Hey all!

I've made a temporarily splash website for my dad's company called Firma Frans Ernst. Not that is only design so far, it will use my own CMS system on a later time but this is as far as I've gotten in 3-4 hours.

Give me your thoughts! Oh yeah, it's dutch so what the button text says is: "Firma Frans Ernst is still under construction. Please come again later on. Our apologies for the inconvenience.".

Thanks,
Mark

I seriously forgot the send the link, *doh*. Here you go;

(Dit moest ik editen van Patrick :P)

Link please :)

ben benieuwd ;)

Sorry mate, just posted it. My bad. I've added some wicked tooltips as well. I couldn't get all the information I wanted into the little space I had. It was either some onMouseOver Javascript or this wicked tooltip. Modified by me of course.

Thanks alot your guys, doin' my best huh. Learned a lot from it once again.

Got a good question for you guys tho. Sometimes, when a <link rel...> stylesheet is called uppon, the end of the url to the css is somewhat like this; ...style.css?v=1. How can you make css dynamic like that?

Ok, well, this is how I'd do it. I wrote this code up quickly, haven't been able to test so sorry if it doesn't work!!
style.php - this file checks the requested id and includes the right css file. Code can be editted quite easily, not sure where you want to get css data from but I just include css files from a folder called css. The files I include are style[idhere].css eg style1.css.
How, to get the php file to display as a css file, we need to do a mod rewrite using htaccess. So make a .htaccess file with the following:
Now, in your html include your "css file" in header eg:

A common practice is to label the stylesheet URLs with version information simply because the developers can update the file but the old one might still be used by a visitor's browser. To refresh the cache, a new URL is used: the incremented version number included.

That said, if you don't mind the overhead, it can be useful to load stylesheets dynamically like Sam mentioned above.

I strongly like this design..
It's clean, and stylish. Simple, but effectful. This is like.. the best type of designing ways I know! Great work! And those slides are awesome.
Can't see you calling them though in your sourcecode :O

It's in the sitetools.js huh? Did you write the function yourself?

Geen enkel probleem :) (No probs for you non dutch speakers )

Ye, I looked at the phatfusion before

Well, still.. I'm .. overwhelmed by the design
GOsh.. :P Who made the design? If you did it yourself, do you know any place where you can download/buy designs like these?

I made it, it's 100% original and copyrighted to my own company (Mark Ernst Productions) and licensed to Firma Frans Ernst.

I used the Fx.Elements plug in from Mootools and edited it using CSS and xHTML. The design has been made with photoshop since it's on a fixed resolution I do not need it to be 100% vector.

The overlay (divoverlib) has been made as well with the Mootools Sam provided.

It gives me great pleasure that you like the design mate. If you want, I can always make a somewhat similar design for you. Of course, not for free.

Sam, you can directly link to PHP file.

The header function on the PHP file makes sure that content is parsed as text/css.

That does it all. You don't need mod_rewrite unless you want to make it all pretty.

I know, I just wnated to make it pretty for him, since in his example, he mentioned a ".css" file too, basically the php file but made pretty
