Hi everyone,
I'm a web designer (what I call my self) from Australia, I have been playing TF2 for a while and somewhat was involved with the HUD FluxHUD.
I came to the realization that the way HUDs are being presented is ugly and they deserve to be viewed and broadcasted to their audience in a much nicer visual way. If you consider GitHub and GoogleCode they get the job done but visually they don't suffice in presenting it. The idea behind the hosting is to have the HUD or the owner create a repository on GitHub and use the gh-pages feature to host the site.
The idea of it is to present it in a style that is simple yet understandable. It acts as a main home page for the HUD and has these following links:
Master Link to the download (Whether it be GitHub or GoogleCode), this will always be the latest release.
TFTV HUD thread (I consider this to be the main thread for the HUD, can be changed)
Direct link to GitHub or GoogleCode so people who want to download older commits or just browse the code without downloading full files.
Screen shot link (To imgur or another image hosting site or even based within the webpage)
A Steam profile link (Yes/No Feature) - Player Profile or Group Page
Its all done for free and I don't expect any compensation, it's more or less a hobby for me, a confidence builder and something to keep my skills busy.
The sites can be single page or multiple. Plugins work for gh-pages so plugins can be requested, features etc... The idea is to be simple yet sexy if that's how you could put it so try not to overload it with plugins or features. If the offers come I will update the thread with finished products.
Feel free to add me on steam to discuss and fill this out if you could it can make my job easier - https://www.dropbox.com/s/8yt3vfr4xrpbzfo/TF2%20HUD.docx.
Could you rename it to <playername-typeofwork> e.g. tstm-hud.docx.

I saw your work on the flux hud website, but I didn't know who you were, now I do, and I gotta say. You are amazing at making websites!

Those pages are nice, but amazingly void of actual information. They're basically a nice skin for the main forum thread.
It would be far more useful if the screens for a given hud would actually be present on that main page, not all of them, but a few important ones, perhaps nicely presented in a slider of some sorts.
The main background images you got are nice, but again, they dont show the HUD - which should be the main purpose of the site, and not to advertise nice looking depth of field screenshots.
That being said, I really welcome your effort and hope you'll keep improving this resource. :)

Yep cool, I understand, sometimes it can be quite hard to get information from people and sometimes there really isn't much to be said other than visual representation of some sort, but I'll take this into account now. Try to improve on this in future sites and current ones if need be.
VectriWould you be able to make me a personal website for my config and modified HUD?
Sure thing...
