What do you think of...?
Hi all, I've only just came across this forum on my travels through the world wide wonderland . It looks pretty good, there are some very helpful people here! Anyways, I've been working on a site on and off for a while now and only recently hosted it online. I'm not quite sure of what direction to take it in (more tutorials, more tools, a blog or something). I'm not planning to make a profit of it or anything, but would really like people to use it! So, what do you think of it, check out the colour styles on the bottom right and let me know what one is best! Thank you www.heaphydesigns.comwww.HeaphyDesigns.com |

The opening paragraph, under the "HeaphyDesigns.com" header, should ideally explain what the site is about, or what service you are offering instead of the cliched and useless "You can navigate throughout the site via the navigation bar on the top", etc. Not much to say about the design, it looks like a pre-made 'out the box' number. Some decent generic beginner level webdev content you've got, if you're looking for direction i'd continue with that, I think a blog would be out of place As for styles, default sits best with me Oh, and welcome to the forum  |

Borders, borders, borders. Too many gradients, reminds me of Windows 95. Red on dark grey in the nav (hover) is definitely not readable. Not well balanced at the top. Holes in A and P (logo) have a different colour than the background. What's "stored pages?". Why do I see webmaster links? I know what browser I have. Why do I need a clock in the status bar? What's it for? No offense, because technically it's well done (except you could have used CSS instead of tables), and it shows a great start. But right now, it doesn't impress me. -= In theory, theory should work in practice. =-

LOL! No, its not a premade system. I made it all myself, via Notepad, then upgraded to HTML Kit  I really do appreciate all this feedback by the way. I'll make stored pages and webmaster links more clearly explained. Keep it coming! |

It's funny, some other people have mentioned that it looks like a PHPNuke, and that I must have edited to make it look similar to others! Edit: Wow, I just looked here, its freaky how alike that site looks! Even the poll is there! I wrote my site using notepad, then used HTML Kit. I only recently converted all the content to PHP, so I could then avail of the #include facility (as I have lots of the same table cells occuring over many pages). |
