HTML Template Time (Wix Has a Major Letdown) - noah - 06-03-2013
Well, I tried taking you people's advice and I went to W3schools.com, and I looked through it. I didn't learn anything that I didn't already know. I know it all when it comes to HTML, I just can't make a site with it.
After a few really bad attempts, I tried Weebly again. The sites looked like, well, I'll just say not good. They were simple, but too simple, and too alike. It seemed that if I used any of them it would look like a "Weebly website" rather than a pro website.
So I tried Wix. Their sites are great. They are spammed with ads, though, but a monthly fee will give me the option to remove them. I made a basic site: http://www.noahcampbel7.wix.com/mega
and it looks decent.
It's easy to find what your looking for with the great looking drop down menus. I think it's pretty cool.
I was working on it today and I found something real tiny. When playing a flash game, if you click to go home, once home comes up the audio of the game can still be heard. If I went back to the game, it was exactly how I left it. Later, I edited nothing but the home page. I was on a different page on the site before I published the home page. When I clicked home after I published it, the changes were not there. A simple refresh changed that.
That is when I realized Wix's fatal flaw.
Based on that information, Wix will load your WHOLE website if someone goes to it. This makes it so navigating through pages is faster, but it has a major drawback. I'm going to have multiple gigabytes of files on my site. This means that it would take a whole hour to open my website.
I'm kind of let down. It was just too good to be true with it's pro looking designs and features, but Wix just can't handle the big life.
So I need help. If anyone knows HTML, could you please make a simple template for a flash games site? Anything you can think of will do. Who ever makes the best one will get credit for the template at the bottom of the page, and I will link to their website. You don't even have to link to mine. All I want is a simple HTML template that I could easily edit with Notepad and BlueGriffon.
I also need help coming up with a logo, name, and domain name. Those aren't as urgent, however.
Thank you in advance.

Why is that? do you know CSS and Javascript?
I don't have exactly what you seek, but you can get this from my Google Drive..

Click on 'Open in Drive' and download the files if you want.
It is nothing more than the samples on Bootstrap website, but with clean and commented HTML, and local resources. I made this to help friends from college who had trouble with Web classes. So it's basically two webpage templates with bootstrap implemented. If you want a flash games site you'll probably want to use some server-side scripting for page parsing, like PHP or Ruby.
(Bootstrap is a JS and CSS framework, the one used in Dolphin's homepage, for example)
EDIT:
If you're interested, you might as well also fork this: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8xMtMJu8iIpcWtrdUR5Qk1ILWs&usp=sharing

I did it for a college assignment, it is a complete website made with bootstrap, but with heavily modified CSS, including CSS3 animations, custom javascript and some other random experimental stuff by me and some friends XD

Thanks.
I might use them, but I think I may have found a way. I'll let you know if I'm going to use yours.
