What's your fallback layout style?

Re: What's your fallback layout style?
I generally do a single column design. Navigation at the top, header image, then content. It makes it easy to read lots of text that way.
I want to try a different style for a new site I'm working on but having a hard time coming up with a design. :S

Re: What's your fallback layout style?
I've actually wanted to try a small vertical menu on the side of a layout that scrolls with the reader...the last time I attempted it, though, I had issues with various window widths playing heck with it, which I haven't figured out how to fix. Maybe something like that would be a neat change-up?
Re: What's your fallback layout style?
My fallback style is the two-row one, with the header image on top and content beneath that. This site is an example of what I'm talking about. Lately I've been lucky and haven't had to rely on that too much anymore. It's not that I dislike that style; I really do enjoy it. But I got to overusing it, and I know several others use(d) it too.
If you're interested in time travel, meet me last Thursday.

Re: What's your fallback layout style?
It works at any size if you use percentage widths instead of pixel widths. For small widths that would break the layout too much, you can use min-width to force a minimum width on your columns, or @media screen and (max-width: 400px) {...} to radically change your layout at small resolutions.CuriousLittleBird wrote:I've actually wanted to try a small vertical menu on the side of a layout that scrolls with the reader...the last time I attempted it, though, I had issues with various window widths playing heck with it, which I haven't figured out how to fix.

Ah, cool! I like how tidy that looks :DSarah wrote:My fallback style is the two-row one, with the header image on top and content beneath that. This site is an example of what I'm talking about.

Y'know, I've actually never messed much with percentages (darn math getting in the way of my passions, lol). That's an idea! My main issue with that design was seeing the "legend" menu overlap the content when the window got too small, so I'll try and see if changing the layout widths to percentages will work ^_^ Thank you DD!dubiousdisc wrote:It works at any size if you use percentage widths instead of pixel widths.

Re: What's your fallback layout style?
I'm with you there! I have to either have images on either side, up top, or just on the left. An image to the right of content makes me twitch (on my own sites, I mean). ha ha.Robin wrote:Cool!
