Guardian-Mage Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I recently was awarded the job of designing and programming an anti-bullying website for paradigm options. It was an interesting task as the website is hosted by Allura Communications and their server supports ASP, while my specialty is PHP. Nevertheless I completed the website and would like to know what you all think. I did not type up any of the messages, I coded it, and designed it. Please don't criticize the writing. http://bully.allura.com/web20/ Please note that it is supposed to be kid friendly and catch your eye Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/48173-anti-bullying-website-for-paradigm-options/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 the fact it seems you had to justify the colours/eyecatchiness, etc kinda stated up front that you yourself may already see problems with it. it is pretty bright but otherwise quite plain. maybe you'd be good to take a look at sites aimed at the age group you're targeting and taking idea of the design, notably the use of bright colours. the colours you have could POSSIBLY remain, but not in the large doses they exist in at the moment. take a look here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/ i'm not a massive fan of the BBC as a company, but their sites are second to not many - in this case, that's a sub-site with children/young teens as target audience, yet manages to look quite "grown up" and professional and hence not at all patronising. Like I say - try and find a few benchmarks and popular sites for your target audience and figure out what they're doing and why it works.

Guardian-Mage Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 I still haven't had time to tone it down but I added an image that acts as a navigation tool as well. More images to come, and I will tone it down soon.

paulmc Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 you should maybe have a look at Adobe kuler which would help you come up with a better colour scheme than your current one Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/48173-anti-bullying-website-for-paradigm-options/#findComment-241080 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcombs_31 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Wow, colors are terrible. The gaps between content areas are not even. The menu needs work. You need to fix up all margins and padding.

igor berger Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/ Purty nice site. Very creative and interactive! But what is the empty space on the right, when you viewing on 1024? For advertising? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/48173-anti-bullying-website-for-paradigm-options/#findComment-245331 Share on other sites More sharing options...
