0 Guest deadzombie Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 ok, any site that expands to kill all available desktop space needs help. The site looks nice, but kill the auto-full size business; that's super annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Vetius Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 I am very critical and have high standards.... That said... I do not like the blue color scheme, especially if you are going for a pro look. If you really like the look, which I don't, I would go with number 3 and move the hand behind "unique touch". But I really think you should think of something more clever for that hand, like maybe a hand placing a letter in the words, and the letter woudn't be straight to show its action....

0 Nxt_Gate Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 Agree with deadzombie..exclude that uato maximize... and i really don't like the title bar..it get too much my attention and didn't take a real look to the site.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 wog boy Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 you want comments i have so comments.... :p basically there are a few things that you could change to make it more professional. the scrolling title bar and status bar aren't a good look... looks like your trying to hide the links people click on... like a warez site.. umm the white background on your log doesn't fit in with the rest on your site.

0 Tim Dorr Veteran Posted March 16, 2002 Veteran Share Posted March 16, 2002 Sorry, but this page needs a lot of work. First off, lose the javascripts. Those are for people who don't have actual content and want to trick users into thinking their site is "cool" (but ultimately fail) Secondly, you need a consistant color scheme. I don't care what it is, things just need to be similiar along the page Next, the right bar is totally out of place. It throws the centering of the page to the right and messes up the natural flow of reading.. Last, lose the frames. They are totally unneccessary for this site with this particular layout and tend to mess things up on lower resolutions... I like the current logo I'm seeing with the #3 look without a blue hand. Much less freaky... :D Get to work, then I'll say it's good ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest deadzombie Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 Pay attention to the three previous posts: These guys are right on target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 the shrink Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 This is not about the graphics, but links in the right frame LOAD in the right frame, which they're obviously not supposed to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DigitalResource Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 put the hand on the right maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jewelzz Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 I think the hand is creepy. Reminds me of Thing from the Adams Family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Unique Touch Posted March 17, 2002 Author Share Posted March 17, 2002 Thanks for the replies guys. I changed the color of the hand now. Check out the site to see it. The links on the rifht hand side ar the the last 10 posts from my forum. That frame is in PHP. When you click on alink it loads it into that frame instead of a new page. Anyone know what the PHP equivalent to target="_blank" is??? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 =NickJ= Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 Read what the guys above said, they were spot on target, the site has too many gimics at the mo, lose the scrolling title bar, perhaps just keep the scrolling status bar. Also, i don't really think the colour scheme fits, you havent made it consistent across the layout, if you're going to have blue then make the whole thing with a blue theme, if not then stick to white. personally i think if you got rid of the blue on either side it would look much better str8 off. You gotta pick a particular colour scheme and stick to it, the orange text in the menu but then blue text in the main page really doesnt go, and i dunno wot colour the scrollbar's supposed to be! And PLEASE get rid of the sound! Sorry if i've been overly critical :s Those criteria are how i design my sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 iconman Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 Nice site I just redesigned mine check it out @ www.jabinc.cjb.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 YahoKa Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 Your site will crash and burn if a customer sees that it auto-expands to full screen. It never ceases to amaze me how good designers miss the basics. Go read Web Design - In A Nutshell it is for beginners but it discusses design issues designers overlook too often.

0 +.Aaron Subscriber¹ Posted March 25, 2002 Subscriber¹ Share Posted March 25, 2002 OK, one thing (complaint) about your site. I dont like sites that change the size of my windows and stuff. It is an annoyance. Do something else, not making the window size change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
