Hi guys. I've been away for quite a while and I've been thinking about designing a brand new creatures website. The website will be called "Docking Station Galaxy" and it will be based entirely around Docking Station due to the fact I am having errors with the other games (apart from Creatures Village) and it is one of my favourites. Please submit any suggestions of which website designer I should use and what I should include on my website along with a few designing tips.  Any of you who visited my poor, miserable excuse of a website "C-Rex's Creatures Kingdom" will be pleased to here the entire website has been demolished, and I plan never to use freewebs again. |

Kompozer seems to be quite good. It's a WYSIGWYG-editor WYSIWYG = What You See Is What You Get that means you get a window where you directly place your images and texts without fiddling around with html tags and such things. it displays the site so like you will see it with a webbrowser. the keyword is "drag 'n drop" (when you want to code it by hand, you can also do that. you can switch the modes) the Kompozer site itself got made with Kompozer. lol, I think I stop here before I write a whole documentation about it XD Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

The best thing you can do is to make the web site yourself! The basics of HTML aren't difficult to learn... I made my first web page when I was nine. There's a great site called Lissa Explains It All that can teach you all kinds of neat tricks. It starts with the basics, like choosing your background colors, adding pictures and prettifying text--it's actually designed with kids in mind, so it's not too boring or hard to understand--and works upward from there. I'm still using it as a reference when I want to look up bits of CSS. Even though it takes longer, creating a web site from scratch has multiple benefits. There are some really annoying problems associated with online site editors, which are not an issue with created-from-scratch sites. For example, web pages made from scratch tend to have a smaller filesize because they lack the unnecessary "junk" coding which site editors are prone to insert (I've seen some pages where the code defining the text color is repeated ten times when it only needed to appear once). You also don't have a program limiting where you can put things on the page--left, right, top, bottom, you decide--or ugly ads being included by default; if you want ads, YOU are always able to choose which kinds of ads and where they appear on the page! Take that crappy freebie web programs! And of course, if you decide programming isn't for you, you can always go back to using editors. But at least you'll have tried, and if it is something you want to stick with, some day you may have an uber cool web site like Rascii.   |

Thanks everyone. However I don't currently feel like starting the website right now. I can't get DS to run and I'm currently not into creatures so I think I'll start it another time. Edit: Heres the link to the unfinished website. It is still lacking an adoption Center and a Hints & Tips section, but it has a page about my Pink Strawberry Norns and will eventually have some Creature interview videos (they're actually going to be a surprise) |
