Notes on design elements:
The top border background is from the Globalscape Onyx web design, so isn't available as a separate image. The other backgrounds are made from the drawing by Leonardo da Vinci found on this page of the site. The image used is available copyright free from pics.am.
The navigation arrows used on the container page are originally from GRSites.com, but I've cropped them a bit. The navigation arrows on other pages were made from the same da Vinci drawing as the backgrounds, using Paint Shop:
I was ready to put this design online with the dark background in the left border and the light background on the page body, when I realized it was a lot easier to read text on the dark background, so I switched them. In order to tone down the darkness, I made the right border visible in the design default. If you'd rather have the page body extend all the way to the right side of the screen, use page area properties to remove the "show this border" option for the right border.
Note: My spellcheck disagrees with my dictionary on how the title of this design should be spelled. I'm siding with the dictionary because it matches da Vinci's spelling on the image that was used for the backgrounds. However you spell it, a duodecahedron (or dodecahedron) is a three-dimensional object with 12 sides. Some people ascribe a magical/supernatural power to it. I'm not one of them. I just think it's an intriguing geometric design; da Vinci was often interested in the relationship of geometry to art.
