keturahuriel Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I need constructive criticism. I am somewhat of an intermediate/novice with this whole website thing. I need as much help as I can get. So please, just to tell me if you find a typo(rare, cause I am the Grammar Police), a broken link, anything of that sort, or even just to tell me you like it is fine. Criticism of any kind is welcomed. I want to know your opinions and to know what to improve. Thanks Much Very.My site. SO HA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synook Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Design:The banner is a bit high-contrast to the rest of the site. Perhaps a more blended-in one (black bg white lines)?Try to use san-serif fonts for screen content. Serifs are for hard copies.I would suggest centering the site. Easier to read at higher resolutions, as people don't have to move their heads to the left :)Do you have to have that "Powered by 000webhost.com" button?Coding:I would strongly recommend using CSS more extensively - more scalable, easier to use, more powerful, and far far far easier to maintain.If you used CSS, you could also get rid of those multiple nested tables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keturahuriel Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 I'm still working on the CSS thing. Which banner are you talking about? The one with Gaara and the shiny eye? or the ad? The ad's from my webhost are only there because I get money for each person who even clicks on it. If they join I get $5 as opposed o $0.25 for each click.

Synook Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Which banner are you talking about?The top one - it seems out of proportion, and the fact that it has a white background when the page's is black highlights this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Criticism of any kind is welcomed. I want to know your opinions and to know what to improve. Thanks Much Very.My site. SO HA! The image in your banner looks out of focus. Because the background image is black and white, the contrast shifts against the red foreground text are extreme. I would consider floating the banner image to the right and move the nav bar up to balance the top of the page.The green counter doesn't look integral to the rest of the page.I would move my style sheet inside my head tags to avoid any suprising style bugs, Like so:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="layout.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" /> <title>KKGAARA Home</title> <meta name="keywords" content="" /> <meta name="description" content="" /><style type="text/css">.hovermenu {list-style: none; display: inline;}.hovermenu {padding: 2px 2.0em; text-decoration: none; float: left; color: #FF0000; background-color: #000000; border: 0px solid #000000;}.hovermenu a:hover {background-color: #660000; border-style: outset;}.hovermenu a:active {border-style: inset;}</style></head> <body bgcolor="#000000" link="#333333"><img src="images/title1.JPG" alt="KKGaara main pic"> <div id="wrapper"><div class="navbar"> <body bgcolor="#000000" text="#FF0000" link="#CD0000" vlink="#660000"><div class="hovermenu"><ul><li><a href="index.htm">Home</a></li><br><li><a href="profiles.htm">Profiles</a></li><br><li><a href="poetry.htm">Poetry</a></li><br><li><a href="gallery.htm">Galleries</a></li><br><li><a href="order.htm">Order <br>Art</a></li><br><li><a href="songz.htm">Songs</a></li><br><li><a href="calendar.htm">Calendar</a></li><br></ul></div> I also moved the style rules to the right some to make it easier to see and read your selectors.The hover styles for your links are dramatic but the contents of the link can't be read once they are hovered on. I would change the color of the text in the links to something with much stronger contrast with the background. You can do that by adding the rule, color:#000; to the .hovermenu a:hover selector in your CSS. I've always liked red text on a black background.
