I'm not good at this

The design is basically finished. Just need the content and the logo/banner.

What do you think? Thanks.

Jeanco · 03-01-2004, 08:40 PM

I think its a start.

I think the site has potential and the more you play around the more you'll grow. The header definately needs to go, its crap right now. I'm not huge on the colour scheme either - its not easy on the eyes to read. Users stay to read content... if doing this gives them a headache then their gone and not coming back

webscorpion · 03-01-2004, 10:06 PM

Thanks for your insight, Ryan.

nicholas · 03-01-2004, 11:55 PM

It's a nice concept, and save only the colors that are a little uneasy on the eyes, it's a site I can frequent regularly.

webscorpion · 03-02-2004, 12:22 AM

What color scheme would you suggest instead, guys?

Thanks.

nicholas · 03-02-2004, 01:08 AM

The color "scheme" itself isn't a problem, it's more like being just the colors themselves, so if you want to keep the same thematic set of colors, just change the hues to something more muted (even if they are the same blues) that are easier on the eyes.

For example, the blue #0000CC that you use as a background can be painful on the eyes, but a more muted #336699 is much cooler and easier... you can match it with greens (#339999), whites (as you already do with your text), light blues (#66CCCC) and reds (#CC3333) and so on.. (those are colors matched directly from the color wheel, btw). Otherwise, if you insist on using those colors then it should be matched with the appropriate text colors too (which can reduce eyestrain, but barely, if at all).

You may even be interested in www.colorschemer.com (everyone swears by it). Other than that, your site's on the right track and is a good one.

Hope that helps. Good luck!

not a bad start... make the text bigger...change the colors! change the logo as well...a big bland...good template and a good idea

webscorpion · 03-02-2004, 06:06 PM

Will work on it today. Thanks for the help and the link, nicholas.

Chaosbox, the logo is just temporary

Will definitely make a nicer one, I hope

Thanks.

webscorpion · 03-02-2004, 08:00 PM

Made slight color change as per your suggestion, nicholas

It looks better now. Thanks.

nicholas · 03-02-2004, 09:06 PM

much better indeed.. though the blue was only *one* change in several that you may want to add? I'll PM you with more suggestions that may sound too boring to post here, if you're interested. (And no, I'm not selling anything lol)

Anthony · 03-03-2004, 01:07 AM

The text needs to be more legible, I think.

webscorpion · 03-04-2004, 06:25 PM

Made a couple of changes in the site.

You've been much help, nicholas. Thanks a lot.

nicholas · 03-04-2004, 08:18 PM

You're welcome Ed, glad to be of any help.

Anthony · 03-05-2004, 02:26 PM

Ah, that's much better with the yellow. The black text stands out much better now!

Jeanco · 03-05-2004, 02:27 PM

the yellow looks good on the content part. What about centering the site and changing the background to black or a type of grey?

webscorpion · 03-05-2004, 04:50 PM

Glad you liked the changes, guys

Will try to center it, Ryan. Honestly, I don't know how to do it

Thanks.

Centered already
