aircooled57 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 this is a work in progress of mine and i would love to hear your thoughts on its design many thanks louis http://www.purplefusion.co.uk Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/91431-critique-my-site/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
tippy_102 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 That looks great! The only changes I would like to see is match the spacing between the bottom of "recent tutorials" and "contact us", and make the background colors of the headings (recent tutorials, etc) stretch the whole length of the div. And it doesn't validate - I get 33 errors. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/91431-critique-my-site/#findComment-468499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircooled57 Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 thanks i will get cracking on the validation its one of my first sites so i put a lot of time in to it glad you like it Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/91431-critique-my-site/#findComment-468744 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfmason Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I like the overall look and feel. Most of your 56 validation errors are from missing alts and tags not being closed properly ie <meta foo="bar" /> and <img src="foo" alt="bar" /> instead of just <meta foo="bar"> and <img src="foo"> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/91431-critique-my-site/#findComment-468869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian-Mage Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Honestly, if your going to provide an html validation link right on your site, make sure it is valid html. Other than that, I was impressed, great design, great color choices, everything is clear and easy to access.

Fearpig Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Just a content suggestion... do you need the flash movie on every page? It takes up a lot of space.

suttercain Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 The site is really nice. I like the fact you stayed clear of tables and did everything in CSS. With that being said I do have to agree with Fearpig. The flash logo/banner is not needed for every page. I highly suggest shrinking the height on all subordinate pages and maybe make some static images for that space that reflect those pages specifically.

atholon Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Looks great. I liked the flash! Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/91431-critique-my-site/#findComment-474675 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stooney Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I noticed instead of having smaller versions of images, you just shrink them. This makes them ugly. For example this image: Adobe-Dreamweaver-CS3-256x256.png is being shown at 70x70. It's just really pixelated. I would suggest having a 70x70 version to use.

tarun Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Snazzzzy This Design Is Generally Excellent Butt.. :-\ Apart From The Stuff Mentioned Above The Only Thing I Dont Like Is The Login Form (But That Is Just My PERSONAL Opinion). Maybe Trying Adding Some Style To The Text Fields & Login Button.

TheFilmGod Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 doesn't validate I don't like how the top left banner is really plain white, you should center the logo text. Otherwise it's really good!

unsider Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I suppose I'll add my two cents. I like it, the colors match, and it looks clean, which IMO is a plus. But, I don't like the way the login form looks, it seems to stand out to me, mainly because it's structure is so much different than everything else (unless you wanted to do that?). Other than that it looks nice and professional. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/91431-critique-my-site/#findComment-483614 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikeon Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 heres my 2 cents. having the title on a loop is annoying try this: one repititon, and then fade to some cool effect and then Purple Fusion. It'll have more of an impact. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/91431-critique-my-site/#findComment-483667 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll have more of an impact. That's a good point, empahasize the purplefusion, and make sure to hold it for a while, then loop it back. The more you display your site name, the more likely it is someone will remember it and come back.
