Stylesuites Aqua-soft Collaberation Launched

Hey There

Well, we've been working on it for the past week, and I'm pleased to say that StyleSuites is now live, at http://www.stylesuites.com.

There is a fair amount of content on there (everything on the Milk theme, Cappuccino and Smooth Stripes), and we're working on adding more content all the time. If you have anything to add (and I'm sure you all will), then please click on "Submit your Work" at the top of the page. Even if it isn't your work, let us know about it so that we can ask permission.

It's been a privilege to work with Simon on this, and I hope that it will soon become the success we hoped it would!!

Comments and suggestions would be much appreciated

It will be a success. I'm pretty sure it would, with the community behind you all the way...

Some suggestions though.

When I navigate to the suites section, there appear a number of clickable links. I'd suggest attaching a thumbnail to each of these for easier navigation, and for greater visual impact. (Just like the sub-categories.) In fact, adding a link to the relevant programs would spice things up even more.

Darker fonts, I'm still squinting a little, yea, just a little though.

I'd see if there's more when I have the time to enjoy your site!

Great site there. Showing lots of promise!

Kudos to dappelyard and Simon! :who's your daddy:

#98733

What a coincidence.......same day as my new site launched.....thats what we call collaberation

#98757

Thanks for the comments and suggestions!

So then, is there anything you think should be added to the site/changed about the site etc etc to make it more functional or useful?

Keep the comments coming - that's what will help us to make the site a better experience for you

Cheers

Previews (click to super-size) wherever possible (icons, skins, wallz, etc). Site is fantastic. Great new asset.

#98811

I love that site!!! But you possibly give us stone-age people a chance and give us some .zips aswell? (these are just for at school cos I can't D-Load Winace @ school) (Y)

#98815

Thanks again for the comments. We'll go away and take some of them into consideration, changing a few things around.

Cheers!

Very nice. Very smooth. Very Clean. Even the forums are skinned! No one ever pays attention to the forums! I agree with Seph, please don't let it die. It has plentiful potential.

#98868

It would be nice to link to the authors of the various resources whenever there is a name to be given credit to.

...oh yeah!

I really love the minimal look, very easy to find the navigation links.

#98877

Great update. Although green fonts are kinda....weird? I supposed we're all into blue and grey here Anyway, keep it up, it's lovely (Y)

#98932

@Infinity. I've changed all the .rar files to .zip, so you can download them now.

Anyway, glad you people like the site. :shy:

#98946

Hey your site is awesome

It would be great if you could add these icons to your milk collection:

#98977

Will do - Thanks for the offer

BTW - A quick status update:

> New "Popular Downloads" feature added

> Text darkened (I think)

#98978

awesome idea!

#98983

Well, as our first day online draws to a close, we've had around 1400 hits from over 20 different countries. I think it's got off to a great start! - Let's try to keep it up....

Bandwidth providing..... :naughty:

#99050

Seen the updated site. Very nicely done.

And it's good news! (About the hits. )

Extremely promising.

#99071

@simon & dappleyard - have some time to discuss about our collaberation? If you guys not interested I will just proceed it with my own and put a skins section on my site too :6 ....its good for community actually because they have more option but bad for us......more works and more money to pay for space and bandwidth......

#99154

@alang - do we currently host any files that you would like to take over if we collaberated, or are you interesting in taking over applications etc?

#99241

will the site have custom IE toolbar buttons? becuase i have been looking for some and i cant seem to find any besides Y's Toolbar and i really dont want to use that

No...

I plan to put applications, icons, system files and tools to modified windows and my site. So your site can cocentrate on skins and themes. You can added more skins section, like skins for savanna, icq, trillian, yztoolbar etc. So that our site have a totally different materials......less headache and bandwidth usage......

And then we just put a links on our site let say I will put a links on my site name Skins & Themes and when visitors click, it will direct them to your site and you put icon & application links on your site that will redirect visitors to my site..

@ Alang - I've PM'ed you

I know this is early on down the line, but I can see a problem ahead of us....

For example, last night alone (from the current 646 downloads) we transferred well over 1gb of data. We're only working with a 6gb/month hosting account. We've now got two options:

1) Buy a hosting account with more bandwidth (eg the G5 special here - http://xitocreations.com/hostingspecials.php)

2) Find a lot of mirrors.... quickly

What do you think that we should do? - Bearing in mind that any cash spent on funding this venture would be coming straight from our back pockets.

<_<

looking good!

just add a bit more stuff (like y'z toolbar themes) and it will look like max's site, but for windows!

simple, elegent, proffesional, a very good site.
