I've recently released a new version of my website and would like to get some opinions on it.

Visit: Racuda

Please take any short amount of time to give a little review, thanks.

Jon_ · 06-03-2005, 10:48 AM

Oh, I saw this in the other forum.

And I still have the same opinion, great job on the design.

Killmur · 06-03-2005, 10:51 AM

Whoa I can not see anything. Please do not use a black font against a dark gray background. The layout itself is not too bad.

bhyraj · 06-03-2005, 10:54 AM

need change colour scheme. use white colour in font.

Jon_ · 06-03-2005, 10:56 AM

Ah, yes, the text, sorry I forgot to include, I truly think that's the only thing stopping this layout from being supurb.

StudioWorks · 06-03-2005, 12:37 PM

Hey. Good looking site. I like the layout but the text is so hard to read. I can't even see the menu text.

aguy · 06-03-2005, 03:42 PM

the site is fine but its very hard to read for me using ie with your fonts.
Sometimes i think people just post there site for review just because they want some hits.As they never reply to the feedback and dont take the good advice given.
Also i am a member of 2 other web design forums and you have posted the same review message in them lol and no reply from you either oh well im chatting shat coz im bored

Killmur · 06-03-2005, 04:08 PM

Sounds like another reger and leaver to me.

Well, you're 100% wrong, i've no idea what you're on about.
1. I generally want feedback.
2. I've posted NOWHERE else (maybe yet)
3. You are chatting "shat".
4. I WOULD BE EXETREMELY HAPPY TO SEE THESE "POSTS" THAT I HAVE MADE ELSEWHERE.

5. I registered a while ago. Not like I just signed up for "hits".
6. I was previously registered here as another account anyway.
7. After all this is a forum dedicated for reviews!

And to those who care, thanks for the feedback. I've already spent a while making the text more visible, I only beleive that darker text is the answer. As honestly, using lighter text looked very silly.

StudioWorks · 06-03-2005, 07:01 PM

Hey,
Racuda - Why make the text darker if people are having a hard time reading it ?

Why dont you use your old account anymore ?

Killmur · 06-03-2005, 07:07 PM

Probably a suspended account. Also dark fonts and dark bg's do not make for a great site or a excuse at all.

Zeeble · 06-03-2005, 07:50 PM

can't see much at all...

Rowan W · 06-03-2005, 09:29 PM

Is this a joke?

and why is right-click disabled? I want to modify your CSS so I can read the text.

edit: you claim the fonts for download on your site are not yours even though they're written in your name and point to your website. So why don't you leave the original readme files in there so we can see who actually made them?

You say people must pay you to remove the copyright from your free templates, did you pay the font creators so you could remove their copyrights?

Niek · 06-04-2005, 03:38 AM

1) waaaayyy to dark!
2) why do you even bother to use flash? you only have buttons which are in flash , and they don't do anything special so i think you can keep it to a rollover.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=95250
and at the http://www.racuda.com/?id=tutorials , you're frames aren't centered

and here:
http://www.racuda.com/?id=photoshop_tut_2d_effect
http://www.racuda.com/?id=photoshop_tut_2d_effect_orb
the text is huge!

i think you have some nice tutorials there do

conclusion:
Just make the text lighter , maybe the whole layout ,
and on some pages the font size.

Racuda · 06-04-2005, 04:16 AM

Lol, where to start.

My previous account was not suspended, I just decided on a new username.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=95250

The "frames" aren't supposed to be centered, this was how i designed it, you'll be able to see that it's not just on the tutorials page and it's it's on many other pages too.

I noticed the huge text, i'm not sure how or why, i've tried many times to fix it although nothing. (Any suggestions) Most of the site uses css, except the font size.

(Thanks for tutorials comment)

I don't really want the task of lightening the layout as i've just spent months making it, and I really just wouldn't want to.

Ofcourse the fonts aren't mine, and I do not claim them to be - I don't understand what you mean about them being in my name and pointing to my site. They do not have "original" readme's because when I got hold of them most of them didn't have an original readme, and even if they did, they mentioned nothing about who they belonged to, and the fonts didn't have any copyrights...

I made the text darker because it made it alot easier to read... and making the text lighter didn't/does not work.

All in all, thanks for comments. Despite the ones that offended me.

Zeeble · 06-04-2005, 04:33 AM

It seems to me that you are not actually listening to what we are saying. I have to be about 2 inches from the screen, as well as squinting to see any of the layout at all because its so dark. Thats unprofessional. You don't have to listen to me, but I would suggest you do, as not one person will stay on the site for longer than a few secs if its that dark.

aguy · 06-04-2005, 06:22 AM

Hmm well it looks to me like you do just want hits because your font is utter poop the fact its so hard to read and also you should think %10 of people suffer with a form of colour blindess how would you expect them to read it??
Also i have seen your site advertised on 2 other forums with a differnt user name then racuba i wont post the links to these posts because i will be advertising another forum in here.

Are you serious ? I'm hurting my eyes trying to read the text on your site & your navigation!

You should put yourself in the visitors shoes : If I can't read the text .. i'm going to click on the X button.

aguy · 06-04-2005, 07:58 AM

this is how someone using ie will see your site http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=6/15409040544.gif&s=x4 , yet you dont think the colouring is poop. Hmm ima stop posting about this anyway but to be blunt POOP.

Jiblob · 06-04-2005, 08:04 AM

Everything is a bit dark, Possibly Change the text colour lighter.

If you don't mind me asking, why have you chosen to make the design so thin?

Good luck

- Luke

Racuda · 06-04-2005, 08:42 AM

Racuda*

Ofcourse I'm listening. And I'm not after hits.

And I use I.E. and it does not look like that, thats just a poor quality image.

sinho · 06-04-2005, 08:48 AM

This site need a tube, I could not read anuthing...

JohnZ · 06-04-2005, 08:53 AM

I can't read anything... it's almost like one big, black page. You need to lighten up the site a notch.

I'm using FireFox btw.

COme to think of it Racuda... your monitor settings are probably off, and too light, so you see the site alright, while it's unreadable for everyone else.

aguy · 06-04-2005, 09:08 AM

Ok this is my last post about your site.Everything else is fine BUT you look like an ammature now plain and simple.Its your site i dont give 2 sh*ts but all your thinking is you like the colour blah blah %90 of your feedback has been saying they cant read nothing or they have to move close to the screen this shows you dont care what the people here say.LOL what de f*ck is with the bright orange firefox button at your intro page??looks so strange but its nice to see you no what colour is.Use a dark orange font or something for your writing and navigation like a lot of the cs websites do.

It seems Racuda, that the only kind of criticism that you are open for is: "that site is great" anything else you just dismiss.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=95250
Im going to post a screenshot of what I see, and then I want post again because you will just come up with some reason as to why I'm wrong too.
We get these kind of posts all the time, people unwilling to take suggestions.

I am doing 2 screenshots, both in the same format and saved by the same program. I will do one of Racuda.com and one of Namepros, then you will see that its got nothing to do with a loss of quality in the image.
