Skin Our Site
October 16th, 2002 by Will
Alltheweb.com has a feature that allows you to create custom CSS to skin their site.
I’ve come across a few sites that have a handful of templates and they’ll let you pick your favorite. I also know IE on the Mac allows you to choose a default CSS file that can be used. This is the first web site I’ve seen that invites outsiders to come in and design them for themselves (unless you count some of the mods that you can do in something like my.yahoo.com. I know that people go crazy for being able to skin MP3 players and desktop themes. I’m not sure if I (read others) really want to skin web sites though. I don’t think that I even use Google enough to want to customize the interface (much less something like alltheweb). Still, It’s also possible to point at somebody else’s CSS, so I guess if they had a library of a few good designs, there may be some appeal to that. It’ll be interesting to see how it works out for them. [via IA Slash]
