dcuellar Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 This is my website. www.unifiedchamp.com This is my first time putting a website together. Lost the old el job-o and decided I'd start a forum about my favorite sport. Tell me what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpower Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 well you've used a template system...which is ok...graphics are a tad(well rather seriously) over the top on bandwidth. Try compressing them a little. Also I have a Huge monitor (yes size IS important despite what your girlfriend's says). It looks a bot odd in there as the header image is too small for the site.

dcuellar Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 bandwidth I have plenty. The header though, I know needs to be adjusted. I would set it to fit the screen, but then we'd get a stretched image. I've found that most computers screens work so I haven't really bothered. I'm going to try and figure out a different way to put this header up...maybe in 3 pieces. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpower Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 You need to have an area which can expand and contract unnoticed. SO your current header will not work as is. Look a t other sites to see what they have done. I encourage looking at multiple screen sizes as the web is becoming harder to design for as we have NEVER had such diverse monitor/resolutions to design for. I can only image as the net goes truly mobile that this will get worse. As for bandwidth...you may have plenty but your visitors may not! to see expandable areas in its simplest form look at the tool bar at http://mambo-foundation.org/. They have a fixed centre piece with a repeated edge allowing fluidity across vast monitor ranges. As I said...simplest form so should get your brain thinking.

dcuellar Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 I'm thinking about just avoiding putting anything on the edges of my banner. The banner has a clear background and the gradient image you see behind it is repeating across the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFilmGod Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I don't understand what exactly there is to critique...? You used a content management system - choose some colors and uploaded a header image. - So in reality, you really didn't do much... Any critique should go the original person who created the CMS and not you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcuellar Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 I never said I made it from scratch. I forgot, this forum has members with so much knowledge in creating websites that I didn't think you wanted to critique more than just my choice of template, colors, placement, content. I'm sorry, I'll just stick to posting at other forums with lesser mortals all mighty TheFilmGod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpower Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 WHOA....bit harsh dc This is a critique section...not a blow smoke up your arse section. His comments are valid. all you have done is create a graphic or two so there really isnt much to critique? Don't be offended though, just take the comments on board or ask your friends instead (you know... the ones that tell you what you want to hear) . Still wishing you good luck Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
