We’ve mentioned it here once before and by gosh there is still time to enter! Yup, if you think you have what it takes you too can go ahead and enter this Website design contest.

It’s time for another CSS Framework Design Contest Update. The contest will officially end this weekend (Sunday night), but hopefully people will continue to contribute designs after that. After the initial deadline passes, I’ll send out a vote to the AppFuse CSS Mailing List. If you have a better idea of how to handle voting, I’m all ears. Maybe we should use JIRA?

I spent a few late nights last week converting some of Andreas Viklund’s Templates to use the CSS Framework. All the ones I converted, along with many other contest entries, can be seen at http://css.appfuse.org/themes. For many of these, I’ve replaced the default forms.css with one that has CSS from Wufoo.com. If you’d like to include a similar form in your entry, just copy the

s from form.html into your own page.

I’ve also looked at incorporating the CSS Table Gallery, but found many of the designs to be pretty ugly. Nevertheless, most of them work with the displaytag, so I might include some of them in the future. In the meantime, if you want to see what they look like, go to css.appfuse.org (user/pass: mraible/tomcat). Change the “css” parameter in the URL to match a table’s stylesheet, and you should see what it looks like…. Source: Raible Designs
