jcombs_31 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 First impression, what is the point in the site. I see nothing on the index page that tells me anything. It's very white. Nothing breaks the site apart. The login box is floating, the logo is blurry. None of the links seem to really work. It is very bland and doesn't really do anything for me.

brown2005 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 i think it would look better with the username and password to the far right....and with the Register An Account and Reasons to Register underneath...maybe they could be place on a blue bar or something... (blue beeing the color scheme)......

redbullmarky Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 TBH, it does not look that different. I have a problem with the big column of whitespace on the homepage - the other pages seem to sort this out well.And it doesnt validate.You just need to work out a proper layout to give everything containment. some places you have far too much whitespace, some places you don't have any.So it's not bad - just needs some work to liven things up a bit.

akitchin Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 in case you don't know what containment is (marky mentioned it), it means dividing your content. right now nothing in particular grabs your eye, and nothing in particular is in its own section. the eye wanders around the page looking for something, ANYTHING to settle on, and usually by the time it does it's chosen a totally random and useless segment of the page. the page is very white, as others have mentioned, and so the first thing i was drawn towards were the ads, since they had some colour. while that may be good for money, it's not good for your site because you no longer hold the main focus of the user.as the others said, try adding some containment (some borders, some divisors, background changes, etc) and a little more colour. ideally you should get a dark colour in there somehow. i get a horizontal scrollbar in firefox on windows, which at 1152x864, is pretty silly. obviously some CSS discrepancies which as marky mentioned, validation might help in fixing.i'll finish off by saying it certainly could be much worse. you're not done, but you're not at square one.

You will have to use percentages instead of pixels/ems/points or whatever you use.

fixxxer Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 Okay thanks again for all the advice, TBH designing a site is not somthing im particulary good at and Ive only just learned css so all the advice was invaluable, so ill try and make some change and sort the firefox thing out and then show it again. Hopefully im getting closer. lol Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/22842-please-take-a-look-a-t-my-first-site/#findComment-111141 Share on other sites More sharing options...
