I will change the color palette. I'm still working on it. Green is because the allegator, but that color seems not to be friend with complementary. Would change anytime.
You don't have to change the color palette, because green is a pleasant color. What bothers me is not very interesting design of the site, including careless margins and padding (too small). Just try not to make the site look old/primitive, because it will deter users. Minimalism, not primitives.
About code displaying, I agree that syntax highlighting will improve the reading, but the way the pages are build doesn't allow to do it (yet) as it doesn't allow HTML code.
You can generate pages, but you can manually insert HTML for source code. But I don't know where these restrictions come from — I don't know what you use to generate pages.
About uppercase keywords, sorry but I don't agree: I find it easier to read even with syntax highlighting so I'll keep it (specially while syntax highlighting can't be applied). Will not discuss anyway.
No no no... Virtually
no one writes the code this way. Even FPC/Lazarus developers, despite many formatting styles, do not write keywords in capital letters. This is
not a good technique.
If you create a project yourself and for yourself, you can write the source code as you like — after all, only you will be able to see it. However, if you create a
common project (and the tutorial is it), you should adhere to
common principles and promote practices considered by most as essential.
Most are described here —
Object Pascal Style Guide — please, read carefully and follow the rules.
And maybe you didn't notice, but Allegro is an amateur project.
Yep, I know. The problem is you don't have to brag about it.
You must understand that the first impression is most important, that the appearance of the website and formatting of source code is very important. You have to think about what the user will think — otherwise all the work will be wasted, because so far the site doesn't encourage users to browse it.
That would allow me to hire a designer. ).
You don't need a designer. There are many different websites on the web, minimalistic, full of content and nice looking at the same time. Just look for the one you like, look at the sources how it is made and use a similar style. The very good example is the
SFML website — see yourself.
Remember that I'm a fan of this project and I wish you the best — hence my posts in this thread.
