Lack of Ideas

Cooper · 07-20-2005, 03:06 PM

At the moment, the layout of my site (in the sig) is kinda stupid. A redesign is what it needs. Thing is lack of inspiration has haunted me for the last couple of months now, and i'm not sure what the new layout should consist of. Any ideas?

Hey,

Why do you want to change it ? I think it looks really good.

Start by removing or modifying the google ads.

What he said. Definately take away from the feel. Move it to the bottom or something.

He can't ,unless he gets another webhost . They are the standard ads on top of screen when you get a free hosted page from that company.

But yes. Before changing layout, Lose the Free host and then get your own Adsense Account or CJ (or Similiar CPM,PPC) so the Ads can go on the side or bottom .
You may then make enough income from the ads to pay for the hosting.

yeah i think its a great design, but the ads totally wreck the feel in their current location.

maybe if you moved to a different host you could put them in a table below that Liksang search ad thing

Cooper · 07-21-2005, 04:36 AM

Yeah, the ads are kind of annoying but until i finish all the content they have to remain.
When the content is done, Gaming Source will probably host me.

I really agree with the others about the ads thingy. Its distracting. But otherwise, I think your layout is good.

harjitsingh · 07-23-2005, 03:57 AM

Hey.. I feel you shld just move the Google Adsense way to the bottom of your page... and have some white space to have a design relief

ammo · 07-23-2005, 06:27 AM

Get rid of that whole white bit at the op all together really. google ads at the bottom and it will be fine!

guetizo · 07-24-2005, 05:36 PM

Yeah! Put the ads in the bottom... The page look very nice!

I cant move the Google ads, they come with the hosting. Anyway, i should be getting better hosting in the next couple of days.

LeetPCUser · 07-25-2005, 06:52 AM

I love the site but definately hate that ad. You should have that ad crawl the right side or sit at the bottom. That completely turns me off to the site even though the rest of the site is just plain amazing!

Cooper · 07-25-2005, 11:23 AM

Well, the ads are gone now, but the site is down for a couple of days because i'm moving hosts. Anyways, Thanks for all your sugestions

LeetPCUser · 07-25-2005, 11:24 AM

I still see the site up and running...

Cooper · 07-25-2005, 05:18 PM

It was, for some people anyway. Dunno why =/
