- Help with pallete colour and design

Hey guys
My webpage in on...
https://rjpf.ddns.net/
But I really don't like the design and I suck hard on design.
Help, tips?
What color palette should I choose?

That URL looks so scammy.^^

@nitwhiz I know... Free DNS :p
For now, it's good enough, already paying for the VPS...

@GyroGearloose since you're using only static files you can use "netlify drop", buy a namecheap domain, connect it to cloudflare and redirect from cloudflare to netlify IP this way you only pay for the domain and have it all - netlify is drag & drop btw.

I think you can check for bootstrap and some flat color palette, or something like that.

@mk3d Don't want to use bostrap... Bulma is good for learning, and I'm a noob

@JoshBent Get the idea... Buy a Namecheap domain, Cloudflare protects against DDOS right? but what does netlify do?

@GyroGearloose cloudflare is also great as a DNS frontend to manage all entries, netlify hosts your files

@JoshBent Oh, I already have a VPS... prefer a VPS because it forces me to learn.

@GyroGearloose need any help with that? try to learn nginx from the start, you'll be much happier that way later on

if you need help with it tag me, I could most likely help, though DO has great resources on that:

https://digitalocean.com/community/...

Also you could still use cloudflare for the anti ddos, worldwide CDN, DNS frontend etc.

@JoshBent Yes, I've saved cloudflare to check better later on, although my VPS have DDOS protection it's an extra layer.
I ended up using Apache2, just because I couldn't get nginx to work right. I know It's better and I'll have to learn later, but not on the VPS. I'm treating it like a production server, so no messing around.
My problem is time, Have several projects in different areas. Now I must go back to web programming because I'm making a group of Inventors in my city.
Can you believe that I left a post in my city facebook looking for inventors and showing some of my projects, got more than 200 likes and not a single reply?
So I'll make a flyer, ask for permission to use a local community building for the meetings and try to attract people, especially kids who can get a profession only by learning IOT...
If it all goes well, I'll get a class teacher license and start giving class... extra money :D
I want to make a living out of inventions... not easy, not easy.

@GyroGearloose lol I just googled how that one inventor duck was called because you just fit it so well and it was your nickname already, good luck with it all, as said if you need help with nginx you can tag me, though it should be straight forward by following the tutorial :)

@JoshBent Hehehe that«s why I've chosen this nickname, I read a lot of uncle screwtch when I was little, and since I was like... 2, 3? I was inventing...
Should actually be dead by now.
At age of 3, I got drunk... My parents learned to not live wine in the bottom drawer on the fridge because I could find anything.
When I was 6, 7 years old made a chemical bomb and almost died.
Made an electric car at like 8 years old, where I would use the metal frame to power the motor, meaning connecting a wire to power and the device... luckily I got chicken and didn't do it (children logic, just plug it).
And people always found me strange, because of my personality. I'm just overpolite and always with weird ideas, or "common knowledge tips". I'm addicted to sharing knowledge and already gave me lots of problems with envious people...

@GyroGearloose lmao using the metal frame as the power rail, what could go wrong 🤣 you've found your place here though, pretty sure I am not the only one constantly following your learning progress

@GyroGearloose the page has contrast issues and is hard to read also for non-impaired users, see https://wave.webaim.org/ .

@JoshBent Now I want to find a group of others like me ... Man... it looks like no one has ideas these days, most people are sheep following the shepherd.

@Fast-Nop Yah... And I really hate the color... But none looks good.

@GyroGearloose you can use a colour picker to check out which ones you like: https://webpagefx.com/web-design/...

W3C has basic colour palette background: https://w3schools.com/colors/...

@GyroGearloose @Fast-Nop

even better is to get both color and design ideas from:

- https://www.uplabs.com/
- https://dribbble.com/
- https://coolors.co/

@JoshBent @Fast-Nop Yep that's what I need :p now... should I just need to pick one fuking color as base...

The colors you use do not feel like a whole. You could use a tool like https://color.adobe.com/nl/explore/...

To get good color schemes.

Apart from that your menu does not feel like a menu but a collection of buttons. With labels in between.

But I have seen way worse, keep tinkering with it. You will get there. Try to make it feel like everything belongs together. Instead of seeing each element separate.

@MisterArie Thanks for the ++ bomb :D
I could change the menu background color to a different one, but It just looks even more oldish...

@GyroGearloose I just liked everything I liked :) us burnies gotta stick together

Then there's also the navigation. Using Javascript for that one means that the back button in the browser doesn't work, and navigation by keyboard via tab doesn't work either. Also, "button" is the wrong HTML element for navigation (should be link).

@Fast-Nop My priority is changing that ugly menu :D I'm thinking of using an Iframe... so a JS back button in the other pages is a must have.

@GyroGearloose the drawback of faking native HTML control elements with JS is that they'll never really behave like they should in all regards.

One solution is a static site generator that pushes the menu HTML in every page and styling the stuff with a bit of CSS.

@Fast-Nop Well, a JS back button inside an iFrame seamed to work for me every time (I end up using it a lot).
But it's only one of the possibilities...

@GyroGearloose btw, it would be nice if the page included some email, if only with something like the (at) and "REMOVETHIS" obfuscation.

@Fast-Nop yah I made it on purpose, for now, :D Since I give the link only directly or here it's ok.
Changing the design soon, I'll see how it goes then :D
