In need of some critique: Webcomic Homepage

[Fabraz]

Hey everyone,

 

I am new to these forums so I hope I follow all the guidelines correctly. A friend of mine and I have started a webcomic (manga to be exact) about three months ago on DeviantArt and we believed it was time to build an official website for it.

So, before I link the webpage to ask you nice folks for a critique, here is who was responsible for everything:

- Arseniquez does the Illustrations of the comic and the two figures in the BG of the website

- I designed the entire website, build every icon, logo etc. and do the storyboards for the comic

- Tim Harding (from 2P!Start) did the coding for the website, so that it's an actually functional website online

 

Here is the link:

I'm looking forward to the response(s).

Thanks,

Fabian

Ya know, I've seen some webcomic websites and this does certainly fit the what I would think is an unofficial profile of how webcomic sites should look. It's very basic, very easy to understand the flow of the website. I don't understand your comics, but thats because I was reading the newest first I suppose, so I had no idea what was going on. And I started reading left-to-right.

 

I think the website works. Your buttons for First, Prev, Next and Last don't really fit in though with the other text and things. They should look similar. The background also seems to be lacking quality.

 

I actually thought both the left and right panels were just ads, but you do have twitter and DA updates there, I just didn't realize.

 

I think it's good though.
