"Themes"
This article aims to provide a minimal representation of the approach used by us.
Web site design is a kind of user interface. Useful information can be found, for example, on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_interface_design.Global standards relating to this area can be found at http://www.w3.org/standards/webdesign, http://www.usabilitynet.org/trump/resources/standards.htm and many other places.
Some examples of design solutions ("Themes"), see pages Collection1 and Collection2. Most of the pictures shows a different design for about the same content. This helps to better show the influence of only the "Topics" on the overall look of the page. The fact that we used a two-tier system provides the possibility of building site design:
"Theme" - template, prototype,...As a rule, once created and used in all or most pages.
"Settings" - set for each functional unit on any page of the site allows you to change the look of this particular item desired.
"Theme" created by us in accordance with the wishes of the customer."Setting" can be installed by the owner of the site and change them at any time convenient to him.
In the picture shows a typical theme and its basic elements.
Any of these items can not be in a specific project. View of any element can be changed at design time, and the latter (article background - a background of paper) can be changed by the site owner yourself. Along with many other graphic characteristics of the content.
