Beautiful TXP: Nine Pearls
One of the reasons why I started this website is the fact that I have no design skills at all. I may know some things about XHTML and CSS, but when it comes to creativity I’m totally lost.
I know that there are a lot of beautiful websites out there made with TXP — but today I stumbled upon a very beautiful weblog written by a girl named Veronica and driven by Textpattern: Nine Pearls.
It has a kind of 3 column layout, a nice color scheme and it is easy to read, although the content itself is not necessarily of my taste.
Go and take a look at Nine Pearls.
P.S.: Originally I didn’t want to categorize my ‘News & Article’ section because I only wanted to announce new templates and updates, but now it seems I have to rethink about it ;)

Excellent design and I like the headings, which I think are done with Flash (sIFR).
I know what you mean about having no design skills. Holiday Pad was developed using TXP and was designed by me as a basic monochrome wireframe, which I have only recently ‘coloured’ in. I don’t even know how to code html/css.

Garri,
the “colourization” of your site is very beautiful. The site looks really professional!

Thanks!
And, yes, the headings are sIFR.

Marcus, thanks for that. I had someone else code and beyond the front page, the site could do with some improvements. They will be scheduled in soon.
Veronica, I’m not usually fan of Flash as it doesn’t seem to play very well on my Mac. One thing I’ve noticed on my travels is not so many blogs using sIFR. It seemed to be big news a couple of years ago but it doesn’t seem to have become widespread. Apart from the obvious, what are the pros and cons?
