now has a link here.

Seems like they removed it :-\
-
I also can't login :S, I get MySQL error in the PHP.
-
Should be fixed now.
-
Er, I updated it. A lot.
Better/worse?
-
It looks nice to me :)
-
Even bigger update! http://contra.clrhome.org/ complete with feed, progress, and other info, all on one page.
Yeah, there's a blank box, but I'm planning to put something there soon. I'm gonna start working on this project again :D
EDIT: I think this is the first time I made something that works in IE...
