BatchHeader Web Design and Hosting

So you thought you would design you site and already have some company colours or just trying to find your company colours to start…well here are some useful site to help you on your way.

My first stop everytime is http://www.colorschemedesigner.com/ This site is a great resource to find which colours work well together and which contrast. It is a site the has the funstionaloty to cater from novice to expert as the settings give the abillity to adjust the colours, hues, saturation, etc down to exacting levels. If you want something a bit simpler then it has a great function to randomise the palette to get quick ideas. When you need get the full details of you chosen palette you can easily export to various formats for either you HTML style sheets or your favorite art package.

If you are looking for just one colour code to put into your style sheet then http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_colorpicker.asp is the site you need. Not only is this easy to work to get the HEX code needed for HTML but it is also a great resource for all things coding. Definately a good bookmark.

If you are lloking to get further into the coding side of things then go straight for the horses mouth with http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/learning This gives a great list of sites that offer online tutorials.

One thing that you may hear about is web safe colours. This isn’t some thing that needs to be worried about quite so much nowadays. When the internet first began and browser were very basic designers would only have a limited palette of 256 colours that they could chose from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors explains which colours can safe be viewed on all browsers.

I hope you find this useful and there will be more coming soon…

So this is the start of the blog… There are so many out there why should there be any interest in this?

Well, I have the hope that this will be informative on some coding tips, that I can help with some web hosting issues, update on tech advances and generally just adding a little colour to web hosting in Stratford upon Avon.
