With all of the talk about Web 2.0,
very few people understand how to implement the look and feel of a
Web 2.0 web site.
While Web 2.0 sites tend to focus on
increased levels of visitor interactivity, personalization and
customization -- think movable widgets (calendars, RSS feeds, etc.)
and blogs and forums -- there is also a distinct Web 2.0 look and
feel.
Graphics on Web 2.0 sites tend to
jump off the page. They use bright colored buttons and backgrounds
with lots of light and reflection, shadow and texture treatments in
an effort to make the pages visually exciting. One way to accomplish
this is with popular striped backgrounds.
Striped page backgrounds
are used to provide a border around the center of the page to help
draw attention to your message (while also being extremely pleasing
to the eye). Striped backgrounds don't compete for your visitor's
attention. They are simple but effective ways to draw more attention
to your words.
It usually takes a good
graphic artist to select the right colors, the right width of the
stripes, and the angle of the lines. But now you can do-it-yourself
with Easy
Striped Backgrounds from Max Rylski, the creator of 1ClickCovers
Photoshop Actions.
Max has provided you
with a ready-made library of over 100 different striped backgrounds
and the files you need to further customize them yourself. If you
web site is lacking some "pop" and visual excitement, and
you wish to get onto the Web 2.0 train, then you should definitely
