CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

I was told that green and black aren't one of the most friendly color schemes online. So I worked the whole evening yesterday doing some revamping to the layout. Nothing too brilliant...I just changed the color scheme, some graphics and navigational links.

Here's what the original one looks like.

Current Layout
Click beyond splash page to see main page. I guess I need not say that but...


Here's what the new one will look like.

SplashPage

Main Page


This is embarrassing. I can't do php and made the mistake of getting a hosting package that does not support php (well, I might upgrade it later on). If anyone knows of some tips or tricks which can help make website maintenance easier than plain old HTML, my ears are all open listening.

Alright, please let me know what you think. Thanks!

"WARNING: This site contains Christian articles and artworks" ... lol. Can't be having the easily impressionable minds of the public reading that! ^_^

The colour contrast is much better in this new version.

While the color contrast and some things are well done, I would have to say I like the old style better. Just in general and the general affect that it produces. Not that I would mind the second version.

That was fun, okay Mave you know what? I LOVE THOSE COLORS SO MUCH!!!:rock:

Chibi and I were looking at this and thought, wow, we really like it. I was thinking, however, the splash page has this mafioso dude sitting back in a chair. Yo, wanna make a deal? *sneaks off to the back to show some Christian artwork* *hehe*

I do like this so much better than that dark color scheme. When you first told me about it I was kind of scared it would look like a pumpkin, but it's great. ^_______^

Thats sick Mave, In the comic thread in the book forum the guysa were all reaving about some 'random' graphic novel called kingdom come... and i was like I didn't realise you did it Thats sweet. Good on you

I'm NOT responsible for that GN you guys were talking about (I've seen that thread). Alex Ross (I think) created that series and believe me, his stuff and mine are -completely- different altogether. >_<;;;;; So sorry for the mix-up, I don't know anything about the other series until I saw that thread.

Meanwhile, everyone, thank you for your comments. *bows* hehe Chloe, "Let's make a deal, sell your soul to Jesus and in return, He will give you salvation and eternal life of abundancy!" I intend to post this new layout this weekend and keep working on the contents. Yahoo!

^__^ oh hey! I like the new look! The red and gold does look a lot more homely!!! I didn't hate the old look, but something new is always refreshing.

Perhaps you mean "comely?" Homely is the antonym, unless you mean it to be an adjective "like a home."

yeah exactly! "Like a home." ^_^ sorry if I said the wrong thing. XP

Yeah, I found that particularly amusing as well.

Great job Mave! I really like it, and it does look much more inviting then the previous scheme.

Cool Beans! (Not sure if people still say that )

Hey Mave,
What are you looking for in terms of hosting, etc? If we knew what your current host allowed you to do, it might make it easier to help figure out what you can do to make the updates easier. Do they allow Server Side Includes (SSI) - for example, ".shtml" documents? If so, I can show you how to use those to make your site easier to administer. There are other tricks, too, but that one and the PHP ones are the easiest.

Thanks sooo much, OldPhil! *glomps*

...ehh, let me ask the host what they allow me to do. >_<;;; I should know this but I really don't. I'll get back to you when I find out.

Everyone else, yeahh! You have no idea how much your posts encourage and motivate me. Thank you thank you! Glad the color scheme is generally pleasing to everyone, I shall keep working hard! XD XD *dances*

Wow I was really behind on the latest version of your mangas. @_@ (I'm not anymore though!) and I like the new layout a lot! ESPECIALLY the splash page. I saw that and I went "ohhhh cool!!!111oneoneone"

I like both ones. But maybe the old one, just a little bit better. On the original I just know I really liked the effect of the image on the splash page! It was really nice. But I think that changing a layout for a website has to be done sometime, and I think you should, since the old one has been up for so long... ^-^;;

I love the first one, the second one's okay. The first one is very unique (especially in colour scheme but something can be definetly said about green not really being a web colour - I love it but it seems a little dark green).

Great jorb!
