T Horton Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Hello All I was wondering whether people could let me know their thoughts on my test website design at: www.phishspit.com/beta At the moment it is just the home page which contains the new design, but I am planning to implement this so that all the pages have this, but obviously I would like some opinions first. I would also appreciate it if you could compare it to the currently live home page at www.phishspit.com Which is better, the current page or the new page? If people could let me know that would be fantastic. Many thanks in advance.

Fadion Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Actually, I think the old site is better. It's strange as new versions should be a lot better then old ones, as you learn from mistakes you did and build up experience. Your site looks old, boring and the color scheme is far from being cool. PS: lol on the logo. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/121998-phishspitcom/#findComment-629718 Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Horton Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 Thanks for the comments. A pity though. Is it the original or the new one that looks old? Or both?

ardyandkari Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 1.) the beta looks old and busted. i do like that you dont have to navigate to another page to "phishspit"...funny graphic and name by the way...i like that... 2.) i would go with the 800 px layout instead of the fluid...just looks more organized. 3.) ditch the orange. i wanted to tear my eyes out. 4.) when i made the font 3 or 4 sizes smaller, it seemed to look better...i dont like giant font. 5.)the system status is unnecessary and might make people wonder... thats what i see for now... later ardy Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/121998-phishspitcom/#findComment-629758 Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Horton Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 Many thanks for all your comments Ardy. Going to work on your suggestions and come up with a new version. I have the purpose of the site pretty much sorted, but obviously the design needs to be worked on. I will keep you posted and tell you when the new version is available (will be the same address). Thanks again. Tom Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/121998-phishspitcom/#findComment-629775 Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Horton Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 Hello All Can I have your thoughts on the revamped version? Same address: www.phishspit.com/beta One thing I will say is that the scrolling text thing is a work in progress, so that will be changing, but apart from that, let me know what you think on the rest. Hope this is better. Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/121998-phishspitcom/#findComment-629942 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardyandkari Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 MUCH better! i assume that the marquee is going as soon as you go live... Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/121998-phishspitcom/#findComment-629967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Horton Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 Yeah that's right. Marquee will go, and will be replaced with a news ticker in the top right hand corner hopefully. Am working on that one though. Glad you like it the new version. I started completely from scratch and by the sounds of it, it has paid off. Any recommendations? Other ideas you can think of for it? Thanks for your help. Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/121998-phishspitcom/#findComment-629974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadion Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I see you are going in the right way of having a revamped website. It has the same feel of the old one, but with new details. I still like the old one better though, but it is still in progress so i'm sure there are lots of things left. What I can suggest: - You can add some padding on the site container, just to have some space between the edges and content. - I see you're going for a clean approach, but some details wont ruin it. Headings on the titles, some graphic on the header and a way to make the menu spot out (as it can be hardly seen right now) are some easy things you can do. - As suggested, marquees are *evil*. I would like better non-moving content. - Under the xhtml specification, the page MUST contain a doctype and xml declaration and all html tags and attributes MUST be in lowercase.

TheFilmGod Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I like the new one better. The new one doesn't have the "facebook" feel. The old one seemed to copy facebook's header bg colors for things such as "members login." I tried your service. It sounds cool but it's unreliable. The report you give at the end is confusing and doesn't provide a clear cut answer. I copied and pasted the headers my email server sends when sending automatic emails. It said my server is invalid? - but then it said it wasn't in the detailed information... huh?

T Horton Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Hello All Thanks for all your comments so far. I have taken them all on board and am obviously doing what I can to improve the beta site. TheFilmGod: I would really appreciate it if you could test out the new version of the system on there. I have completely started from scratch on this, and would obviously appreciate your comments to see if what I have done has fixed your problems you were having. If anyone else has any ideas, suggestions etc. that I could include on the beta version then please do let me know. All ideas are welcome. Thanks again for all your comments.

ifubad Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 don't take this in a bad way. First, most users that may get suckered by phishing email, are pretty computer illiterate, probably the type that you would have to spend an hour walking them thru on where the start button is, I just can't imagine them knowing where the email header is. The ones that do know, will most likely not fall for those scams anyway. You need to design it to be super user friendly somehow, that's the tricky part.

T Horton Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hi Thanks for your comments. Been having a long hard think about what I can do to improve the ease of use on the site and have come up with something. If you visit the site again, you should see what I have done. I have just basically tried to make it a bit easier for people. Would really appreciate your thoughts on this.

ifubad Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 that's more user friendly. I write a lot of software and instructions, alway tried to make it so that no one has to ask questions to know how to use something.

Maq Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Try to integrate your forums into your design. I just think it looks tacky when you have a bunch of pages that look the same then when you click on "forums" a whole other style shows. Besides phpBB is very easy to customize.

ifubad Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 When I "FIRST" go into your site, every time, the Contact Us and Forum menu items does not highlight and not pointing to any links, after you click on one of the first three active menu items, then they work.
