How many of you have created really cool PERSONAL websites? I'm not talking about .mac websites.....I mean real websites which use Flash and other cool goodies!

If you got one....post a link!

Not to be the MacNN police, but this has nothing to do with OS X.

Even when this was the OSX+iApps forum, it still wouldn't fit in here...

Perhaps "Show me what web sites you have built with OS X" would work...

I'm working on my portfolio website, though it's definitely not finished. It's temporarily located at

Why is that websites built in OS X look so bleak or washed out? I guess Jaguar messes with colors and you really cant draw good illustrations in OS X because mouse movements are not smooth

I must have my color sync set weird... I notice my site looks bleaker on the computers at school... you're right. Looks semi-vibrant over here though.

I like that. Simple yet effective.

Is it just me or does "Advanced Web Design" have a different coloured table than the other headings? Maybe it's because it's under a darker colourer and it plays tricks with my eyes

Yeah, all those grey backgrounds for the headers are the same value. But the gradient behind them makes them look different depending on what's behind them. Sometimes I like this effect, sometimes I don't. For now, I'll leave it.

Thanks for the kind words.

My site (in sig) was made mostly in OS X, I think. I forget exactly, because it's been an ongoing project since the days of OS 9. I've redone most of it since then, though.

Hey why not. Here's my half @ssed site i put together one night before an interview. It's has some....but not nearly all of my work. I kind of taylored it specifically to what I the "the man" would like to see that day...oh so many months ago. Also, most of it looks and runs (flash) like butt in Safari, , but I'm redoing the whole thing and adding all my work. Eh, whatever. Also, it will only be a short time before http://www.cougarsrock.com will destroy you with rock and roll. Ok, the beer is wearing off, I'm tired.

Oh yeah, the link:

I use OS X.

and you really cant draw good illustrations in OS X because mouse movements are not smooth
What do you mean you can't draw good illustrations in X? My mouse is actually a lot easier to control in X IMHO.

Did these in X...







Don't know what you mean by cannot draw good illustrations...

All the flash in http://www.terminator3.com was done in OS X. Much of the webdesign was also done in OS X (some in OS 9).

Click on sig. Built with BBEdit, Stylemaster, Tested with Chimera, lynx, Safari, uploaded with Captain FTP. Content produced with Appleworks, imovie, quicktime and a few other nifty pieces of OSX freeware. Probably used Graphic Converter at some point as well.

OK, so whether it's really cool or not is debateable, just because I use a mac doesn't make me artistic (unfortunately)

Sweden's largest Mac-community site, and second most popular Mac-related news site (IDG's MacWorld.se is the largest), MacNytt.com are build with and hosted on Mac OS X, ie 100% OSX.
We have two OSX-inspired themes too:

MacNytt with Aqua-theme in Chimera (PNG 304 K)
MacNytt with Metal-theme in Safari (JPEG 244 K)

Besides my homepage (click the sig)

I built and maintain Monkeywrench Books

and I'm working on a new Vreeland Graphics page. I've uploaded a couple proofs: (This isn't functional yet-- it's just for testing.)

http://homepage.mac.com/vgink

http://homepage.mac.com/vgink/Gallery.html

RGB: looks really nice, but look what happens when you zoom the text on your page. It kinda falls apart. The bottom half of your round logo needs to be pinned to the top of its cell and your border on the right needs a background tile.

http://www.scifiminds.net

Built mostly in OSX (the other person who worked on it uses a PC... I'm working on getting him to switch. He wants an XServe to run the site on now )

It was all coded by hand in BBEdit, tested with PHP/MySQL then uploaded.

What the nerd community most often fail to realize is that all features aren't equal. A well implemented and well integrated feature in a convenient interface is worth way more than the same feature implemented crappy, or accessed through a annoying interface.

My website (Ocean of Words) was entirely built in OSX (using Dreamweaver MX). It can be found here .

I just put up a new design last night, in fact. I've still got to tweak a few pages though.

Here's what I've been working on, done in BBEdit, tested on a Tomcat/Cocoon server running on my tiBook, uploaded via ssh using Transmit. It's still under development:

Demos: Classical Athenian Democracy

(Omniweb or Safari to get the Greek looking right; in Safari, resize the first window to get the links to activate... this has been "bugged" to Apple).

mine is in this vein too, except that i have gone the low-bandwidth stark route on the layout, after earlier flirtations with complex layouts and such.

Stuff I've made since getting my iBook in September 2001:

http://www.megasad.com/comics/
Apart from content from previous versions, all design and graphics and the like made with BBEdit and Photoshop.

http://www.megasad.com/ibook/
Sod all design really, the content being key, and I've been lazy and not even updated/finished that in ages. A new design once I finish the content...

http://megasad.diary-x.com/
A simple table design, made in my head, typed on both my iBook and college PCs.

http://www.megasad.com/archive/personal2/
An old personal site, BBEdit and Photoshop, but using layer scrollbar thingy from back on my old PC.

http://www.megasad.com/archive/splash/
Splash pages made since 20011125_bluealita were made in OS X.

http://www.tzuka.com/
The site for a friend's band.

http://www.megasad.com/
Where stuff happens. All made in OS X.

Actually all I used was Photoshop, Fireworks and dreamweaver. I also did a couple lines of HTML on my own for the iFrames but no PHP, BBedit or MySQL. Programming is not my fav thing in the world to do.

Thanks though

I code Gridface on OS X with BBEdit. It even uses bbincludes for the header and footer. It's pure CSS and XHTML (no tables) so it'll look pretty funky on browsers that aren't standards-compliant (like OmniWeb). Also, there's my consulting site.

Not only did all the actual development of my site happen on my Tibook, but I did an install of Movable Type ( PHP Publishing system ) onto my local machine and with web sharing running, did all of my development and testing locally, before uploading to my hosting company.

Truly the power of OSX.

The site in my sig, plus www.fellsbiker.com and www.whatsmyip.org, plus my personal site, all created with Adobe on OS X and Hosted off a PowerTower Pro running 10.2 Server :-D
Even MacNN is hosted off OS X.... oh wait my bad, they use Intel machines to host MacNN, I forgot.

PHP is part of the OSX package, just a little tweaking of settings to get it going.

Or a little command line time to update to the latest version.

Check out movabletype.org if you want more info on that particular system.
