Spudinski Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) I thought I'd share some of my recent work on here, since I don't get to do that a lot. I made myself a new website over the weekend, but I got bored and didn't fill it with any content - as always. Link: http://www.nand.co.za Whad'ya guys think? Actually, also tell me what I can improve. I did this as a potential attraction for employers/clients later on. I had an idea to write everything in cryptic code to show off, but I didn't think too many people would appreciate my efforts for it. But, please comment on my code as well(or that which you can see).

W3Theory || Peter Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Yeah it showed me. Took a little while to load, but that can be due to me using the internet from Starbucks. I think it's pretty nice when the images finally loaded. Very clean and simple. Would you place your client work in the background? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning a grid layout of screenshots/images of my projects to fade in and out like the current(big) backgrounds, but just individual tiles. I did create a perloader for the huge hi-res images though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_bertrand Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I quiet like it, it's the kind of sites you see made in flash yet it's not, pure HTML / CSS / JS, so it deserves some kudos. Now the question is, would I use such design myself? Probably not, but still, I do like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rulerofzu Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Concept wise yeah I like it. The background images need to be done so they fit exactly but other than that its a nice design. I would like to see how your going to integrate content into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The background images need to be done so they fit exactly but other than that its a nice design. I would like to see how your going to integrate content into it. I noticed that at work.. 20-odd inch screen with they're resolutions make my images look small. I'm thinking of using Kendo UI for the interface itself, but the rest I'll fine tune to standardise the look of all the content. I'm also planning on pulling Wordpress posts into the "Artikels" section, but I have by doubt of it due to the recent security flaws of it. Looking for alternatives though, rather than writing a blog engine myself - suggestions welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seker Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Update. Got it to load in FireFox, but still nothing in IE and Chrome. And I dig it. Though, due to, maybe, my connection, I'm having some resolution issues with the fonts. Everything else loads fine, though. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octet Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Safari doesn't like it either. Just tried in Firefox, no luck and I can't ping the domain but I can ping the IP. Edited July 16, 2012 by Octet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of curiosity, what does http://216.18.193.141/ give you guys? The fonts - should display correctly now. I added the proper mime types to my apache configuration. (Even though chrome still moans about it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudinski Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Looks like the default Apache server page, a Heading 1 saying 'It Works!' Well, CloudFlare reports no issues, and my server is... I want to say perfect, but I won't jinx it. It's probably a DNS issue somewhere within the *internet* then. Mind posting a traceroute to www.nand.co.za, and also one to lady.nand.co.za. Damn, those are becoming too regular nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven1992 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 it loads well in chrome but one problem you need to add english in the language Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djkanna Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 it loads well in chrome but one problem you need to add english in the language I understand the whole 'making the web multilingual', however just looking at the domain name gives a good indication it's quite possible it won't be in English.

Spudinski Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 Haha Lithium.. My website is in Afrikaans, and my audience is either fully Afrikaans or bi-lingual. Furthermore, there are many tools available online to help with translation; Google Chrome has an excellent built-in translator. Though, adding English isn't that much of a deal, it's just a few template files that needs cloning.. but I really don't see the benefit of it.

Lithium Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 No harm done! I was just messing up with you Spud! And just in case... i'm too lazy to use translators ;) But still, HTML5... SHOW OFF! :) Looks nice though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
