The
History of a Homepage: The design and content
of the homepage is like no other on a website. AbleStable's
homepage has undergone numerous changes since its
early development in 2001, and the major changes are
presented here to illustrate how the challenge was
met.
• The Creative Area Buildings
has a new Discipline 'Lighting Design' which is also
cross referenced from Design.
• New Freeware Script
Library: QLIB

objects and includes cross-browser implementation
of a button, checkbox, progress bar, counter, overlay
window, dialog box, and more. In total there are 16
well documented objects in the collection.
• New Freeware:
Color
Scheme Designer is a great tool for web design
and other graphics projects. The program assists the
user by grouping colours into complimentary and tonally
similar groups as defined by colour theory and therefore
helps users to quickly identify colours that work
well together.
• New Flash Resource:
AbleStable:
The Homepage presents the major changes to our
homepage since the site's launch in 2002.
• Our Domains,
a page that lists all our domain names, has been updated.
Domain name redirection has been one of the factors
that has established AbleStable as a premium Internet
destination for creative people.

what's coming up you may scramble up to level 2...

specifications to online sources in a standard way,
using a standard data format that allows webmasters

easily.

News
about AbleStable
Last
Major
Update
Homepage and
Review Update: July 04
You'll
find a major update has been made to our homepage
which now places far greater emphasis on the free
community resources that are available at AbleStable.
The links to our online store are gone which are now
available from our Services
page. Each resource area featured on the homepage
now has a small icon and link with a brief accompanying
summary. The Product Area has been renamed Review
Area as this far better sums up its purpose.
These changes are inline with a general assertion
that AbleStable is now a high quality content-rich
website. The commercial language: products, store
etc, have been demoted in favour of language that
far better sums-up the site's main purpose: to encourage
and support creativity. Hope you like the changes.
If
you have any comments, good or bad, please go to Feedback.
