    :: Digital Concepts Information ::

    Digital Concepts was started in late 2005 and has become one of the premeir graphics forums. We created it to be more of a forum for the user.

    :: What were looking for? ::
    We want a template for a webdesign website. We want to have some area's about the forum on the main website. Such as a featured Artist area probably a SOTW area and some other things that have to do with the forum. I'm not sure how many different pages or links were interested in though. I know for the webdesign part of the site we would want a Portoflio, Latest News, Services, Clients, Contacts Pages or links. I'm still thinking about some more stuff that's just generally what a webdesign site has though. It really needs to be --- and unique design for a template were looking for the best of the best.

    AHHHHHHHHHH! I had written like a book. ANyways i'll post again.

    Merged Post:


    Alright here is the template I created. I'll keep this post as abridged of the original as possible but there are a few things you need to now. Alright I have this template coded and its very customizable. More text less pics so it should load pretty fast. Its professionally coded and like i mentioned in my previous post links can be customized if you dont like em. For example in you forums the navigation is all images but here its text will onmouserovers as you can see in the home button. The mouse obviously didn't show up but thats why the home button is different color than the rest. the heading are also customizable. This template itself has images of about 100kb (maybe more not sure) but I have couple of tutorial pics and the sig all add up to about 200kb so in regards to dialup users, it is really helpful. If look at loading speed of 56kbps the whole thing should load in about 4-5 seconds but thats not how it is so in regards I would estimate about 10-15 second if i'm not wrong. Anyways the preview itself is low quality but the template itself is higher. I'm just uploading the pic and if you like it and choose this, then I will upload the coded version. NOTE I have already coded this template.
    Edit-note that the heading above the contents box can also be changed and are text.

    Coded:

    Question:

    I'm wondering when we make a template whether all rights are reserved to you guys. Like transversyles you guy have the skin but other people can use it if they purchase it. I'm wondering as to whether or not our templates work that way. Lets say I make a template give it to you guys and then put it up for sale so other people can also buy/use it!
