Friends Saying My Website Is Crap!


Question

My mates say my website (Elliot's World) is boring and crap. It's REALLY gets me down, since I've spent months writing it up! All they come up with when I ask them what THEY would like to see, all they suggest is porn, MP3s, or jokes. All I can tell them in return, is that's it's pointless; since there are 1,000,000 places on the Internet to get each of them! Anyone got any ideas on how to improve my website in general to stop em moaning? Kinda like a site critique

looks fine to me... nothing really much you can do if its just about you... if your friends think your page is crap then tell them to make it look better.. :D

Sweet site, it loads really quickly and its got a great layout

You could spruce up the colour a bit, make it a little more bright, but thats up to you. Ignore your friends, its just a simple case of the old green eyed monster with them

if you're really desparate for some comments so you can change something and feel better.. :p i'd complain about the amount of links you have.. i mean.. you're categorizing, and subcategorizing everything.. i just think some of it could be compressed... not as loose.. plus a lot of people are.. yes, sadly.. lazy! so i'll just insert that.. and see what ya think :p

people hear 'frontpage' and automatically think 'wysiwyg editor' and blow off the use of the program.. laboring under the impression that the creator has little/no actual html knowledge.. i like frontpage (don't have it though) because it's so easy to click a tab and see a real working preview of what you've coded.. yes, manual coding.. :p

I think it's too dark colored.

Otherwise it's okay.

But I agree with DoNuTjC, if your friends think it's crap ask them for

sugesstions, besides pr0n & mp3's.

Good luck !

Its fine, but boring (your friends are right :D )

Why not add some thumbs of the wallpapers, screensaver, etc on the front page?

You can place some pics of the content in other areas of your site.

just my 2 cents ;)

Hello. Personally, I think your site looks fine and serves its purpose. Frontpage isnt bad either, who cares. The thing that is probably make them think that it is crap is that there are no graphics or nothing really snazzy. Thats not a bad thing because you arent intending to have anything of the sort, so I dont know what they are thinking. If you want to expand your site, maybe add some graphics or some more content. Also, I agree that you should put up a blog. Maybe try using b2 if you have support for PHP at your webhost. Hope I was of some assistance and good luck!

:happy:

As many others have said, it's a nice clean site. You can see that a lot of work went into it, but, maybe a bit ?too? austere<:whistle:tle: If you're missing anything, It's a little m'attitude'. Show us some of the things (visualthat you like. A few more pictures/graphics/effects, and, even sound would start to give it more fla:yes:yes:

And, you're right; You don't need to get into porn and mp3s to achieve charact:wacko:cko:

Just don't care, if it's a personal site, don't expect 5000 hits a day. It's for your own use and you'll do what you want to with it. If they were TRULY your friends, they would respect your site and not make fun of it. Tell them that.

I would suggest work with Macromedia Firework. It is a GREAT tool for creating web pages. ^_^

I think you need more colors and not to simple and visit more web pages for hints, tips and references.

heh, just my 2 cents.

You mean Dreamweaver? Fireworks is a graphics-editting program...

I use Dreamweaver... but only the code view for some reason. And it makes image-mapping a lot easier.

Nice site, clean layout :-)

it looks fine and loads fast, and as u say it is your personal site, not a traffic grabbing money laundering site or anything, so it doesn trealy matter too much what your mates thing, so long as you like it

just experiment til ure happy :)

EDIT > BTW pictures like your screenshop are better encoded to jpegs than gifs :) (In my opinion)

You need content... your site loads fast and great layout, but where is all the good stuff. You have boring stuff... everyone puts there specs and stuff like that... is this a school website with info about yourself for a job or something? Humor... color, family pictures i dunno, anything... you getting drunk and doing stupid stuff. Be creative, better content more visitors!
