html and making a site

[Chi's Finest]

Hey, I plan on making a site dedicated to Brawl, and will turn it into a huge thing once the game is actually out. I would like some help with someone who knows html good to help with designing a layout for the whole site. PM me. Thanks.

i'll try it, in my free time. but what kinda layout would you like? I'm not that good at tables tho. here's my sites, not that good, but lemme know what you think layout-wise.

What exactly would this site hold? Character profiles? Player guides? Screenshots? How can you guarantee that it will "turn into a huge thing"? What will draw people back for more? What will keep it new and interesting?

Well I've made a few test pages. I just registered the domain and it should be up soon.

To see how I have the basic layout of the site, take a look at:

Keep in mind I had no knowledge whatsoever of any kind of html, and the site is made up entirely of basic html.

The overall layout doesn't look too bad. The first big step I'd take is change the font from Times New Roman. You need to give the site a unique look. Sticking with TNR gives it too much of a home-made feel and doesn't really hold my attention. Don't choose anything too radical or hard to read; just make it different.

Yeah, not bad. I like the idea of having the character profile shots lining the right..but it's all so simple. Do you know complex html/css?

 

[Marthmaster92]

what would be nice is if you could link the pics on the right to bios of the characters, ie, where they originated, that kinda stuff.

 

[Chi's Finest]

I planned on changing the character profiles to actual links when you click on each character's pictures.

No, I don't know complex html or css. I leanred what I could about html in a few hours and just went with it. If anyone does know complex html or css, PM mer and maybe you could help out with the site or some of the coding.

EDIT: Oh, almost forgot, the site that I launched can be reached here:

I have several dozen ideas for improving this site. It's a good start. If you want my assistance, let me know.

 

[Chi's Finest]

[Marthmaster92]

I changed the layout on my site. comments welcome.

you should choose some things to livein it up abit, and add some nice GFX.

I think a more animated site and new fonts will improve the site definitely.

 

[Marthmaster92]
