um.... right - can I just tell you that EVERYONE knows of flamingtext and the variations in the pictures make it look worse. Also, the site really isn't "designed" as more "put together". You have a few images, and just decided to add them with text.

I know the effect you were trying to put together, but you just haven't applied it that well.

I think you need to sketch out what you want your website to look like, and then build it around that.

You are half way to a great design, you just need to remove the tackyness - the email address picture is un-readable, and not needed for instance.

Also, if you are selling domains you need to put something there that will make people want to buy them off you. Even if it is just a description or something. FinancialWell.com for instance could say: "An easilly brandable name, with great potential". Another good idea would be to have screenshots of the stats from those websites.

May I just ask how you made this website? The table size varies you see. On the homepage it is wider than the banner at the top, whereas on the sales procedure it is just as big.

I am sorry if I am being a bit negative. I know where you are coming from with the design. Simple designs always work the best - but then again... too simple and it looks cheap and tacky.

First of all - this should be under reviews i think..

Then: It's very plain, very white and very dull. The color should have a white BG since the rest of the site has so and it's basicly just hangin' in the middle of nowhere. Fonts used everywhere are not nice IMO and effects in banner are ugly.

Needs alot of work and you sould try adding graphics and etc. to spice up the site insted of just keeping it plain coded!

Best of luck on the site, mate!

I wasn't any better when i started myself

I used namu6. I dont know anything about script or graphics so i just made it the easiest program. If you can please tell me what program can i use that simple and how to add graphics and stuff

Thanks

Web Page Maker is a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) builder. Download it for free at download.com .. to make graphics you need something like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro..

Best of luck, mate!

I use Macromedia DreamWeaver for coding/WYSIWYG
I also use PhotoShop for my graphics, but there are loads of programs out there

Can I suggest NOT using a WYSIWYG editor, as it gives exact coordinates for items... such as tables, and therefore different resoloutions and different browsers give different vaiations of the site.

It will be a great site... I can see it in my [hypothetical] tea leaves!

Best Wishes for the new site
