Drcodyjones Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hey guys, I'm about to start the template on my site but I need to find out what theme I'll use, dark or light. My COO wants it to be a dark website similar to http://vectorairlines.net/ but I want it to be light colored. Dark theme would consist of black, grey, and maybe a dark red. Light theme would consist of blue, white, and red. Which attracts more pilots? Thanks Cody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sava Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 You are welcome. To clarify, dark themes in forums, websites etc. are just hard for the eyes. At least for mine they are. A light gray/white template with some colorful touches are the best in my opinion. Check out my VA site for something like that. @mod No marketing intended, just to show what I am talking about.

Drcodyjones Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I took a look at your VA site and I really like it. Maybe instead of the black at the top, you can change it to an image. I think that would look really nice. I, too, don't like dark websites especially for Virtual Airlines. I can understand a dark theme for maybe a COD clan website or something similar but what is dark about flying? When flying comes to mind, I think of bright lights or the color blue.

Moderators Kyle Posted July 18, 2012 Moderators Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Here's my thought... I don't really like dark websites, it can be hard for my eyes. I usually close out the tab when the first thing I see is a dark website. . I say, have a few nice colors, something not too dark that won't drive away your members. Stay Light!

Drcodyjones Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Thanks Kyle! Looks like we're going light. I'm thinking blue and grey. I really don't like dark sites either especially if there's any neon colors with the black. That's just a headache waiting to happen. Thanks again Cody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vader21 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Dark website done right are stunning But through the years of developing, light color are usually the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
