Peter. Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Heya guys. I'm working on a website, have been for some time, i've been coding it from scratch, bar the odd jQuery Anywho, I formatted my server last week and lost the majority of my data due to me being a fool and cancelling a tar command out of boredom But yeah, what do you guys think of the layout? http://50.7.248.90/home I reckon it's got a clean layout, I know the code's a bit of a mess, atleast the .html because of including the player.php file at the top; But the rest of the code's quite clean. I'm just wondering, do you think it, as in a website, might be usuable? I realise it may look a bit dated, thinking of adding a few glassy effects aswell as some active menus, shoving the navigation to the top with more graphical buttons, but i'm just concerned on the design, for a personal site/blog, d'ya reckon it's up to it? Thanks in advance. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZulfadlyAshBurn Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 you may want to check your z-index a the youtube player would be over the music player. the style, script & divs should be after the <head> tag and not before <html> tag. not all navigation links are not working. IMO, for the player I realized that the duration is 0/230. this might confuse users. use 0s : 230s instead. the top player bar which displays Now Playing is redundant as the player is there to display the info. not a big fan of the color choices though. those are my critiques.

Peter. Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Thanks for that, I realise the script's coming before the head, it's because I included a file above my header file, just for testing. I figure it probably is reduntant having that at the top too, i'll scrap that. I put it there when I fooled around with an opaque music bar. Still under development so the links aren't really real yet. Thanks for your criticism, you say you're not a big fan of the color, i'm willing to play about with that, can I ask if you like the style or do you think maybe a whole different idea may be better?

ZulfadlyAshBurn Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 The layout is kinda of old style. you should play around with css3. also bear in mind that everytime the users changes page, the song replays. kind of irritating. try jquery ajax.

Haven't really looked at CSS3 at all if i'm honest, i'll definitely check it out soon. I realise the song stops, it shouldn't start to play again though(?) as autoplay shouldn't be enabled. Pages are going to be fetched with AJAX at some point, thanks. Im only getting a blue fading background? Yeah, sorry, was playing around with it, moving my mess of a code before the DOCTYPE to body, but it seems to make it a mess, so i'ma leave it there 'till I can be bothered fooling around.
