[SOLVED] More Inviting Look?

[DarkPrince2005]

Yes, it is

[Maq]

Still does not validate.  I was looking through and you have some clumsy mistakes but easy to fix.  Also half of them are META errors.

Does not validate?

 

When I check it through the w3c markup validation service it validates completely.

 

Just to make sure everybody has got the right web-page:

When I click on that link I get a blank page...  Maybe that's why it validates, lol.

Can't believe I didn't notice that.  Anyway...

Yeah, just wish I could get the bloody thing to center vertically

[nrg_alpha]

Looks like the best version yet.

 

I think the only things I would do differently is instead of using black bullet points, I would either make them match the colour of the tex, or even better yet, use a small attractive image as your bullets... and there doesn't seem to be a footer. Perhaps some copyright notice or something?

 

Looking nicer for sure!

Strict is better IMO

[DarkPrince2005]

Does anyone have tips on how I can get it to center vertically, cause I've tried everything I can.

 

Do you guys agree that the colors look good now though?

I'd make the background lighter- maybe even a very faint grey going on white? If you could get the corners to be proper round that would improve it aswell! The header font is ugly and like nrg_alpha says, I'd get a footer in there!

 

Was about to say excellent job turning it around until I clicked on to the contact / FAQ pages and saw a very ugly scroll bar!! Then went on to see it was coded in tables! I'd reccommend not worrying about centering it vertically and making the height adjustable for those pages!!

I'm lazy too.

 

generally nice. Nothing wrong with a dark site.

 

Never use times new roman. Use headers, preferably in <H1> tags. Add some frames around content and some nice shiny graphics wouldn't go a miss. You could use some interactivity even if it is a mouseover image for the tabs. There is a lack of contrast in the contant section. You should be able to easily separate foreground and background and there is too much that is not quite in or out of focus if that makes sense.

 

I do really like the wavy top bit though.

Dont really understand what you mean, but thanx for the critique.

I think it looks much better.  You should have some inner containers.  For example your About Us page is just text with a gray background.  Spice it up a little!

[Thauwa]

how about adding some swirls (like in the top) to the bottom? It would look a bit more attractive. and dont keep the body background soooooo monotonous, try something new! 

[Maq]

Swirls...?  I don't like swirls.

You owe me big. This took me 3 days to fix and polish into a working code example.

[dropfaith]

god it seems like there would be a better way to center things
