developer13 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 To be honest I found that background very distracting. The image you have to click on before entering the site is a little dated as well as the overall design. Please understand - I am not trying to just dump on you... these are the things I noticed.

developer13 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Yes, absolutely use divs over tables for layout. Tables should be used only for tabular data. An example of what I mean by 'dated' is that your typeface is rather plain and generic - not that it should be fancy by any means, just maybe freshen it up some with a little CSS. Regarding the background image - it's just too distracting. All I see when I'm looking at the content is the background. It makes for horrid aesthetics.

stuffradio Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 IMO sites where you have to click on enter to enter the site or any other type of page like that makes your website look very bad. Don't make someone click more in order to get to the main page. I also agree about it being too busy.

stuffradio Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Ok the background is still looking busy... the tiled logo doesn't make it look good IMO. The banner is also too basic and doesn't match the site. At least the intro page is gone though Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/107103-ok-almost-done/#findComment-550006 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey - that post was probably mine. I have used google adsense before, and through my experience I learned that the more ads you have on the website the lower the click per view ratio, which means you make a lot less $$$. I recommend taking all the ads down since the money you would make from them is nominal (insignificant). However, you would have a better chance to grow a community of users since the ads wouldn't distract them or interfere with the purpose of the site. You can always re-establish the ads later on...
