How can you even tell?
There must be around 10 - 20,000 sponsor templates around! I couldn't keep a fraction of them in my (biological) memory... Plus so many people are actually making templates which look similar, either as webmasters or to sell... Personally I find around 70% of these templates lazy and overdone! - Lazy because everything is one graphic run thru an image slicer, and then you end up in some cases with a uniform background being sliced into individual pieces for each thumb, which slows down loading! - Lazy and overdone because quite often you see almost standard text as a graphic, which could have been easily CSS text; CSS text makes the template more flexible (you can change the text for each gallery), se friendly, and faster to load. - Overdone because I'm quite often wondering if people buy more from a flashy full-page graphical gallery with over-compressed videocaps, or rather from a simple gallery with semi-decent images, where they can get a good impression of what to expect inside the member section. Personally: if a gallery is over 50 (max.65) kb in total (that's graphics and HTML, not the thumbnails) then I think it's a good one! Some of these new flashy templates have graphics of 200+kb plus large HTML tables due to the complicated image slicing...

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand!

Most of the time I design my galleries myself, simple but thats okay I think....
example; http://www.realitycum.com/cam-a-sutra01/index.html But sometimes when I have less time a combine it, little of myself little of the sponsor... example; http://www.realitycum.com/bigcocksex01/index.html ![]() |
