Hi folks,
Just a quick post to see if anyone had any thoughts on branding a
website for completely different website designs. I have a site at the
minute that gets installed with another application on customers
networks. It's ASP.NET 2.0 but written in a combination of old ASP.NET
1.1, AJAX with/and "heavy" use of client side javascript throughout the
site.
But, it now turns out that this needs to have a different branding (and
a completely different layout) for another company that wishes to
resell our application.
Now, I have previously done my own custom branding on several sites but
these have been applied onto the same design so it was just a case of
changing logos and colours etc. No sweat.
With a totally different layout, this could be a nightmare to do? - I
have just started working with ASP.NET 2.0 and am wondering can this be
easily achieved with master templates and loading them dynamically
based on company specific information stored in the registry. I havent
worked with Themes and Skins but I'd imagine they'd come into play...
If I go the master templates way, all my javascript code would have to
change as master templates generate its own named clientID for each of
the web server controls.
I just don't want a scenario where I have to manage multiple sets of
code! This could be quite a big job and I want to run with the correct
design before I get started.
Cheers,
Andrew

No it wouldn't, if you design it properly. I do exactly this as part of my
band management site.
There have been loads of threads about this recently - basically, all you
need to do is to be able to specify the MasterPage dynamically at runtime,
which you do in the content pages' Page_PreInit method. Thereafter, the look
and feel may be entirely different, but the internal structure will be the
same.
In this way, each band gets a secure private site which looks and feels
exactly like their public site, but different from all the other bands'
sites.
It really is a wonderful new feature of ASP.NET 2. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi,
I am designing a web site that will that showcase a bunch of vacation
pictures. It will have a banner and a navigation menu (consisting of 13
rectangular images that can be clicked). I am considering a few different
layouts:
- Banner on top, with the navigation menu immediately below it. The problem
with this layout is that the menu would be about 770 pixels wide, since there
are 13 items in it. Many users would have to...

Hello,
I have been in print publishing since the late 1980's, and I need to build
several web sites. I am familiar with HTML at a very basic level, and
understand its similarities with Quark XTags. Obviously, I come from a
mindset that is much different than that used by those who prepare text and
images for web. I am a Macintosh user, FWIW.
My mental limitations are: I ALWAYS need to know the big picture and I

I'm far from a CSS expert, but what I see of it I really like & I love
keeping content & style separate. I also hate the way table layout
produces convoluted bulky code.
However when asked why one should use CSS rather than tables,
particularly when tables work & browser support of CSS can be dodgy,
especially in IE, I usually fail to come up with a concise & convincing
argument :/

Hi There
I want to create an asp.net application that other companies can brand. So for example a customer would put a link to my site on their web page, my site would then have to know where the user came from and then brand the site so that it looks like my site is actually an extension of my customers own site. How can I do this? If each of my customers registered their own domain name that pointed to my server could I tell what domain...

Hi,
I've been looking at many sites, such as www.idunno.org and
www.developerfusion.co.uk , and these sites seem to have a very professional
look about them. Alas when I create my sites, though funcioning properly, the
look and feel leaves alot to be deserved.
I'm after a layout where there is a header section on all pages, a
navigation section on the left of all pages, and the page content takes the
remainder - it shouldn't be rocket...

Hi, How do you guys deal with the different clinet resolution? For
example, you have
800*600, 1024*768 and 1280*1024 on client side.
We used to put everything into a table with fixed width (the lowest
width of your clients' resolutions) then put everything inside the
table with a percentage width. But for those clients with higher
resolution, this way put them into a very smaller area to work on. But
If we do not fix the outtest...

Hi,
Since I have made changes to my website it's been a complete flop. According
to the logs, as soon as visitors have downloaded the index page they are
off. I can't figure out why?

Is there anything obvious that I am missing? Are there problems with some
browsers? Please let me know if you notice anything.
