Django Project

[Jeff Wheeler]

Nothing new, but I realized this had probably never been posted in Kool Sites, and it's definitely one of the most beautiful CSS sites around.

This time, nobody can argue about the code, either, because it's beautiful (and open-source :P, just go to the Trac install).

Beautiful :thumb:

[Templarian]

See nokrev and yes this is a cool site. Unlike that last post. I love the colors in this one.

[designer007]

nice work :)

[bwh2]

it's alright. i mean it's a pretty clean design. but i don't know if it's a kool site (or even a cool site).

[Jeff Wheeler]

Ah man… I was sure nobody would question the awesomeness (wow, that's actually a word!) of this site. :P

[DDD]

Your like the story of the "Boy who cried wolf". Except in this case its the "Boy who cried Kool Site". I dont think I will bother looking at your kool site posts anymore :lol: This site = cheese pizza.

[Jeff Wheeler]

:P

Seriously… I can understand the opinions in the other threads, but this site is pure coolness. What do you dislike about it?!

[DDD]

I mean: the correct question for me is: What is to like? I just see a 2 column fluid layout. Nothing moving there. Colors are ok I guess. But this is your style tho, but for me it is over-board simple. I like simplicity but this is totally devoid of art IMO. But it does serve its purpose. But this sub-forum isnt call "Purposeful Sites". Dunno, but like they say "What ever finds your lost remote"..:lol:

[Jeff Wheeler]

It's three columns? :h:

[DDD]

interior pages are 2 :z:

[Jeff Wheeler]

But homepage is prettiest, and has three columns. :P

As for the colors… I really, really like them. Same goes to the typography, especially in the headers and code samples.

[J]

^ I guess, Nokrev is a programmer. He even says "I won't touch Flash! Oof!" :P

But this is the Designers area, and we need some really cool, fresh and original sites posted here

[DDD]

the typo = blah, typo actually is better on the interior pages.

I can respect a simple site too, but this is just crazy simple. Just colored boxes for pete's sake. No design went into this at all, besides matching up the corners of the boxes.

[Jeff Wheeler]

Surely we can at least agree the logo is pretty? :D

[bwh2]

But this sub-forum isnt call "Purposeful Sites".ha.

[J]

Hmmm...

Its anybody's guess why nokrev's threads run for so many pages [:P]

[Anogar]

I'm sure it's impressive, but it's really rather boring to anyone who isn't messing their shorts over the beauty of the code.

[Jeff Wheeler]

You can browse the source code for the site in the Trac install (“Code” in the nav).

Jeff wanted me to help him argue that Django's site kicks arse.

*argue*

[DDD]

I'm sure it's impressive, but it's really rather boring to anyone who isn't messing their shorts over the beauty of the code.
:lol:

[Jeff Wheeler]

Gah… Harish agreed it was awesome on IM. :(

[hl]

Indeed I did.

*argues more*

[Jeff Wheeler]

;P

[J]

wow... this is still alive and fresh

[DDD]

J are you noKrevs arch nemesis? You do realize by posting you are helping to keep it fresh...:lol:

*argues back at harish*

[Jeff Wheeler]

*argues with Harish against DDD*

I can play, too. :P

[Esherido]

* argues that they should stop arguing with each other and do something productive *

(And so can I. ;))

[Jeff Wheeler]

But you can't properly use the [whisper] tag. :P

[Esherido]

But I forgot the [whisper] tag and didn't feel like looking it up. And changing the color to a light gray is so much easier than printing [whisper]

[Jeff Wheeler]

Except that it doesn't change the size, also. :P

[Esherido]

So? Big deal, it doesn't really mean anything?
I can do it any size I want.

[Jeff Wheeler]

[Esherido]

:|
What do you mean by :Blank Stare:, it doesn't make sense?

[Jeff Wheeler]

I mean you posted something that could not be replied to, except by a lack of reply, which is exactly how I replied. ;P

Ok, ok. You started it though, by pointing out I was too lazy to type the [whisper].

[Jeff Wheeler]

Yeah, ok, I'll take the blame, if you agree djangoproject is a beautiful site. :-/

[Esherido]

Not bad in my opinion. Though it does look a lot like Django's own site.

[DDD]

I wish you 2 would just go get a room or something :lol:;P

[Jeff Wheeler]

@DDD: :lol:

@Esherido: It is Django's site… :h:

[hl]

*argues some more*

[simplistik]

bleh, looks like my poo after eating lots of collard greens

[Esherido]

Drink milk with green food coloring in it, that's what I did when I was 5 years old and it worked like a charm. DDD, nokrev and I do have a room, it's called the Saturday Night Fights.

[killahert]

no offense ... but site is not cool at all

[Esherido]

^ Now that I've fallen in love with Django, the site looks uber awesome and uber cool. It's you that "is not cool at all". :chinaman:

[Cyrus_DV]

I am siding with DDD on this one.
This is clever code but not a kool design site.
It is fast and it has its place as it is all business but there is no clever design here what so ever.

[Esherido]

* Sigh * Django is for developers not designers. If you want to see clever designs go to some dumb lame XHTML, ZOMGWTFBBQ Web 2.0 showcase web site. "Kool" doesn't just apply to design. Why does it seem all the n00b Flash'ers and designers here have no respect for the powerful software that makes their designs work?

[Jeff Wheeler]

I think it's hot, both by design and code.

[Esherido]

^ Same do I.

[Digitalosophy]

This site really does suck balls. But I really do like the logo.

[Esherido]

^ De gustibus non disputandum est.

[azdak]

so i sat and stared at this thing for a while thinking it was pretty manky looking... then pulled in my browser window. 16:10 throws that **** off pretty bad, yo. Looks lovely in 4:3-ish, though.
