new Webdesigner seeks help

Fkrule · 07-22-2005, 03:21 AM

Hi i have designed my fist site.i know it is not great please offer me some advice to improve.Mysite

Wildchild22 · 07-22-2005, 04:40 AM

a couple of things that come to mind

> try and put a header for the page
> try changing the font, Times new roman very rarely looks good
> try putting the whole site into a box, it looks really open at the mo
> how come the first 5 games are boxed and the rest aren't?
> the colour on the links doesn't look too great.

Also, it probably can't be helped, but every time you go back to the "home" page it adds another link bar at the top.

Sorry if i sound a little too critical, im just trying to think of ways to improve it

LeetPCUser · 07-22-2005, 05:09 AM

Hey wildchild let's just start one by one to help him out. Let's tell him first to get a header. If you need a header I can create one fairly cheap for ya. You also need a logo...start there.

Fkrule · 07-22-2005, 05:16 AM

Thanks guys. wildchild thanks fo the tips yeah you are right about the link. i'll get on with it. and i also design a logo as well.

Wildchild22 · 07-22-2005, 05:19 AM

like Bryan said, the main thing for now is a header, and possibly integrate a logo into the header too

LeetPCUser · 07-22-2005, 05:22 AM

I am trying to build a portfolio...

ammo · 07-22-2005, 06:13 AM

Try and get adobe photoshop, its one great program that can help you add alot of nice grpahics to your designs!

Fkrule · 07-22-2005, 07:52 AM

Guys i have changed the homepage and added a logo and a title tell me what you think

LeetPCUser · 07-22-2005, 09:17 AM

The logo still needs work.

Fkrule · 07-22-2005, 09:25 AM

when you say it needs work what exactly do you mean

Amnezia · 07-22-2005, 09:26 AM

My adivce would be to get on google and find yourself some tutorials on basic webdesign using HTML.

LeetPCUser · 07-22-2005, 09:37 AM

Yeah, learning a little html would be nice. CSS styles would also be a nice.

StudioWorks · 07-22-2005, 02:35 PM

Hey,

If this is your first site then you did a good job. I would start by improving it now. Create a header and logo.. put some css styles in the text and navigation and remove the gif .. it's kinda annoying.

Fkrule · 07-23-2005, 12:25 AM

The k at the top is the logo and the title is the header. when you say remove the gif what are you talking about

vip-ip · 07-23-2005, 12:30 AM

What's with the ball on the bottom? :$ I do not see how it's relevant to the site content? :/

well its a cricket ball and the site is about cricket and forumla one so id say there is a fairly strong correlation.

vip-ip · 07-23-2005, 12:39 AM

Ohhhh I always imagined cricket balls white :$ My bad, sorry, that makes sense

Fkrule · 07-23-2005, 12:50 AM

Donot worry about it i have had a lot of people sying that needs to go do you think it does

vip-ip · 07-23-2005, 12:53 AM

Pretty much, yeah, along with many other things. I can't even call it a web-design rather than a web-page, there's not much actully "designed" more coded, I'd say.

Fkrule · 07-23-2005, 12:54 AM

what else

Ben Woodhouse · 07-24-2005, 03:30 PM

It is defintely not bad for ure 1st site. i agree with wildchild, put it all around a box, try designing a logo and changing the font. also if u can add a forum(u can pick up a template easy) adn have polls e.g. who dya think will win the malaysian grand prix mclaren or ferrari etc. loads of little u mite think are unnoticable will improve the look of a website.

vtumminello · 07-24-2005, 07:01 PM

ok...even though it might sound sarcastic, its not...
newwebpick has been lately (for who knows what reason) picking a lot of OLD OLD SCHOOL type sites like yours....consider entering it into their reward thing and you might get one....if you cruise thru their winners you will see (along with amazing ones) some old school ones

cheers

Fkrule · 07-24-2005, 11:38 PM

how do i enter

LeetPCUser · 07-25-2005, 05:11 AM

Hey I suggest heading over to www.funky-chickens.com and learning some HTML

Fkrule · 07-25-2005, 07:51 AM
