Making the site

Since today we now use Lytebox to ‘pop up’ images on Helpalot.

Here is an example.

It looks nice, but it might take a little bit of extra time for the user. What do you think? Do you like it or would you rather see something more basic?

Other progress made lately:
- I’ve improved the lay-out of the personal page and addes some fields.
- I’ve fixed some major IE6 lay-out bugs.
- I’ve improved a number of small details on the news, evaluations and messages part.

Feedback from Sjors:

“Oranje ziet er goed uit, zelf zou ik denk ik gaan voor logo 1 waarbij het beta vervangen is door het riddertje uit 2″

Here’s how that would work:

It works ok, I’m not sure on the size of Sir Helpalot. If the logo becomes small, there is not much left of him.

It might be a good thing is that he’s standing on the word ‘trust’. As if this knight is defending the trust of the charities personally.

Also the logo seems to ‘balance out’ to the right a bit much. Do you think this is a bad thing?

I’ve been working on the logo again. What do you think?

Also, what do you think of the slogan “Charities we trust”?

I’ll number them so you can refer to them (logo’s placed in random order):

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

For now I changed the logo on the site to this:

I have this cloud background in the top of the site, I’m not sure if I want to keep it like that.

Here’s a screenshot on my new design of the charity page. I guess this is about how it should look in the near future.

Here are two images you can add on MSN as an icon. Download them (right-click), and in MSN click ‘more’ on your icon overview. There you create new icons.

Here’s a small one just for Helpalot

If you’d like to try to make a Sir Helpalot animation, I can send you a file to work from.
