The most non-iWeb site looking competition!

Dominic,
Great site, I like that flash presentation. I am not too keen on too much motion when I first look at a site yours is great.
Thanks for the comment on the cursor thing, I will probably get to it later. I am pretty busy with another project right now. Besides I am no flash genius and it takes me a while to get things done with it.
 
Slideshow flash

Domh. Like the site! How did you get the slideshow on the home page?
Click to expand...

I created the basic slide show in flash, then plashed the file in my .mac account then I used this site http://www.freevideocoding.com/
to generate the code for me, then using Iwebs html snippet i copied the code, you can play with the size parameters to get it looking right.

Hey Mitou,
I was wondering if you could tell me how you did the vertical slider on your site?
I don't know any flash yet. Do you (anyone) have any suggestions as to where to begin?
Your site is really nice and elegant. I like the motion of your slider - its much nicer than just a 'normal' one.
Thanks!

Can I ask if you did the other 'buttons' in photoshop? Or are those just 'shapes' in iweb?
Oh, and... why didn't you use the same 'rounded button tabs' on all of your pages? They seem much nicer than the rectangular ones...

Thanks for the kudos on the site. The site is in process of being rebuilt with the rounded tabs on on the pages. We did the most popular pages first, and have been slooooooowly getting to the other pages.

This is one major problem for iWeb, because you have basically recreate everything if you make a design adjustment. Sure, you can copy and paste or duplicate page, but it still takes a while.

Hi,
I think you are refering to the slider in the flash "news block", it is a vector graphic made with flash, and activated with actionscript.
 
My Site

MacRumors Newbie here.

I just created my site in iweb, I used this thread as inspiration on how to break away from iweb templates. So, Thanks to everybody who posted!

Here is my site:
www.23circles.com

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Nice one!
Hasn't been much going on with this thread lately, good to have some fresh blood. :)
Just my two cents, but I'm on a 12" at the moment, and the bottom half of your intro page is out of sight, and not really necessary anyway.
If you condense that page it could have more impact. (?)
(You can also put a text box around your quicktime to make that a link, so you can click on the movie, or the 'enter site' button.
I used a quicktime on my intro page, but didn't want to make it too big for loading speed... 'showing' the control helps that I think... but I never really liked the appearance of that one, so I chose not to show it on mine.
Might be worth finding a tweak somewhere to give it a different appearance.
A friend pointed me to flashden.org which is pretty awesome. Not sure what there is applicable to iweb, but if you come across anything, it would be good to hear. Thanks for breathing some life back into the thread.
-S.
 
I'm interested in what blogging templates iWeb has? Anyone tell me if there's an iWeb blog site that showcases a bunch of templates.

I'm thinking about whether or not to keep persisting with my blogger thing, try wordpress.org or even go proprietary. (One week till computer upgrade and new iLife and iWorks and other stuff. Hooraaaah!)

So I went to your site and once there I had a page with nothing other than click here to enter, I did then I have no information again, I have to click again to get a little bit of information, then you push a website design without showing anything you can do and tell me that for my money you do not garantee that the site will be up all the time. I know that no site can offer "all the time", but you actually tell us that your little server may not be up to par.
My question why should I choose your service? I think you will be lucky if people even stay as long as I did.

Or even go to the site at all when they receive a notice that the link is requesting access through port 8000. I sure never would- so I have no idea what is being offered. :confused:

Uhmmm...I'm sorry, but i didn't see any web design. The navigation was horrible, and why would anyone pay you to host their site on your server that might go down for 24 hours, when they can purchase a hosting package from GoDaddy for about the same money that has multiple redundancy?

Just a tip, always have a nav bar that allows the user to go back to the home page.
 
And it was one of the most iWeb looking things I've ever seen. It's like a high school kid trying to start a business. What, is your server an iMac? ;) Or are you getting one of those "unlimited" web-hosting plans and just reselling, with the promise of "doing the work for them" in iWeb? ;)
 
001

Yeah... must say I pretty much agree... 'nuff said.

For anyone that cares, the link i mentioned earlier is flashden.net not 'org'.
It's got some very cool, inspiring things, but I'm not sure exactly what can be used in iweb via 'snippets' or other means.
If anyone has any knowledge, I would be forever grateful...

now... back to trashing 001... for, if nothing else, missing the point...

Flashden has some great things and some very talented people who contribute. You can also get some of what is offered (it not very expensive) and use it as a learning tool.
You can embed almost anything using the snippet function in iweb. Sometimes you have to play a little with the window's size but it is not a big deal. check out this site iwebfaq.org for information on how to do it.
 
Site made for my daughter.

She is a performer, etc....it is my first iWeb and for a performer, etc. to boot, meaning a lot of pics, and info about only one subject...her. Tried to keep it interesting and each page designed specifically to each of her specific talents.

"NON-iweb"

Hey all.
Just thought I'd weigh in and give a thumbs-up to nadelmandesign.
I think what you've done is very nice!
Hey Nicholas, how did you do the slideshows...??

erfukuda, you seem to have missed the point.
This thread is more to encourage and inspire non-iweb-type designs, not just to show what you've done with standard iweb templates...
nothing 'personal'... but...

Does anyone have any good ideas or examples of 'html snippets'??
 
My non-standard iWeb Site

Great thread. Great iWeb sites. Here's one I came up with: www.perezrick.com. I think I managed to get away from that canned iWeb look altogether but I would appreciate your input. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to add in a slideshow without using one of those photo pages. Seems I could have done it with the earlier ver of iWeb, but not with the current one.
