All i see you need to do is take tha lines out of tha boxs.

its a bit on the plain side, but you have a solid base to work from. Maybe add some graphics and spice up the text a little, other then that its not bad.

You have had this site up for review before. The text is difficult to read, I would suggest that you make it a little bit darker and larger. I would also suggest changing your background to something in the shade of blue, it would assist in making this site not so plain.

Slow at loading....
Your website is to plain... grey on grey don't help.

Jakey,

Critiques can appear to be rude, but they're designed to get around a person's ego (which can be in denial about the quality and sense of their design). It can feel like you're in a hot seat (and you want to defend yourself), but the trick is to calm down, pull back and see the whole picture. Then you'll see what everyone else sees but you -- which is how you find out the true worth of your design.

Remember one of my first critiques in art class in high school. I felt the design was great (nice composition, nice flow, nice colors). But 30 people each gave an opinion and I was crying inside as if they pulled out my soul. The problem was the composition wasn't balanced. I concentrated too much on what to put in the design, and following the Master's example of the flow, and making sure the colors matched -- but -- didn't bother to pull out and see the whole design to know that it was lopsided.

From that day on I learned a very valuable lesson even more than 20 years later, one that I remember from now on.

Critiques (or as they're called here, reviews) is how artists learn their craft, and that's how site owners learn about our craft.

So patience is important here so you'll learn some new ideas.

Not bad but I would say that you should take out all the diagonal scan lines in the context boxes. Other than that it looks really nice.

I apologize, I know how difficult and time consuming it can be to create a website. I am so sorry if you feel I was being rude. I would in no way want to discourage anyone or make them feel as if I do not see the hard work they put into their designs.

Jakey · 10-11-2005, 06:28 PM

I really wasnt trying to be rude, and im sorry too. I just read the NPStocks thread and saw you post something about it..and i kinda got a lil mad..sorry.

I didnt make the layout but have spent 10's of hours customizing so its not so ;odd;. I think it looks good just working on the right navigation box

missbrackish · 10-11-2005, 07:13 PM

i really think the text should be bigger. Im having to strain just to read it
