AndyB Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Finally got around to a new look for the site I use for my free php scripts, etc. (everything is supposed to work) It's intended as a functional site rather than as a visual extravaganza. Any comments appreciated but accessibility and usability comments are particularly welcome.www.digitalmidget.com/php_noob2006 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/16261-review-of-php_noob/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolaidman52 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 i like it,it's actually quite good visually, I spent a minute just running my mouse over the navigation.the only issue I see is that on you script pages the demonstartion and documentation links are beneath the navigation and it took me a minute to find them, maybe move the inks to the top right of the page or beneath the pictures of the scripts in action,i like your scripts though, especially captcha, and i actually might use the comments script for my cartoon pages.

moberemk Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Good visuals, good semantic coding, and only one small problem that I can see. Your gradient at the bottom, with the "top of the page" link is, I feel too tall of a gradient in relation to the footer content. Scale it down some.

jcombs_31 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 As mober stated, I don't like the bottom gradient, but for me it's not the scale, I just don't like it. The rest of the site looks pretty good, but from what I remember, I may have liked the old colors a little more. I would either try a solid color with a light text over it, or a light gradient with the dark text starting at the top, not pushed down below it.

steviewdr Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 First off - it looks nice IMO. The scripts look really nice too. I might use a few.The problem is at different resolutions.At 1024 x 768 - I dont immediately see the footer - and it looks nice when I scroll down to the bottom of the page. However as mentioned earlier - I dont see the 3 options - Demo, Documentation, Download. I completely missed them only for they were mentioned here!At larger resolutions - one immediately sees the 3 options - docu, demo, download. - but the gradient is too apparent and is always there.Also you navigation could grow a lot if you add in more projects. You might want to rethink the navigation menu if you are going to have a lot of packages.Tis nice tho.-steve Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/16261-review-of-php_noob/#findComment-67683 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixy Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 It's lovely for me. Easy to navigate, lovely colorscheme. I do agree with the person above, if you are going to be offering lots of scripts you might have to re-think the menu design. Perhaps break them up into categories?

steviewdr Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 In IE6 - your icons in the footer are seperated. The 508 is at the very bottom on its own.-steve Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/16261-review-of-php_noob/#findComment-68007 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty simple and straightforward code in that footer - three consecutive images floated right.
