I like it.

50k all together isn't too bad. Seems to go well with the current page.

Something doesn't seem quite exactly right though with the images in the upper right. I'm not sure exactly what I'd change though.

Are you going to have rollovers on the navigation? If you do try using a different color than purple like red or yellow.

I had someone make the log for me but I am not sure if I am done messing around with it. Any suggestions? Wha do you all think of the logo?

I like the header a lot. It is very professional working and does wonders. If applied right to a site it would look awesome. Keep up the good work with all of your stuff. I would highly recommend keeping that and then when your site is up having a poll from visitors to review different aspects of your website.

Raspberry · 07-25-2005, 11:31 AM

The site has been up and running for about 4 months. I had someone create the logo and I tweaked it a bit.

Any other suggestions?

LeetPCUser · 07-25-2005, 11:32 AM

I would suggest on the site to not have a full purple background. Have the other background a grey or something. Have the main body purple.

Ben Woodhouse · 07-25-2005, 11:47 AM

I think its cool, it doesnt need to be fixed atall its fine.

Stella · 07-25-2005, 11:53 AM

The header you made looks good. I have to agree that the purple bkg is a bit distracting. Maybe you can make your text on a very light gray (thats in your header too) so the purple isn't so dominant as an all over colour and will blend in with the botton of the header.

LeetPCUser · 07-25-2005, 11:55 AM

Yeah the purple is all over. You need to get a secondary color. A white or light grey would be a good secondary color.

Infernal · 07-25-2005, 12:01 PM

not a bad header, matchesthe content imo

I will try to mess with the background of the site.

bhyraj · 07-25-2005, 10:23 PM

nice and cool site.

ammo · 07-26-2005, 02:07 AM

That looks nice, id change the font but otherwise its cool.

StudioWorks · 07-26-2005, 11:29 AM

Hey,

Looks kinda good. Font needs to be changed IMHO i would use some pixel fonts and also the color scheme needs a little revision but it looks good.

All the best,

I don't like the font effects and you need to fade the picture in the upper right more so it blends in with the purple background where the picture and the background meet.

Raspberry · 07-26-2005, 02:20 PM

The font on the navigation or the logo needs to be changed?

music_man · 07-26-2005, 02:42 PM

Hi

I like the use of photography on the top left and the colours. I found the outlines a little stark and I was wondering what titles you would have for people who are not logged in.

The navigation text seems inconsistent. That is, you have a "profile" and "private messages" link and a "log in" link. Perhaps it would be a better idea to have those options available when you are logged in only as you wouldn't be able to access your private messages if you are not logged in.

The curves don't seem to be parallel in the curve on the left - maybe if you made them parallel (that is, the same distance apart from one another) and made the outline of the font a white colour then it would fit better. At the moment you have soft edges for your curves and a strong black for your navigation.

I suggest that you have your navigation in text format in the way you can display how many private messages they have and it leaves room for expansion.

The "register" link seems to be out of alignment with the other navigation. You could also add a texture to the grey - perhaps even a fade out the bottom.

The font used for the navigation thing is not looking cool, try changing it

rest is fine
