A3 Design Team Project - Part 5

***** Facts *****
For some people, they may think that I have already given up this project since I come back from South Carolina. Think again!
Firstly, I can't deny the fact that I was so tired designing and running this boring team alone. I also lost all of my data including my last A3 website. More terribly, the website canceled my service for some reasons. However, the thing is I have a passion for designing and thinking creatively. So, never give up easily even though i'm running it by myself now.
As second thing to talk, I intended to make this project to earn money. For now, I don't feel like I am able to earn lots of money from this. Nevertheless, I keep running this cuz I want to, I love the feeling of my fingers to fingers on the keyboard along with brainstorming and the sound of clicking my mouse on the pictures. Sicko and phsyco I am, ain't I?
*****What's new *****
- Remake on logo (Link to new logo update later)
- Apply Macromedia Flash to Intro page
- Appy Mecromedia Flash + XML to main page (still working on it)
- Make an Intro Page with Intro Flash
- Simplify all the Intro page to HTML (I intended to use PHP for some counter and script but too long to load)
- Change the name A3 to "Activ3 Design" or "Advanc3 Design" (which one is better?)
- Hosted by my friend, he gave me unlimited to storage/bandwidth/SQL Acc/Mails...
- Also DNS to http://www.a3designteam.co.cc
- ... etc ...
***** Problems *****
- Interacting with Flash Designing takes a lot of time, it burns all of my scheduled tasks.
- Hosting from Vietnam so it's a little bit laggy.
- Having cold now >"<
***** Bonus: a little introduction to my Under Construction page *****
As everybody can see, my under construction page differs from other websites. The thing here is: The whole idea of the web as a place which is "under construction" is getting very old. Don't believe me? Try this simple exercise. Face away from your computer, clear your mind, and slowly, carefully ask yourself the following question:
"What does editing HTML files have in common with shovels, hard hats, big trucks, and construction work? "
Hmmm... Nothing? That's right! Good, good! Now try this one:
"If writing a simple web page is so difficult for me that I compare it to doing hard manual labor, does that mean I'm a nitwit?"
Well, yes, I'm afraid it does! See, with just a little thinking, you realize that the imagery of "under construction" icons on web pages is just some cute little joke which has, for no good reason, gone completely out of control. Time to quit it.
So that's why I made the same "Under Construction" page but with no word mentions about "Under Construction" or something related. That's my idea. And I want everything to be perfect even the "Under Construction" page.
Give me a comment about this website. I appreciate it.
