Description

design|snips is a design gallery with the unique focus of highlighting "snippets" of good design. Everything from the logo and site design to the XHTML/CSS templates were created by me. The website is powered by Textpattern.

I'm selling the website because I'm trying to focus 100% on school and can no longer give it the time it deserves.

    To answer some frequently asked questions:

    Q: Do you have more screenshots of traffic details?
    A: Why yes, yes I do. Monthly "Traffic Sources" (http://fadial.com/dump/designsnips/month_traffic.png) | All time "Traffic Sources" (http://fadial.com/dump/designsnips/alltime_traffic.png) | All time "Referrer List" (http://fadial.com/dump/designsnips/alltime_referrer.png)

    Q: How do you post new features?
    A: design|snips is powered by Textpattern, and has an easy-to-use administration interface (though I'd be more than happy to guide the buyer through their first few posts). All you do is take a screenshot of the snippet you're featuring (for example, a well-designed button or banner) and upload it through the web interface. Then you just add the relevant information - feature URL, designer URL (if available), categories - and hit publish! It's possible to schedule future posts so you can line up three or four new features and let them roll out over a week's time.

    Q: How many submissions do you receive?
    A: I receive about 4-5 submissions (through the submission form: http://designsnips.com/submit) per day.

    How easy is your CMS for an amateur to change the layout to include google ads or forums or extra functionality?

    thanks!

    Hi traveldesign,

    It would be fairly easy to do both of those things. The website is based on a well-structured template, so adding a sidebar with a skyscraper would not be too difficult (no more difficult than adding it to a static HTML/CSS template). Adding forums is also an option, there's a solid Textpattern (the site's CMS) plugin for that. Textpattern also has a very strong community with tons of plugins and extensions (http://textpattern.org).

    Great, I'll check out Textpattern and see what they offer, thanks! I'm definitely interested in a graphic design related site, so this would be an interesting fit.
