Hi,

I'm trying to optimize the HOMEPAGE of this site to load very fast, especially under dial up connections. The ads I don't care about loading fast (since they take a bit longer anyway) ... I just want the content to load as fast as possible.

http://www.TodaysNews.us

It only has 8 images, with a total of about 9 KB to download.

I'm not expecting this to have great reviews because I know the site is fairly ugly. .... on the homepage. Other pages which I will soon set up will be full of professional-looking graphics, etc. But still fast

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/web-design-reviews/126129-todaysnews-us-built-for-speed.html

Also, is it colorful enough? Thanks!

Itz very fast loading for sure lol. Colors i dont like em.

mholt · 09-23-2005, 06:38 PM

Ah the colors will be customizable soon anyways. Any other reviews? Btw, thanks lilgee.

its a little too colorful

and isn't it supposed to be easier for reading, if the text is broken up into narrow columns? like in newspapers.

there isn't much content to read there right now, but later on, you might want to think about a columnar layout.

yes, it does load very fast

Considering what it is-- it's good.

It looks OK but the Ads doesnt look very good in this location. Background also looks very empty.

too many colors and the page something to relate it all together

i does what you say it would and load fast , but i think there are a few to many colours on the page

The font used for each topic is the only problem I see I really dont have anything wrong with the colours!
