For the team: Just now Privalov sent me PM, that, if we make decision to create Fresh home page, he can provide us with subdomain: http://fresh.flatassembler.net
Thank you Privalov. Regards |

yes:D, i think every fasm-support project already usuable and alive should have such homepage (ok, fresh is only one i know). When i started with fasm i didnt even notice there is a board, not even got picture about support projects from it.
go on, make that site |

Not a good layout designer here. Better at fooling with scripts.

An ideas on how the page should look (colors (eye killer background or eye friendly), fonts (monospace (Courier (New)) or sans (Helvetica,Arail,etc), sans-serif (Times New Roman, Utopia))) what it should contain (besides Fresh download), should there be images (screenshots, "button" images, logo image, etc).should the page be plain html or php? I'm open to suggestions. If any one got a picture in his/her head about how it could look like, make an image/sktech and let's see if we can make it possible _________________ ... a professor saying: "use this proprietary software to learn computer science" is the same as English professor handing you a copy of Shakespeare and saying: "use this book to learn Shakespeare without opening the book itself. - Bradley Kuhn |

Hi, Scientica.
My humble opinion about the page layout: 1.Simple, classic, light (for colors) design with sans-serif fonts -> something like Verdana. No frames. Small images. Contemporary logo - something almost white with fountain colors and multi level semi transparent images and blended text rotated on different angles. I am sure you saw similar logo pictures.
2. Sections: - About - Screenshots - several pictures - png or gif format. - Download * download the Fresh last package. * download Fresh examples - we have to write some. * links for downloading related files -> debuger and API help files. - Support - Links - to the other assemblers and assembly related stuff. 3. Technology - Plain HTML with CSS should be OK for such simple site, but it is usefull to track visits and downloads, so maybe some server side scripting (PHP ?) have to be used (of course if Privalov can give us such resources.) Regards. |

You mean sans font (verdana is a sans font, a short explanation of the difference between sans and sans-serifs: serifs have like extra lines in it like The "T" in times new roman, as you can see there are small "hooks" in the ends, while the sans version is just two plain lines. Sans-serif fonts are best for print outs and sans for screens. If you look at the top of the page you'll see the text under "flat assembler", that's a sans-serif font, and under it (the links) has a sans font, at least I find it easier to read the sans text than the sans-serif). Ok, no frames, small images, and a nice logo with differenting transparency - sound like png is the image format to use (gif only has "transparent" or "not transpranet"). 2. Great structure, the screenshots should be png (IMO, due to that I find png's smaller plus that I think gif have some patent issue making things problematic). 3. I think PHP is very good (I'm working with it and I like it (it works great with MySQL too)). _________________ ... a professor saying: "use this proprietary software to learn computer science" is the same as English professor handing you a copy of Shakespeare and saying: "use this book to learn Shakespeare without opening the book itself. - Bradley Kuhn |

Little offtopic: I think you are wrong about font names. AFAIK: the key word is "serif" are these litle lines ("hooks") at the end of the main character lines. So, "serif font" means the font WITH these lines and "sans serif" font means the font WITHOUT serifs. I am almost sure about this because the brother of my wife is a graphic designer and he gives me this info. For proofing example see the font "MS sans serif" -> it is without serifs. And see the font "MS serif" it is with serifs.
Quote: and a nice logo with differenting transparency - sound like png is the image format to use Well, I wrote it about look, not about true transparency in the image format. For example look below, at the logo of one of our main competitors. It is simple and elegant. I think that we need something similar, but with little green and maybe a turtle.

As I said, I can help with the homepage, Scientica. I've experience with both PHP and design...

background :
you could use some fasm code that would be kewl make the pic darker otherwise it would just be mixing with the actual text menu : You could make dropdown menu or sidebar menu and add this to the menu: forum (link it to this forum) and perhaps a small userbase <<been a crappy site builder |

What about two versions of the site? One with almost no images, and another which is more graphical?

Yes, "sans" is a french word meaning "without". -------- IMHO, I believe that "nice AND small" is possible.  a good part could be a structured source repository to quickly find snippets, examples, hints and tricks. I check this out. |
