    New Site Launched... Please Crit

    Hey that's a cracking improvement over the old site. It looks far more professional now. I like the neutral colour scheme adn the background colour, I know it's just my opinion but I'm not a big fan of white bgrounds on websites, they're difficult to look at and make some text hard to read –...

    Another website to crit.

    Thanks for your help that's great. I've 'hopefully' added that script to the correct part of my html and uploaded the javascript file. You can test it at http://www.lukesturgeon.co.uk/main.html I was wondering if you could check and let me know if it's working, it's just I'm using Mac and the...

    Another website to crit.

    hey thanks for the positive remarks as well as the useful criticism. I appreciate it. I've altered the background now but only subtly, I don't want the background to overwhelm the main site content however, this way it fills the void a little. I've also added a slight gradient at the top, but...

    Another website to crit.

    Hey thanks for those pointers. I've increased the speed of the movie and the text & animations run faster now. I've also changed some of the content in the portfolio section now and altered the scroll buttons so that they're always visible. I'm not sure what to do about the home page being...

    Another website to crit.

    Hey I've been currently working on a portfolio website – I say currently I've been so busy with other projects & an exhibition I've only manages to spend 2 days on this so far, one to design and layout and another to code it. As it's been so quickly completed I already know there's hundred of...

    Animated Buttons?? Can it be done?

    Hey, this could easily done in Flash. When you create a new button, you'll need to specify the up, over, down, and hit state. up = it's normal position over = when the cursor rolls over down = when the mouse is clicked hit = the sensitive area of the button Just wack an animation in the...

    Hi, newcome requiring help

    Hey, firstly it is possible to buy the domain name with one company and host with another. I've actually just had to do this for a client however, it does come with it's share of teething problems and hassles. If you can, I would recommend getting hosting and domain registration all from the...

    New guy who needs expert help? Want to build my own site

    Although I've never done this before. I looked into it once and decided for myself and most home users – it's far more hassle than it's worth. Firstly as StephanieCordray said it'll all depend on your ISP, then you'll need to install a webserver, then any extra scripting technologies. The main...

    New Website

    Hey just to let you know, I viewed your site on my Mac using firefox and there wasn't a problem. But using safari (pretty much default by most Mac users) the nav buttons stack up at the top left of the page forcing the main content off to the right. you might have to play with your table setup?

    Hey, new here.

    Hey, although I'm still a learner myself (I don't think anyone could say they know everything) I've always found plain old google to be the best source for tutorials. It'll give links to phpbuilder.com / php.net / hotscripts.com etc. Although the best thing is to already have an idea of what it...

    first site!

    Hey it's nice for a first site, simple colours and all the text is legible. I did notice that you used Flash for the links. Now don't get me wrong – I love working in Flash, interacting with Flash and looking at new and clever uses for Flash on new websites – however, if it's just simple...

    Feed back please

    I'd also concentrate on the type, there's different fonts in the header the body copy, the navigation, the different hosting options. I think the overall design has just too much of stuff. Reduce the amount of colours, the type styles, and get a simple layout, 2 columns maybe. Try one column...

    Have you got a link to an uploaded version of the site? Then we'd be able to see where little changes and tweaks could be made!

    Feed back please

    Hey, I would think the first thing to do is knock at least 2 colours from the site, there seems to be too much colour, and no real hierarchy! Once, you've got a nice colour palette, say no more than 3 mains, then I'd start moving bits around and using the colour scheme to create some sort of design!

    New site redesign - please review - good

    (woops sorry, knocked enter?) what I was trying to say was that, I keep expecting to see the right hand column lined up with the nav buttons at the top, the same way the left column's left margin does? That's just me though, I'm always trying to find grids and lines in things! It's a really...

    New site redesign - please review - good

    Hey it's a really nice site, with a great colour scheme and attention to detail, although I agree the main body copy should be enlarge 1pt or 2! Also the background images take a little time to load even on my 2meg connection, it's not big a problem but on sum pages it makes loading look a...

    Some feedback on this flash site???

    haha, yeah that'd do it! It's the worst when you know you should sleep. But you just lay wide awake thinking of the best way to get something done, wishing it was morning again so you could just get on with it!

    Please check my website...

    One thing you could do is change the way the buttons work for the left navigation bar. At the moment onRollover the font changes to a bold version. Which nudges all the content below and end's up making that side a little jerky? Nice colour scheme, There's alot of purple space in the header...

    What program did you use to build the site? if it's standard html is should be to tough, a little tweak here, a little change there! If it's a photoshoped jobby, then you'll have to either go back to the drawing board or spend some serious time tweaking it. It's best to start off with a blank...

    Some feedback on this flash site???

    That's a good idea, thanks for that. For all those that are interested there's now another 3 pages on the site. I've got all 4 'understand' pages done, and the first page in the 'improve' section! It's slowly getting there, funny thing is, when I've finised this (hopefully by friday) i've got 2...
